The Role
In this role, you will be managing high-profile reputation events, including but not limited to press conferences, influencer engagement, and experiential initiatives. You will develop event-driven marketing programs to support broader marketing campaigns and will work across multiple internal teams and partners (creative, press, marketing, legal, business development, etc.) to deliver results-driven “live marketing.” You will thrive under pressure, enjoy travel, and have a passion for event logistics, strategy, and execution.
Responsibilities
- Develop, produce, and measure event-driven marketing programs, ranging from experiential activations to digital live-marketing initiatives.

- Lead full-scale event production, including logistics, content development, venue management, promotions, and partner coordination.
- Evaluate event performance and produce post-event reports, including ROI analysis and key insights.
- Build strong relationships and effectively manage vendors, partners, executives, and internal stakeholders.
Requirements
- BA/BS degree required with at least 7+ years of experience in a similar experiential marketing role.
- Must be self-motivated, articulate, and possess excellent verbal and written communication skills, as well as strong interpersonal abilities.
- Exceptional budget management, negotiation, organizational, and presentation skills.
- Ability to strategize at a high level supported by strong tactical execution; able to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure, high-growth environment; must be willing to travel and work long, flexible hours.
Who thrives with us:
- People who want to learn, but are self-motivated to learn from their projects
- People who enjoy the really hard problems
- People who enjoy having too much vs. too little to do
- People who like creating from nothing (We still need a lot built to support our growth)
- People who understand how to build and maintain relationships with their coworkers and their clients
- People who like making others successful and understand the value of that as much as making themselves successful
- People who leave their egos at home and really enjoy working with other brilliant people
