Events Marketing Manager

About the Role

Procurement leaders learn about new technology from peers at conferences, around roundtable dinners, and in the rooms where practitioners get honest with each other. This role owns those rooms.

As our Events and Field Marketing Manager, you’ll run Fairmarkit’s full external presence: industry conferences, speaking opportunities, hosted field events, Customer Advisory Boards, and virtual programs. This is a hands-on role with real ownership — and a real pace. We run multiple events every month, big and small, and this person keeps all of it moving.

You’ll manage logistics and budget, order swag, coordinate speaking submissions, prepare teams, and still have a point of view on what’s worth doing. That point of view extends to content: you’ll collaborate with the team on what gets said on stage, in invitations, and in follow-ups, and you’ll have real taste for what resonates with a procurement audience. AI-native efficiency isn’t optional here; it’s how you do the job well.

Responsibilities

• Own the annual events calendar: selection, prioritization, and budget allocation across industry conferences, regional field events, and virtual programs.
• Partner with content and demand gen on event programming and messaging: you have a strong point of view on what procurement audiences actually find valuable, and you bring that into every agenda, speaker brief, and post-event touchpoint.
• Develop experiential marketing programs that bring the Fairmarkit brand to life at conferences, executive dinners, and hosted events, creating memorable moments that deepen engagement with procurement leaders.
• Plan and execute Customer Advisory Boards and customer roundtables with Customer Success end-to-end, from invitations through post-event follow-up.
• Build and manage the speaking engagement pipeline: identify opportunities, coordinate submissions, and prep executives and customers for the stage.
• Drive pre- and post-event promotion with demand generation: email, social, content sequencing.
• Plan our annual event and 3-4 smaller, hosted Fairmarkit field events per year, including venue sourcing, vendor management, run-of-show, and attendee experience.
• Handle all logistics: registration, vendor contracts, swag ordering, booth operations, travel coordination.
• Use AI tools actively to streamline planning, personalize outreach, and move faster than a team twice your size; we’ll support with the tools you need!
• Track event-attributed pipeline and report results to the Head of Revenue Marketing.
