Role Overview:

We are looking for a Manager of Event Marketing to lead our tradeshow strategy and serve as the architect of our "see it to believe it" physical brand presence.

This is not a "booth-and-kiosk" role. You will be responsible for translating our complex product value proposition into immersive, experiential environments that enable our account-based selling teams to break into new markets and engage high-value "new logo" targets. You will oversee the entire tradeshow engine across ten distinct market segments, ensuring that every dollar spent translates into market authority and measurable funnel acceleration.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Leadership & Tradeshow Architecture
  • Curate and manage the annual tradeshow calendar for 10 market segments, aligning event selection with our segment-specific go-to-market strategy.
  • Partner with Product Marketing to move beyond traditional demos. You will design "experiential" booth programming that allows prospects to touch, feel, and witness product functionality in a way that creates immediate "aha" moments.
  • Manage the full events budget, including exhibitor fees, complex booth buildouts, high-touch swag, and travel, ensuring high ROI across all spend.
• Execution & Team Management
  • Manage and mentor an Event Marketing Specialist, overseeing their execution of logistics, shipping, inventory management, and task completion within Asana.
  • Work closely with Accounting to reconcile budgets monthly and ensure our project management workflows remain airtight.
  • Beyond tradeshows, you will support our broader Field Marketing motion, executing Customer Advisory Summits, Executive Briefing Center (EBC) events, and factory tours where prospects can see our product in a live customer environment.
  • Execute high-touch ABM activations, including brand-hosted parties, luxury box suites, and "flywheel" lunch-and-learns designed to expand our footprint within existing farming accounts.
• Performance & Impact
  • Proactively assess show performance by gathering both quantitative data (badge scans, MQLs) and qualitative insights from the sales team (deal acceleration, market sentiment).
  • Deliver comprehensive post-mortem reports that influence future investment decisions and product positioning.

What You'll Have

• 3-5 years of experience in Event Marketing, Field Marketing, or Corporate Events, specifically within the B2B SaaS sector.
• Proven track record of managing large-scale tradeshow presences ($100k+ budgets).
• Demonstrates strategic planning abilities by analyzing market maps to determine optimal positioning for success.
• Excels in fast-paced B2B SaaS environments, with proven experience scaling event operations while maintaining high quality.
• Possesses a strong vision for creating engaging booth experiences that captivate audiences and transform product demos into marquee events.
• Has an analytical mindset with a focus on understanding the underlying reasons behind actions and results.
• Fluent in sales terminology and knowledgeable about how events influence pipeline velocity.
• Expertise in Asana (or similar project management tools) and Hubspot/Salesforce for lead tracking.
• Ability to travel (approximately 30%) to key shows and events.
• Experience with Account-Based Marketing (ABM) strategies is highly preferred.
