- Lead all event logistics: venue sourcing, vendor management, booth design, swag, staffing, and on-site execution.
- Track and report on event performance metrics (pipeline influenced, leads generated, cost per opportunity, ROI) and use data to optimize the program.
Skills / Experience
- 4+ years of event marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, logistics, supply chain, or a high-growth startup
- Proven track record owning events end-to-end — from strategy through post-event reporting
- Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines simultaneously
- Experience partnering with Sales teams to align event and content programming with pipeline goals
- Data-driven mindset: comfortable defining success metrics, pulling reports, and communicating event ROI
- Excellent communicator — written, verbal, and cross-functional
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure
- Willingness to travel for on-site event execution
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Unlimited PTO
- 401(k) managed by Empower
