Field Marketing Manager

About Atakama

Atakama is an MSP-first, channel-only browser security company. Businesses have secured everything except the browser, where work actually happens. Atakama turns the browsers people already use into secure, fully managed workspaces, with visibility and control over every extension, every website and every AI prompt. One console covers DNS filtering, data loss prevention, credential monitoring, AI visibility and control, and user analytics, closing the gaps that endpoint tools miss.

The role

The Field Marketing Manager owns Atakama's events program end to end, from event selection to pipeline and revenue. You'll run our presence at conferences and regional shows, and build our own dinners, workshops, roundtables, peer groups and virtual events. Atakama attends 100+ events annually; you’ll be expected to travel a significant portion of the year. You'll lead a team of field marketing associates, present on stage, and set goals and budget with the VP of Marketing.
