Senior Culture & Events Manager

About the role

What you'll do

• Own internal events end-to-end: Summer Synergy, team on-sites, local meetups, and recurring virtual programming (Big Donuts, lunch & learns, happy hours, socials)
• Run our core culture programs: tenure and life-gifting, Value Awards, and the rituals that recognize our people
• Partner with managers: own our manager culture training, helping new and existing managers role-model our values and use the tools available to lead their teams well
• Measure what's working: track engagement, gather feedback, and use it to prioritize what we do more (or less) of
• Partner across the business: collaborate with the founders, People team, and Office & Events team to keep the experience consistent and high-quality across everything we ship
• Own our swag program: shape BioRender's branded merch program in close in partnership with the founders

What we're looking for

• Exceptional program manager/operator: You can run multiple programs in parallel, sweat the details, ship on time and use AI to streamline the work.
• Events experience: You've planned and executed memorable events in a startup, agency, or hospitality environment.
• Culture-first instincts: You care deeply about employee experience. You have great taste, high empathy, and the ability to read a room.
• Strong stakeholder management: You are comfortable working directly with founders and executives - managing up, pushing back when needed, and earning trust quickly.
• High resilience and comfort with ambiguity: You stay grounded when priorities shift.
• Willingness to do the work: You're experienced enough to shape ideas but happy to roll up your sleeves on execution.

Nice to have:

• Design sensibility for swag and merch.

Why this role

• Opportunity to shape the culture of a company that genuinely invests in it. We're generous with our culture budget and care deeply about getting it right
• Work directly with founders and senior leadership who treat culture as core to the business, not a side project
• Real ownership: once we align on direction, you have the autonomy to run with execution
• Help build an employee experience that lets some of the most talented people in science communication do their best work

Why join us?

• We are mission-driven: we work collaboratively towards our shared vision of improving scientific communication and accelerating scientific discovery. BioRender figures have appeared in more than 54,000 publications!
• BioRender is loved by millions: We have a world-class NPS and a community of loyal fans and users in 200+ countries!
• Our company is backed by top investors and accelerators like Y Combinator, and we are on a growth trajectory comparable to many top-performing SaaS companies
• We’re remote-first with team members across Canada and the U.S., offering you the flexibility to work from anywhere.
