- **Company:** Planned
- **Location:** Montréal, Canada
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-04-10

## Job description

Planned is the AI Event Intelligence Platform. Enterprises use Planned to source, manage, and pay for their meetings and events, with AI doing the work that used to take entire teams and agencies.

We're on a mission to disrupt a $500+ billion industry. To achieve that, we want to work with brilliant minds and natural leaders who are driven to out-think, out-plan, and outperform the competition. We tackle every business decision with enthusiasm, and we love the work that we do!

## Your Role

- Own design work end-to-end on real product features: research, ideation, prototyping, and iteration - with support from the team.
- Collaborate closely with engineers to bring your designs to life, and contribute to a shared design system that scales across the product.
- Build genuine understanding of our users through research, testing, and tight loops with Product and Customer Success.
- Communicate your thinking clearly - through docs, walkthroughs, or working sessions - so the whole team can give good feedback and stay aligned.

## About You

- Sharp visual and interaction instincts - you have a point of view on what "great" looks like and can articulate why.
- You use AI tools as a natural part of how you work - for research, ideation, prototyping, writing, or building.
- Curious and self-directed - you figure things out, ask good questions, and don't wait to be told what to do next.
- Think beyond the screen - you consider the full user journey, not just individual flows.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration - you know when to go hi-fi and when a rough sketch is the right tool.
- You work well with engineers and don't see handoff as a wall - you'd rather just build it together.

What Makes You Stand Out

- You can prototype in code: Framer, React, TailwindCSS, or just enough Next.js to make something feel real.
- You're at the intersection of design and engineering - you've shipped something, even if it was a side project.
- You have a portfolio that shows taste, judgment, and range

## What We Offer

- Culture of high performance, strong talent density and in-person collaboration
- Unlimited PTO
- Competitive comp packages packages
- All the tools and gear you need to be successful (Macbook Pro, screens, mouse, keyboard, Claude, Cursor, Figma, etc)
- Health, dental, vision, psychology insurance
- Professional development subsidy
- Bus pass subsidy or indoor parking
- Stocked up snack bar & lunches in office 2x per week
- Dog-friendly office
- Relocation assistance, if needed

## About Planned

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Planned is an AI operating system for corporate events that helps companies source, book, manage, and optimize their event programs from start to finish.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Marc-Antoine Bonin (Co-Founder) and Emeric Noel (Co-Founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Event Technology / Travel & Events / Enterprise SaaS
- Target customers: B2B, primarily Enterprise companies with large-scale event programs (e.g., Nike, Block, Airbnb)
- Mission: To help companies bring people together through exceptional in-person events that foster culture, connection, and belonging.

## Products & Services
- **Planned Platform (AI Operating System for Events)**: An AI-first, source-to-pay service for corporate travel and events. The platform automates sourcing, negotiation, contract review, invoicing, and policy enforcement. It combines AI that executes entire workflows (not just suggests) with human expert support for complex negotiations and strategic guidance.
- **AI-Powered Sourcing & Booking**: AI that sources venues, collects quotes, negotiates rates, reads contracts, processes invoices, and enforces company policies automatically.
- **Program Management & Policy Enforcement**: Allows companies to define event policies, approval flows, and supplier standards, which the AI enforces across every user, team, and region.
- **Expert Support Services**: A dedicated sourcing specialist team that handles complex negotiations, reviews AI outputs, and provides strategic consultation.
- **Brex Integration**: Virtual cards automatically created for approved supplier payments, tying every transaction to the event, invoice, and cost center for seamless reconciliation.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding raised (Series B) — $35.0M led by Drive Capital (July 2024). Prior rounds include a $9.5M Series A (July 2022, led by Drive Capital), a CAD $4.7M Venture Round (Dec 2020), and a Pre-Seed of $867K (Oct 2018, led by Inovia Capital and Telegraph Hill Capital).
- **Annual Revenue**: Estimated at $2.1M (private company, self-reported estimate)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Drive Capital (lead), Inovia Capital, Telegraph Hill Capital. Trusted by major clients including Nike, Block (Square), and Airbnb.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 21.9% year-over-year to approximately 68-83 employees. Expanding into EMEA with first Event Supply Specialist hire in the region. Consistently generates 13% or more in savings on multi-million dollar event budgets for clients. Strong LinkedIn follower growth (+19.6% yearly).

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-First, Full-Stack Platform**: Unlike general AI models or simple booking tools, Planned's AI is trained on years of event planning data and can execute entire workflows (sourcing, negotiating, invoicing) automatically, not just make suggestions.
- **Source-to-Pay Unification**: Combines sourcing, booking, contract management, payment, and reconciliation into a single platform with one invoice, giving full spend visibility and eliminating manual work.
- **Human + AI Hybrid Model**: Offers a unique blend of AI automation for routine tasks and dedicated human experts for complex negotiations and strategic program design, making it suitable for enterprise-grade requirements.
- **Policy Enforcement at Scale**: AI automatically enforces company event policies across all users, teams, and regions, solving a major pain point for large organizations.

## Strategic Focus
- **Global Expansion**: Actively hiring for roles in EMEA (Event Supply Specialist) to expand the supplier marketplace and customer base into new international markets.
- **Deepening Enterprise Integrations**: Recent Brex integration for streamlined payments and reconciliation signals a focus on embedding deeper into enterprise financial workflows.
- **Product-Led Growth & AI Advancement**: Continued investment in making the AI platform smarter and more autonomous, with the goal of reducing friction and cost for enterprise event programs.
