In this role, you will:
  • Develop, plan, and execute event and field marketing programs in North America and EMEA, including owned, partner and third-party sponsored events (conferences, VIP dinners, webinars, and more)
  • Serve as the central point of contact for internal cross-functional teams, event partners and vendors, ensuring flawless communication and coordination for all in-person and virtual events.
  • Manage logistical planning for both in-person and virtual events, including: venue or platform selection, catering, signage and decor, registration, tech support, invoicing and billing, and more.
  • Equip internal teams—including leadership, sales, and customer success—with comprehensive event marketing briefs and updates, ensuring everyone is prepared and aligned.
  • Handle pre- and post-event communications with attendees, prospects, customers, and partners, including email marketing to drive registrations, coordinating messaging for internal teams, and sending post-event emails and surveys to gather feedback.
  • Collaborate directly with sales to coordinate invitations, meetings, and follow-ups with target accounts, while ensuring clear internal communication across departments on goals, logistics, and performance metrics for each event.
  • Collaborate with customer success and product teams to create industry-specific, customer-centric event content that educates clients, drives product adoption, and identifies opportunities for upsell and retention.
  • Manage deliverables through Asana, overseeing project timelines and managing the event calendar.
  • Set goals, define metrics, track and report on all event marketing efforts using HubSpot to inform future strategy recommendations.
  • Work with Senior Director, Brand Marketing to identify and ideate around new event and marketing initiatives and monitor the industry for best practices in driving engagement.
 
Who we’re looking for:
  • You’ve got 3-5 years of B2B event or field marketing under your belt, and you know how to create experiences that “wow.”
  • G-Suite, HubSpot, and Asana are your go-to tools, and you’re quick to pick up new martech platforms like Zoom Events, Descript, or Canva.
  • From venue logistics to attendee communications, you’ve got an eye for the details that make events seamless and successful.
  • You’re a natural at coordinating with cross-functional teams, partners, and vendors, ensuring everyone’s on the same page.
  • You know how to set goals, track metrics, and report on event success, using data to fine-tune future strategies.
  • Whether it’s a local meetup or a major conference, you’re ready to roll with the punches and adapt to each event's needs.
  • You’re open to traveling, both domestically and internationally, to bring our events to life wherever they’re happening.
  • You’re Toronto-based (bonus!)—being local means you can help with event logistics in the office when needed, but we’re flexible if you’re not nearby.
 
Why you’ll love joining us now: 
  • We’ve just launched a bold rebrand, and your creativity will play a key role in how our new identity makes waves across the industry.
  • As we expand into exciting regions like EMEA, you’ll support events that help build our global influence.
