Marketing Events Manager

About Volta Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds. About The Role Volta is scaling its event presence fast – from major industry stages to a small number of far more targeted conversations with the anchor accounts we’re pursuing. This role owns that calendar end to end – strategy, budget, and vendor accountability – so our executives walk into every room prepared and come out of it with a real next step, not just a good conversation. You’ll report to our Director of Marketing and be Volta’s first dedicated events hire – converting the attention we’ve built since launch, and the fixed timeline of our flagship events, into pipeline from day one. This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives on managing logistics, budgets, and details while keeping the big picture in mind. What You Will Be Doing Event Strategy & Ownership Own the 12-month event calendar – logistics, sponsorships, speaking submissions, and booth strategy. Lead planning for our flagship-tier events, including major industry conferences and capstone moments on the calendar. Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to define event goals, target audiences, and success metrics before each event, not just report results after the fact. Stay current on industry event trends and formats to keep Volta’s presence fresh and competitive. Manage swag, collateral, and booth assets consistent with Volta’s brand guidelines. Vendor & Partner Management Build and manage relationships with venues, event-production vendors, and broader industry partners. Own the events budget – vendor negotiation, sponsorship-tier decisions, and cost tracking. On-Site Execution & Pipeline Impact Own on-site execution – staffing, signage, and attendee experience – working directly alongside any contracted event-production support, not delegating it away. Convert event presence into real pipeline for our leadership team’s small number of sequenced, high-value conversations – this is a targeted-relationship motion, not a volume one. Coordinate executive logistics for speaking engagements – briefing prep, talk-track alignment, and on-site support for our leadership team. Own post-event lead capture and handoff for nurture. Report event performance, pipeline impact, and ROI back into our broader marketing plan. What You Bring 5+ years in B2B tech field marketing or events, ideally within infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise SaaS. Experience managing external event-production agencies or execution vendors – holding them accountable for delivery while owning strategy in-house. A track record owning sponsorship negotiations and event budgets at meaningful scale.
