Strategic Events & Experiences Lead
Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective.
Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters.
About this Role
At Sage, events and experiences are how we build community, create belonging, and inspire advocacy. From sparking curiosity with prospects to celebrating the success of customers, events are a key differentiator in how we show up and grow. We’re looking for a Strategic Events & Experiences Lead to design and deliver programs that bring Sage’s story to life across the customer journey — turning first impressions into lasting relationships and customers into champions.
