Event Marketing Manager, Trade Shows & Sponsorships - Retail

Event Marketing Manager, Trade Shows & Sponsorships - Retail New York TITLE: Event Marketing Manager, Trade Shows & Sponsorships - Retail REPORTS TO: Experiential Marketing Manager Who is Flip? There are 3 runaway categories in B2B AI — coding, legal, and customer support. We're at the center of the third, with a one-of-one market position and hundreds of diehard fan clients, from Under Armour to Tory Burch to some of the largest healthcare institutions in the country. The market is dividing into two camps: generic tooling-and-FDE players building custom agents from scratch, and industry-specific solutions winning on client love due to speed of ROI. We’re firmly the latter. Retail and healthcare alone represent $5B+ TAMs each, and we’re still early. We built the company on a simple idea: the best way to grow is to have a reference list as long as your customer list. We’re a team of 100+ now, with offices in NYC, LA, and the UK. Many people here will tell you it’s the best place they’ve worked and the hardest they’ve worked. Both are true. What You’ll Own Events are one of the biggest ways we grow across the three industries we serve — retail, healthcare, and transportation. From major trade shows and conferences to client experiences (Flippin' Legends), brand activations, and internal company events, you’ll own Flip’s event presence end to end. You know the B2B trade show world inside and out, love planning the work and working the plan, and hold everyone around you to the same standard.

On-site execution & team leadership.Lead the team on the ground at every event. Manage setup, staffing, scheduling, and real-time problem solving. Ensure every detail is executed to plan and the Flip team is set up to have meaningful conversations and capture every lead.
