Director, Events

About this role

About Engine Engine is the AI-native platform for intelligent travel. For a decade, Engine has built the proprietary technology and supply behind modern business travel, serving over 40,000 customers and nearly 2 million travelers, along with leading travel and AI companies that build on Engine's infrastructure. One system powers business travel, group travel, human agents, and AI agents. That work has earned Engine recognition as TravelTech's Reservation Platform of the Year (2026), a spot on Inc.'s Power Partners list (2026), and one of Built In's Best Places to Work (2020–2026).

We're looking for bold, ambitious people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel. Working here, you can expect exponential growth, an ambitious pace, full ownership, and high-caliber colleagues who push you to do the best work of your career. Every hire raises the bar. Come outpace the ordinary and build the future of travel with us. About the Role Events are where Engine’s brand becomes a felt experience where decision-makers, supply partners, and customers move from knowing our name to living our ambition.

We have a diverse set of product lines and business motions, and we need one leader who can make events a core part of how we reach everyone in Engine’s orbit. As Director of Events, you’ll own the entire events portfolio: Tier 1 conferences, decision-maker events, supply partner events, partner events, government programs, and our own first-party events for customers. You’ll lead with our brand, design experiences that match our ambitions, and build the playbooks that make every event a measurable, monetizable engine for growth.

Your Mission Make Engine impossible to ignore in person. You’ll be obsessed with how we lead with our brand and how we turn rooms into momentum, thinking about scale in ways other companies can’t, and creating in-person moments that punch above their weight across every product line and motion. What You'll Own The full events portfolio. Strategy, calendar, budget, and execution across every event type and every product line by creating a single, coherent program rather than a pile of one-offs.

Tier 1 conferences. How Engine shows up at the industry’s biggest stages: presence, activations, and moments that earn attention and outshine larger competitors. Decision-maker events. Intimate, high-intent experiences (dinners, salons, executive gatherings) designed to move the people who sign the deals. Supply & partner events. Programs that deepen relationships with our supply partners and the broader partner ecosystem — reinforcing the Engine-only advantage that sets us apart.
