• Lead on-site event operations, solving problems quickly and ensuring exceptional experiences for attendees, partners, speakers, and colleagues.
• Measure event success using predefined KPIs, gather feedback, and continuously improve the way Solflare delivers events at scale.
• Support internal company events, including offsites, team gatherings, and culture-building initiatives.
