- Drive Business Outcomes: Partner closely with Sales to map events against target accounts, secure qualified meetings, and drive engagement across the entire buyer journey.
- Measure Impact: Track and report on key event metrics and ROI to evaluate program success.
- ICP Landscape & Thought Leadership: Deeply understand the in-person landscape for our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) knowing exactly where our audience gathers so we can secure key speaking placements and maximize client engagement.
- Sales Alignment & Expectations: Establish, communicate, and enforce clear pre-, during-, and post-event expectations with Sales, while building tight feedback loops to refine future strategy.
- Campaign Orchestration: Collaborate with Product Marketing, Brand & Creative, Communications, and broader cross-functional stakeholders to align messaging and amplify integrated campaigns.
- Internal Visibility: Maintain and manage a central internal event database to ensure full visibility into our event presence and strategy across the entire organization.

- Experience hosting events.
- Travel Flexibility (25%): Willingness and ability to travel as needed for onsite management and activation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Rigorous Project Management: Meticulously organized with a track record of driving complex timelines, managing concurrent workstreams, and executing flawlessly.
