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
