New York, NYSales EnablementOnsite6+ YOE
Summary

Lead end-to-end execution of strategic events including executive summits and community meetups. Own strategy, content agendas, stakeholder coordination, budgets, and ROI reporting for large-scale B2B programs.

About the role

Event strategy & program ownership

  • Help define the strategic objectives, target audience, and success metrics for events, including executive Summits and community meetups, ensuring every program has a clear business case and measurable ROI.
  • Own event-level KPIs and deliver results reporting to senior stakeholders after each program.

Content & agenda development

  • Lead agenda-setting for each event: define session structure, content themes and narrative arc to ensure sessions build on each other and tell one coherent story.
  • Partner with Product Marketing, R&D, and GTM to shape session content and align on key messages that will inform the agenda.
  • Own content development, including hard deadlines, content schedules, speaker prep programs and structured dry runs.
  • Manage speaker logistics pre-event and during the live event.
  • Develop a strategy for extending event content pre- and post-event: promotion, post-event distribution, PMM/enablement integration, etc.

Stakeholder management & cross-functional coordination

  • Lead a cross-functional working group across Marketing, GTM, R&D, and executive leadership — driving alignment on goals, timelines, and ownership.
  • Partner with the Client Advocacy team to identify and onboard client speakers, weaving authentic client voices throughout each program.

Execution & experience

  • Oversee end-to-end execution of events: venue, A/V, run of show, vendor management, on-site logistics and attendee experience.
  • Design the attendee journey holistically — from pre-event communication to on-site flow and post-event follow-up.
  • Build and manage event budgets.
  • Travel to key events multiple times per year — primarily domestically, with occasional international travel for global events.

Who You Are

  • 6+ years in Client Marketing, Events, or a closely related field — with direct ownership of large-scale, multi-stakeholder events from strategy through measurement.
  • Proven track record defining event strategy, building content agendas, and reporting ROI to senior leadership.
  • Experience in B2B tech or financial services preferred; familiarity with wealth management, fintech, or enterprise SaaS a plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and manage event budgets with accountability for outcomes.
  • Strong program manager: you can hold cross-functional teams accountable, manage competing priorities, and keep complex programs on track without losing the details.
  • Excellent written and verbal communicator; able to turn ambiguous goals into clear briefs, project plans, and stakeholder updates.
