Job Summary

Own end-to-end field marketing programs from planning to execution, coordinating trade shows, roadshows, public sector events, and partner programs to drive pipeline, with strong cross-functional and vendor management.

  • Align field programs with government buying cycles to maximize impact
  • Collaborate with Sales, Demand Gen, and Partners to convert events into measurable pipeline

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Execute the Field Marketing Calendar
  • Own end-to-end logistics for trade shows, executive dinners, roadshows, customer forums, agency roundtables, and field activations — venue coordination, vendor management, shipping, staffing, and run of show. You drive demand generation through every format you touch.
  • Lead Public Sector Field Programs
  • Design and execute public-sector-appropriate event formats — mission-focused briefings, tech demo days, agency roundtables, and executive breakfasts — that comply with government ethics and procurement norms while building trusted relationships with program and acquisition stakeholders.
  • Build the field calendar around government buying cycles — driving pipeline programs that peak ahead of federal year-end (September 30) and state budget windows, capitalizing on use-it-or-lose-it spending opportunities.
  • Own Trade Show Operations
  • Manage all exhibitor portals: submissions, deadlines, booth assignments, labor orders, sponsorship deliverables, and compliance requirements. You know these systems and nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Activate Regional Field Programs
  • Coordinate roadshows, lunch-and-learns, Galleon tours, partner co-marketing events, and field activations across commercial and public sector audiences — managing timelines, vendors, and logistics from kickoff through debrief.
  • Drive Pipeline Through Sales Alignment

Requirements

  • 8+ years in B2B field marketing, demand generation, or event management for a tech company — with hands-on ownership of both strategy and execution.
  • Generalist field marketing skill set — you've driven pipeline through trade shows, roadshows, executive events, ABM programs, and integrated digital campaigns.
  • Tight sales alignment experience — you've worked directly with AEs and BDRs on account targeting, pre-event outreach, and post-event follow-up to convert pipeline.
  • Hands-on experience managing trade show exhibitor portals (Freeman, Cvent, Experient, or similar) — deadlines, forms, and fine print included.
  • Proven track record executing events end to end without a large team; 0-to-1 builder DNA with operational rigor to match.
  • Superior organizational skills — detailed trackers, zero missed deadlines, five workstreams in the air without dropping one.
  • Strong vendor management and budgeting skills with a negotiate-like-it's-your-own-money mindset.
  • Comfortable with executives, technical SMEs, and government stakeholders; polished on-site presence.
  • Fully available for significant travel, long hours, evenings, and weekends — non-negotiable.

Preferred

  • Direct public sector field marketing experience — you've built and run programs targeting federal agencies, defense, or national security audiences as a primary segment, not as an occasional add-on.
  • Familiarity with government procurement cycles, ethics rules, and acquisition norms that shape how you design and execute public sector programs.
  • Background in industrial edge, energy, space, enterprise infrastructure, or AI/ML tech.
  • Experience building event playbooks, ROI dashboards, and scalable field marketing processes from scratch.
  • Existing relationships within public sector associations, systems integrators, or the defense ecosystem.
  • Proficiency with virtual event platforms or hybrid event production.
  • Ability to set up lightweight AV or demo environments on site.

Benefits
