## About the role

Depending on the event, you'll work independently or alongside the Head of Events to produce experiences that feel thoughtful, polished, and distinctly YC. The expectation is that you're comfortable collaborating and also have the ability to own every stage of event production. Building detailed production schedules, run-of-shows, staffing plans, and event documentation.

- You thrive in a small, highly collaborative team where everyone contributes directly to the success of each event
- You communicate professionally with founders, executives, investors, public officials, vendors, and guests
- You're passionate about YC's mission and excited to showcase the world's best startups through thoughtful, impactful event experiences
