Producer, Events & Experiences
About us At Sierra, we’re creating a platform to help businesses build better, more human customer experiences with AI. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices in Atlanta, New York, London, Paris, Madrid, Munich, Singapore, Japan, and Sydney.
We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and Family. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
Our co-founders are Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor . Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce (which had acquired the company he founded, Quip) and CTO of Facebook. Bret was also one of Google's earliest product managers and co-creator of Google Maps.
Before founding Sierra, Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs. Earlier, he started and led Google’s AR/VR effort, Project Starline, and Google Lens. Before that, Clay led the product and design teams for Google Workspace.
About the role We’re looking for a Producer on the Events & Experiences team to help bring Sierra’s most important moments to life — not just what happens on stage, but the entire arc of how an attendee experiences Sierra. You’ll join a small team with a high bar for craft, producing everything from large conferences and product launches to executive gatherings, field events, and experiential activations.
This role lives at the intersection of live production and creative vision. You’ll shape how our events look, sound, and feel; partner with creative teams and production vendors to deliver them flawlessly; and think well beyond the main stage to the texture of the whole experience.
We care deeply about Craftsmanship, getting the details right, from the words on a slide to the way people move through a room and you’ll be the person who holds that bar
