Event Marketing Manager

Job Summary

We're looking for an Event Marketing Manager who doesn't simply execute someone else's ideas. We want someone who brings them.

This role is ideal for someone who naturally thinks, "Here's what we should do," rather than, "Tell me what you want me to do." You'll take ownership of the entire event lifecycle, from concept and strategy through execution and post-event analysis, while using Salesforce to track, measure, and improve results.

Salesforce experience is essential for success in this role.

This role offers the chance to work in a professional, collaborative environment with supportive leadership, strong cross-functional partnership, and meaningful visibility across marketing and business leadership. The ideal candidate will thrive in a team-oriented culture that values initiative, organization, creativity, and measurable impact.

- Own the full event lifecycle, including concept development, planning, budgeting, logistics, promotion, execution, and post-event analysis.
- Plan and manage educational seminars, client appreciation events, workshops, community outreach initiatives, and other client-facing programs.
- Coordinate vendors, venues, speakers, sponsorships, timelines, event materials, and on-site logistics.
- Partner with marketing and leadership teams to align event strategy with business goals and audience needs.
- Measure event performance, including attendance, engagement, appointments generated, attendee experience, and overall ROI.

Required Qualifications

- 5+ years of event marketing or event management experience.

- Experience developing event concepts and strategies from the ground up.

- Experience measuring event success using data and ROI.

- Strong project management and organizational skills.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to manage multiple events and priorities simultaneously.
