Field Marketing Manager, West Coast Corridor

What You'll Do

• Own the West Coast market pod's event calendar, planning and executing meetups, community events, tradeshows, and partner activations, prioritizing San Diego and LA, with expansion across the broader corridor.
• Represent GovDash at GovCon associations, networking groups, and ecosystem events, with primary focus on San Diego and Los Angeles, and periodic presence across the broader corridor (Bay Area, Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Denver, Seattle).
• Build and maintain relationships with organizers, partners, and industry leaders.
• Own event logistics end-to-end: venues, vendors, budgets, shipping, timelines.
• Capture and edit short-form video content for LinkedIn and field campaigns.
• Partner tightly with the West Coast pod AEs and SDRs on account targeting, event outreach, and post-event follow-ups to drive pipeline conversion.
• Surface West Coast market insights, competitive signals, and community feedback to inform GovDash's broader GTM strategy.
• Support cross-functional marketing needs (webinars, campaigns, research, content).

What You'll Bring

• 3-6 years experience in events, community, partnerships, demand gen, or another cross-functional GTM/operations role.
• Deep roots in the San Diego GovCon ecosystem with existing relationships across the local defense and contractor community; familiarity with the LA market strongly preferred. Broader West Coast corridor experience (Bay Area, Phoenix, Colorado Springs, Denver, Seattle) is a plus.

• Strong collaboration with Sales and SDR teams.
• Willingness to travel regularly within Southern California and periodically across the broader West Coast corridor; thrives in dynamic, in-person environments.
