How to Apply for Events & Audience Engagement Manager
at Technovation
🏢 About Technovation
Technovation is the world's largest AI accelerator exclusively for girls and women, creating the largest global women-in-tech network. They empower young people and women across 120+ countries to become AI innovators and leaders, making them unique in their mission-driven focus on gender equity in technology. Working here means contributing directly to closing the gender gap in AI while being part of a global movement.
About This Role
As Events & Audience Engagement Manager, you'll lead logistics for 10-15 annual events (virtual and in-person) that connect Technovation's global community of girls and women in AI. This role is impactful because successful events directly drive participation in their accelerator programs, expand their women-in-tech network, and help secure future funding through donor engagement. You'll be responsible for turning their mission into memorable experiences that motivate attendance and participation.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with reviewing registration data from multiple time zones, then coordinating with international chapter leads about upcoming virtual events. You'd likely spend time personalizing outreach to potential attendees, negotiating with venues for in-person gatherings, and collaborating with program teams to align event content with Technovation's AI curriculum goals. The role balances strategic planning for future events with hands-on management of immediate logistics.
