Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end logistics for Symplicity’s flagship conference presence, internal sales kickoff, prospect dinners, and select field events — from initial planning through on-site execution and post-event wrap-up
• Manage the annual events calendar and maintain a clear, up-to-date roadmap of what’s coming, what’s in flight, and what’s complete
• Partner with regional marketing and sales teams to ensure event programs are aligned to pipeline goals and deliver on attendance, engagement, and ROI targets
• Own all vendor, venue, and agency relationships — negotiate contracts, manage timelines, and hold external partners accountable to quality and budget
• Manage the events budget with precision — track spend, reconcile against actuals, and flag variances early; route contracts and approvals through the right channels (legal, finance)
• Build and maintain repeatable workflows and checklists so nothing slips
• Track event performance in HubSpot — attendance, pipeline created, pipeline influenced — and come to every debrief ready with data, not just a recap

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in B2B event marketing or event management, with a track record of running complex, multi-stakeholder events with minimal supervision
• Genuinely exceptional organizational skills — you have a system, you work it, and things don’t fall through the cracks
• Experience owning vendor and agency relationships, including negotiating contracts and managing to budget
• Comfort working directly with senior execs and external clients in a polished, professional, and personable way
• Proficiency with HubSpot or a comparable CRM/marketing automation platform; you understand how events connect to pipeline and you can show it
• A process-oriented mindset — you follow workflows, loop in legal and finance at the right moments, and don’t create surprises for the people around you
• Curiosity about AI-assisted tools and workflows — you’re open to experimenting, learning, and sharing what works with the team
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% to support flagship events

Benefits

• Full ownership of Symplicity’s event program — the calendar, the budget, the vendor relationships, and the results
• Direct partnership with the VP of Marketing and regional sales leaders who will invest in your success
• Access to global marketing resources, playbooks, and a collaborative team that shares openly across regions
• A team culture built around AI experimentation — we actively encourage everyone to test new tools, share learnings, and iterate together
• Based in our Arlington, VA office with flexibility for the right candidate
