Summary

We are seeking a Program Manager to lead the planning and execution of Guidewire India’s events portfolio, including flagship tech events, leadership forums, employee engagement initiatives, and community-oriented activities. You will have the space to experiment with recent formats, test ideas, and continually raise the bar on how we show up—focusing on how to create experiences that people remember and talk about, not events that simply “tick the box.”

This role combines strategy, stakeholder management, and hands-on execution, and is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-growth, global, technology-driven environment.
Job Description

What you’ll do:
Event Strategy & Planning
- Translate business, brand, and people objectives into clear event strategies, formats, and success measures.
- Design end-to-end event journeys (pre-event, on-site, post-event) and manage annual/quarterly calendars to prioritize impact and avoid clashes.
- Enjoys trying new approaches—piloting formats, themes, and experiences,



then scaling what works instead of repeating “how it’s always been done.”

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Management
- Partner with senior leaders and teams across People/HR, Workplace, Communications, Marketing, and Security/IT to co-own outcomes.
- Set and manage expectations on scope, timelines, and budgets, bringing options, trade-offs, and recommendations—not just task updates.
- Work effectively with global stakeholders across time zones for leadership visits, customer experiences, and partner-facing events.

End-to-End Event Execution
- Own concept → plan → execution → measurement for multiple events in parallel.
- Lead on-ground operations (registrations, attendee communications, layouts, signage, hospitality, F&B;, AV, safety, compliance).
- Coordinate multi-day conferences, hackathons, town-halls, and large culture events, including speaker flow, agenda, zones, demos, and audience interaction.

Vendor & Budget Management
- Manage agencies and vendors
