• Support on-site activity by assisting with booth lead capture, coordinating scheduled meetings, and ensuring accurate Salesforce tagging.
• Post-event, follow up with attendees to nurture leads and transition qualified opportunities to Sales.

Marketing Campaign Alignment

• Track event leads' engagement with marketing campaigns (emails, webinars, nurture tracks) and ensure Sales visibility.

• Provide feedback to Marketing on which campaigns, events, and messages generate the highest quality leads.

Analytics & Reporting

• Support event ROI measurement by tracking leads generated, meetings booked, and pipeline created.

• Capture anecdotal customer and prospect feedback from events to inform product positioning and marketing messaging.

About you:
