Event Content Manager, DX

About DX
DX helps engineering leaders build high-performing, productive teams. We collect millions of data points daily, powering insights into developer productivity and experience at companies like Pinterest, GitHub, BNY, Xero, and many more. DX recently joined Atlassian, expanding our resources and accelerating our mission to help every engineering organization measure and maximize their impact, including the impact of AI.
Our marquee conferences- DX Annual and DX Annual Europe-bring together hundreds of engineering leaders for research-driven talks, peer learning, and actionable takeaways. We're looking for someone to own the content program that makes these events world-class.
The role
As Event Content Manager, you will own the end-to-end content lifecycle for DX's marquee conferences. You'll report into the Events team. You'll also work closely with the Research team, who serves as the editorial and strategic director for the content program-setting themes, selecting topics, and shaping the overall narrative. Your job is to operationalize that vision: running the call for speakers, managing speaker logistics end-to-end, keeping production on track, and ensuring a world-class experience for every speaker who touches our stage.
This is a hands-on execution role. You'll be selecting, reaching out to, and coordinating with speakers. You'll also be managing timelines, coordinating prep and rehearsals, providing feedback on talks, and serving as the primary point of contact for speakers from first outreach through post-event follow-up.
Why this role matters:
DX Annual is not a product launch event-it's a peer-learning experience where engineering leaders walk away with promotable ideas and actionable frameworks. The Event Content Manager is the person who makes that happen: curating the right voices, shaping the right stories, and ensuring every speaker delivers their best work. You'll have a direct line to our Research team's proprietary data and insights, and you'll help translate that into programming that attendees call "the best conference I've been to."
Priority 1: Speaker management and content operations

• Coordinate with the Research team on content program design - they set the editorial direction; you execute the operational plan to bring it to life
• Run the Call for Speakers program end-to-end - system setup, reviewer assignments, messaging, submission tracking, and website updates
• Manage speaker communications and logistics - pre-event outreach, calendar holds, Know Before You Go (KBYG) materials, travel coordination, and post-event thank-yous
• Relay Research team feedback to speakers on their content - helping speakers shape their talks based on editorial guidance from yourself and the Research team
• Manage content workback timelines - create and maintain production schedules, align with audience acquisition and website timelines, track deliverables
• Facilitate deck reviews and handoff to production - coordinate deck design/cleanup, copy editing, and creative asset delivery
• Support session and agenda management - session room allocation, scheduling, A/V requirements, live streaming needs, and digital content setup
• Create cue sheets, VOG scripts, and MC scripts for event production
• Manage on-site rehearsals and speaker ready room - coordinate rehearsal schedules, A/V checks, and day-of speaker support
• Analyze event content performance - post-event feedback and recommendations for improvement (think critically; act like a product manager for your content program)

Secondary priorities: Internal speaker management & supporting additional events

• Prep internal DX employees to speak on stage - manage rehearsals, logistics, and communications for internal speakers
• Build and maintain a speaker list (internal + external) that Events staff can tap for DX-hosted and sponsored events - you're the go-to person when someone needs a panelist or speaker recommendation
• Provide white-glove logistics for C-level and customer speakers - travel, comms, and on-site support
