OpenRouter is the largest, most battle-tested AI model exchange: 300+ models from 60+ providers, processing ~30 trillion tokens monthly. Instead of hand-rolling routing logic and juggling provider keys, you route through OpenRouter once and let Auto Router pick the best execution path for every request - with automatic failover when providers degrade.

We power some of the most advanced AI builders in the world by giving them the flexibility to move fast, scale confidently, and stay future-proof as models evolve.

The Role

We’re just getting started with events at OpenRouter, and we don’t want to do boring ones.

We’re looking for an Event Marketer that can take ideas, run with them, and turn them into events and experiences people actually want to show up to.

This is a hands-on, execution-first role. You’ll work across Marketing, Sales, and EPD to bring ideas to life - whether that’s a scrappy founder dinner, a polished conference activation, or something we haven’t tried yet.

If you’re the kind of person who hears “we should do something here” and immediately starts making it real - this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Run events end-to-end

• Execute across formats:

  • Conference activations and industry events

  • Curated dinners and small, high-signal gatherings

  • Partner and third-party community events

• Own logistics, vendors, budgets, timelines, and on-site execution

Turn ideas into something repeatable

• Take rough concepts and make them real

• Build lightweight playbooks and templates as patterns emerge

• Help us go from one-off events to a program that scales

Work across teams and audiences

• Collaborate with Marketing, Sales, and EPD to support key initiatives

• Help us show up effectively across:

  • Developers

  • Startups

  • AI-native teams

  • VP and C-level leaders

• Adjust formats and execution based on who’s in the room

Coordinate partners and vendors

• Work with venues, agencies, and ecosystem partners

• Support co-hosted events with VCs and communities

Keep things tight and improving

• Track what we’re doing and what’s working

• Help bring structure as we increase volume

Who You Are

• 4+ years of experience running events (startup, tech, or agency)

• Experience with both:

  • Large conferences / activations

  • Smaller, curated experiences

• You’re a doer - you move quickly and figure things out

• Strong operator with attention to detail and follow-through

• Comfortable with ambiguity and changing plans

• Good taste - you know the difference between high-signal and forgettable

• Comfortable with AI-native workflows—you embrace automation and AI-assisted ways of working to move faster

• Ability to travel regularly (amount will vary dependent upon where the hire is based)

Nice to have

• Experience with AI, developer tools, or technical audiences

• Experience producing events for founders, startups, or VP and C-level leaders

• Experience in fast-moving, low-structure environments

Why This Role

• Early role with real ownership and visibility

• Opportunity to help build the events motion from the ground up

• Work across multiple teams and audiences

• Create events that people actually remember

Why OpenRouter

• Work at the center of the AI infrastructure stack as enterprises define how they adopt LLMs.

• Build the content and positioning strategy for a product with clear, tangible ROI: cost efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and innovation velocity.

• High ownership and visibility with direct impact on how OpenRouter is perceived in the market.

• Competitive compensation, including base salary and equity.

• Fully remote team with a strong culture of autonomy and trust.
