Events & Community Manager

About SCALIS

SCALIS is an AI-native recruiting and applicant tracking platform based in Miami, built on a simple belief: Hiring Shouldn't Suck™. Our events bring HR and talent acquisition leaders together for dinners and experiences that are actually fun, and they have become a core part of how we grow. We have hosted about 200 dinners across the US in 2026 alone, including more than 500 recruiting and people leaders in Q1.

The role

You will plan, run, and often host SCALIS events, and you will be the friendly face guests remember. This is a hands-on, on-the-ground role that supports our marketing team as we grow our dinner series (about 200 dinners across the US this year) and add new event formats. You will report to our marketing director, with our CEO as backup when something urgent comes up.

You will work alongside a part-time events assistant who handles most RSVP texting and admin, but you stay on top of RSVPs too so nothing slips. Expect to be on-site hosting about 20% of the time. The other 80% is on the road between hotels and airports, doing outreach, confirming RSVPs, following up, and building our events community on LinkedIn.

How our dinners work

Our dinners are relaxed, relationship-first evenings, not sales events. Guests are never pitched, and the goal is long-term connections.

• When: typically Monday through Thursday evenings, with travel usually booked early morning or late evening so your days stay free for work
• Who: HR, talent acquisition, and recruiting leaders, from C-level to entry-level recruiters, in-house and agency
• Format: about 90 minutes with the whole group, light and unstructured, with one icebreaker 10-15 minutes into dinner
• Outreach: starts in our CRM (HubSpot), where we keep segments for 30+ cities, before expanding the search with tools like Apollo and Instantly

What you'll do

• Plan and run dinners and new event formats in cities across the country, including booking the reservations
• Negotiate with restaurants and venues, and work with their party planning teams when needed
• Manage event budgets with our CEO and keep each dinner within our financial structure
• Host events and make every guest feel welcome, from first hello to follow-up
• Keep RSVPs on track with text and email follow-ups
• After every event you host, post photos with a caption on your own LinkedIn and tag everyone who came (this is a big part of the job)
• Connect with every attendee and do LinkedIn outreach to invite new HR and talent acquisition leaders to upcoming events
• Collaborate with our social media team so your posts and our brand channels work together
• Come up with new event formats and ideas, and make our dinners better each time
• Track what works and recommend what to do next

Your first 90 days

• Start outreach for the events you will host and begin building relationships with attendees
• Shadow one or two dinners (or a walkthrough call), since the process is easy to pick up
• Within the first few weeks, start hosting dinners and events yourself
• Post your LinkedIn follow-ups after each event you host

Who you are

• Warm and outgoing: you make strangers feel like friends within minutes
• Highly organized: you keep logistics, budgets, and timelines straight
• Independent: you work well without hand-holding and take ownership
• Ambitious and curious: you keep asking how to make each dinner better and are not afraid to try new things
• Happy on the road: you enjoy frequent travel and the lifestyle that comes with it
• Comfortable being visible online: you are happy to post on LinkedIn regularly and grow your own network
• Polished and professional at events where alcohol is served
• Comfortable in a room full of HR and recruiting professionals
• 1-2 years of experience in events, sales, partnerships, or hospitality is preferred but not required
• Fun, with a good sense of humor! :D
