Job Summary

Drive Semgrep’s global tradeshow program end-to-end, from planning to on-site execution and post-event follow-up.

  • Must-have: 5–8 years in B2B event marketing with hands-on tradeshow ownership.
  • Standout: Experience running hosted programming (dinners/activations) inside conference footprints.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end execution of Semgrep's presence at third-party tradeshows and conferences across a global calendar from contract handoff through booth logistics, staffing, on-site management, and post-show wrap
  • For Tier 1 events such as RSA, Black Hat, and AWS re:Invent, manage the full scope of Semgrep's on-site footprint beyond the booth, including hosted dinners and side events, hotel room block management, swag production and fulfillment, badge scanning and lead capture setup, sponsored speaking coordination, and partner or co-marketing logistics
  • Collaborate with the Head of Global Events on booth experience and design direction, then own all execution: vendor coordination, production timelines, asset management, and on-site delivery
  • Build and maintain the processes, playbooks, and operational frameworks that make our tradeshow program consistent and scalable as the calendar grows
  • Manage all exhibit and event-related vendor relationships, ie: exhibit houses, AV, swag vendors, hotels, restaurants, and shipping and logistics partners, negotiating contracts and holding partners to quality and cost targets
  • Own pre-show and post-show coordination with Sales and SDR, including staffing logistics, booth briefings, lead capture setup, and follow-up sequencing
  • Plan and execute Semgrep-hosted programming within third-party conference footprints, including customer and prospect dinners, side events, and on-site activations tied to Tier 1 shows like RSA, Black Hat, and AWS re:Invent
  • Own end-to-end logistics for hosted events: venue sourcing and contracting, guest list management, catering, AV, run-of-show, and on-site execution
  • Bring the same operational rigor to hosted programming as to the booth, ensuring every touchpoint within a conference footprint feels intentional and on-brand
  • Contribute meaningfully to Semgrep's inaugural user conference in 2026, supporting the Head of Global Events on logistics, vendor coordination, and on-site execution for what will be the company's largest owned event to date
  • Deeply understand Semgrep's revenue marketing goals and how the events program contributes to pipeline and growth. Your execution directly impacts those outcomes
  • Bring deep expertise in how tradeshows contribute to pipeline, and partner with the Head of Global Events to define KPIs and report results with insights
  • Act as the primary cross-functional executor across Marketing, Sales, SDR, and Product Marketing coordinating logistics, messaging alignment, and stakeholder readiness for every event
  • Drive pre- and post-show pipeline follow-through in close partnership with Sales and SDR, ensuring booth and event investment translates to leads and engaged pipeline
  • Manage event budgets with precision, forecasting spend, tracking actuals, and flagging risks early
  • Contribute to the broader events operating model: tooling, process documentation, and team best practices
