About the Role

Postman is looking for a Global Field Events Lead to drive pipeline growth and deepen relationships with our most important customers, prospects, and partners through high-impact global field events and executive engagement programs.

This role sits within Revenue Marketing and is focused on turning field events — flagship moments, executive summits, regional activations, and industry presence — into a reliable pipeline and retention engine across both product-led and sales-led growth motions. You'll own how Postman shows up to the executives, developer leaders, and partners who matter most to the business, and how every event moves deals forward.

We're looking for someone who thinks in terms of pipeline, retention, and executive trust — not registrations or stage time — and who knows how to build field event programs that compound over time and scale globally.

What You'll Do

Develop and execute a global field events strategy aligned to pipeline creation, retention, and revenue goals across SLG motions.

Set the annual events calendar, regional mix, and investment model — prioritizing where Postman shows up based on pipeline potential, audience intent, and deal impact, not brand visibility alone.

• ABM event plays targeting priority enterprise accounts
• Pre- and post-event content and digital amplification that extends each moment well beyond the day
• Executive content and storytelling tied to event programming and partner moments
• Press, social, and analyst engagement integrated into flagship events

Ensure every field event investment supports the full funnel — from first executive conversation to deal acceleration to renewal.

Work closely with regional sales leaders and CS to:

• Build event strategies aligned to territory plans, target account lists, and active opportunities
• Design account-specific field plays that create and accelerate pipeline at named accounts

Own KPIs tied to sourced and influenced pipeline, executive engagement quality, and program efficiency — not just attendee counts.

Track and report on the full field events funnel: registration → attendance → MQLs → opportunity → pipeline and revenue impact.

Manage a significant global budget with discipline and creative leverage.
