Senior Event Operations Manager

Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout.

We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default.

Docker’s event portfolio - flagship conferences, developer roadshows, digital events, and community activations - is how Docker shows up in the world and turns developer enthusiasm into enterprise pipeline. As the portfolio grows, operational excellence is what lets it scale without added risk or complexity.

As a Senior Event Operations Manager, you will own the operational execution of that portfolio. Working closely with Docker's Director of Events, you coordinate planning timelines, manage vendors and logistics, own budgets and the event tech stack, and build the repeatable playbooks that keep programs running smoothly and consistently across the year.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building systems, bringing structure to fast-moving projects, and delivering high-quality experiences at scale.

You will report to the Director of Events within Marketing and partner daily with Product Marketing, Developer Relations, Field Marketing, and Sales.

Please note: for this role, you must have the ability to travel 35% of the time across North America, along with international travel as-needed.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Success in this role is operational: events are delivered smoothly and consistently across the portfolio, teams have clear planning processes and execution frameworks to work from, and operational risks are identified early and resolved quickly. Above all, programs are able to grow and scale without increasing complexity, because the systems, playbooks, and budgets you build absorb that growth.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own operational execution across the event portfolio - major conferences, developer roadshows, digital events, and community activations - managing timelines, project plans, and execution milestones across multiple concurrent events, and keeping them on schedule, on budget, and aligned to internal goals.
