The Role
We are looking for a Marketing Events Manager to join our growing Marketing team. This is a unique opportunity for an early-career marketing professional to be involved in different aspects of marketing in a fast-growing start-up. You love getting stuff done and will ensure our marketing initiatives are moving forward by getting the attention they need to be successful. The ideal candidate has strong written, verbal, and presentation skills with a knack for corralling key players and communicating across multiple departments.
- You will collaborate with the marketing team on crafting comprehensive events and sponsorship strategies. You will help us strengthen our open-source community and increase our presence in the tech community.
- You'll manage the overall planning, logistics, budgeting, execution, and analysis of events. We believe each event that we are involved with should align with our company goals.
- You enjoy fostering collaboration between the marketing and sales teams and align the two on the process of lead generation and conversion. You measure overall return on investment of each event and make recommendations for future participation.
- You'll determine how to prioritize tech talks, community meetups, conferences, and hackathons and expand the scope of events as well.
- You will drive high levels of attendance to our events by submitting pitches, building landing pages, sending out invitations, coordinating registration, and creating email campaigns.
- In your first 30 days, you will assess where we are with our events and where we need to be. We believe that it's important for you to take this first month to become familiar with our technology and our company.
- After 3 months, you'll be fully integrated into the team. You will identify new event opportunities for the team and maintain a calendar of events so that everyone can stay on the same page. You'll create repeatable policies and procedures to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the events process.
- As our user base grows, you will also have the opportunity to grow the team to accommodate higher demands for support. We want people to have an excellent first impression of CockroachDB and that requires impactful events from you and the team.
You
- You enjoy managing a number of different events at once, from small local meetups to large, regional conferences.
- You love working on events in the technology industry, and you are interested in learning more about modern infrastructure.
- You love building relationships both internally and externally to find out about events, identify potential speakers, and discover partnership opportunities.
- You are comfortable working with multi-functional teams to plan and execute events.
- You enjoy traveling to events to see your plans come to fruition in-person and handle last-minute logistics.
