Field Marketing Manager

Responsibilities

• You01ll own Nimble's presence in the field — the event engine that puts us in front of the AI engineers who build on us and the enterprise buyers who sign.
• Strategy & Budget
• Decide which events we invest in, how we show up, and which ones we walk away from
• Own the annual calendar — conferences, hackathons and meetups, regional summits, executive dinners, and partner co-marketing activations
• Own the budget end to end, including sponsorship and vendor negotiation
• Leverage existing and build new relationships with partners to amplify our presence at events
• Execution
• Own venue, contracts, run-of-show, speaking slots, and booth
• Design the programming — not just the venue — that makes a dinner worth the room's evening
• Brief executives and sellers so everyone arrives with the same story

Requirements

• 4+ years managing events at a high-growth B2B tech company (AI/data space strongly preferred)
• Existing relationships across both enterprise and AI-native technical companies — deep connections in SF or NY a strong plus
• Demonstrated success planning both developer-focused events (hackathons, meetups, technical conferences) and executive-level events (dinners, summits, customer gatherings)
• Proven ownership of the full event lifecycle — planning, pre-event logistics, on-site execution, and post-event follow-up
• Strong vendor management, budgeting, and negotiation skills
• Data-driven approach to events: comfortable defining metrics, tracking ROI, and reporting results to senior management
• Experience supporting large industry events and regional summits
• You're highly organized and can juggle multiple events and stakeholders without dropping a ball
• You bring creativity to every event — you don't default to the obvious playbook, and you've hosted a dinner where the programming, not the venue, made the room worth everyone's evening
• You operate with autonomy and take ownership from first idea to final follow-up email, with minimal dependency on others
