Marketing & Events Lead

About the Foundation:

The Open Claw Foundation is the steward of the world's largest open source AI agent project. Its mission is grounded in a foundational conviction: that AI must be open, safe, and ultimately owned by the individuals and communities who use it.

The Open Claw Foundation is the steward of the world's largest open source AI agent project. Its mission is grounded in a foundational conviction: that AI must be open, safe, and ultimately owned by the individuals and communities who use it.

The Foundation operates across three core mandates:

• Advancing research into the human-agent relationship while continuously evolving the Open Claw platform;
• Maintaining and hardening the codebase to ensure security, reliability, and long-term sustainability;
• Establishing interoperability standards for the emerging agent era, defining how agents configure, communicate, establish trust, transact, and represent user identity across ecosystems.

Modeled after the governance structures that shaped the open web and modern computing infrastructure, the Foundation serves as a neutral, multi-stakeholder convening body — the equivalent of W3C or the Linux Foundation for the agentic AI era. Major laboratories and infrastructure providers collaborate under its umbrella on shared, vendor-neutral infrastructure, with no single organization controlling the roadmap or direction.

The Open Claw Foundation believes that individuals should have full sovereignty over their AI: their data, their interactions, and the behavior and personality of their agents. Open source is not incidental to this mission but central to it — code must remain free to use, modify, and build upon. The future of agentic AI will be defined by a broad, developer-driven community, not prescribed by any single commercial interest.

The Open Claw Foundation is seeking its first Marketing & Events Lead to build and execute the Foundation's global events, marketing, and ecosystem engagement strategy.

This is a highly operational role focused on execution, not agency management or high-level brand strategy. You will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and delivering the experiences that bring the Open Claw ecosystem together—from flagship conferences and hackathons to industry events, community activations, sponsorship programs, and digital campaigns.

The centerpiece of this role will be owning Claw Con
, Open Claw Foundation’s conference and meetup arm (multiple events per quarter globally). From venue selection and sponsorship execution to speaker management, attendee experience, logistics, production, and post-event follow-up, you will serve as the operational leader responsible for making every Claw Con a world-class event.

You will also manage The Foundation’s broader event portfolio, helping establish the Foundation as the gathering place for developers, researchers, enterprises, startups, and ecosystem leaders shaping the future of agentic AI.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on building systems, managing details, coordinating stakeholders, and turning ambitious ideas into flawlessly executed experiences.
This role will likely require 40-50% travel internationally.
