About InstaLILY

InstaLILY is an AI products and infrastructure company that puts execution at the frontier of enterprise AI. That work begins with Lily™, the world's first AI Forward Deployed Engineer, which learns how a business works, builds the software it needs, and goes live in days. It does not leave when the work ships; it stays and keeps the software working as the business changes. Lily runs wherever the work happens, in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge, through InstaLILY's Small Data Center, built with NVIDIA technology. Founded in 2023 by Amit Shah and Sumantro Das, InstaLILY has raised nearly $100 million from Energize Capital, Insight Partners, and Home Depot Ventures. Headquartered in New York, with offices in San Francisco, London, and Toronto, InstaLILY serves leading companies across construction, industrial distribution, logistics, healthcare, and other operationally intensive industries.

The Traction

Revenue grew 5x over the past year, and Lily has driven over $200M in new annual sales for a single customer. We serve some of the largest operators in our industries, including SRS Distribution (part of The Home Depot family), United Rentals, and Henry Schein, and we work closely with the Google DeepMind and NVIDIA ecosystems.

How We Work

We work in small teams with real ownership: clear problems, direct access to the customers whose work you're changing, and room to ship. Your code runs in live production systems inside billion-dollar operations, so you see your impact directly. People who do well here want that proximity to the work. We're growing fast, and the people who join now shape what this company becomes. Everything runs on three principles: Customers, Culture, and Code.

The Role

You’ll fully own InstaLILY’s events program: hosted summits, exec dinners, fireside chats, mixers, Tech Week programming, Women in AI gatherings, and our presence at industry conferences and expos. You’ll work closely with Growth and GTM teams to tie every event to a business outcome — who we want to meet, what we want to leave with, and how we measure success. This is not pure event-planning. Every event connects to pipeline, brand, or both.

This internship also offers the possibility of conversion to a full-time role.

What You’ll Do

Own InstaLILY-hosted events end-to-end: venue logistics, vendor coordination (catering, AV, swag), registration platforms (Luma, Partiful), invite list curation, and run-of-show
Coordinate our presence at industry conferences and expos (e.g., MODEX, ISM World, Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE): team attendance, booth logistics, partner meetings, and post-event follow-up
Partner with the Brand & Content team on pre-event promo, on-site content, and post-event recaps
Work with the Women in AI program on curated events and community programming
Track event ROI: costs, attendance, meetings generated, pipeline influenced
Manage vendor relationships and maintain an event budget

What You’ll Need

0–2 years of professional experience. New grads welcome; strong internships or extracurricular event experience count
High-ownership mindset. You’re organized, proactive, and finish what you start without being asked twice
Comfortable with details and logistics without losing sight of the bigger GTM goal
Strong written and verbal communication. You’ll be emailing executives, vendors, and partners
Comfortable with ambiguity and fast pace. Event schedules shift, and you roll with it
Curious about AI and enterprise tech. You’ll be in the room with operators at our industry events

What You’ll Get

Proven product: Customers are live; this isn’t a bet on an unproven thesis
AI-native: In how we build, how we work, and what we sell
Visibility: Your work is visible from day one — executives, customers, and the industry will see what you put together
Stage: Early enough to shape how the company scales
Global: Based in New York with offices in SF and London
Culture: Sharp, low-ego team that keeps raising the bar
Growth: The learning curve is steep

Compensation and Benefits

Salary Range: $3,500 per month, commensurate with experience
Benefits: In-office lunch reimbursement

Quality Over Quantity

To ensure a focused, high-quality hiring experience, we kindly ask candidates to limit their applications to 3 open requisitions at any given time. Applying strategically to roles that best align with your skills and career goals gives you the highest chance of standing out. Have you interviewed with us in the past 12 months? We encourage you to reach out directly to your previous interviewer rather than submitting a new application.
