Senior Event Marketing Manager

Role Description

We're looking for a Contract Senior Event Marketing Manager to own and elevate how Listen shows up at events, from intimate dinners with researchers to our presence at various industry conferences. This is a high-ownership role for someone who loves the craft of bringing people together, sweats the operational details, and knows that a great event is felt long before and after the doors open.

You'll partner closely with marketing, sales, product, design, and leadership to make sure every event tells a coherent story and meaningfully moves our relationship with the research community forward.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end execution of Listen's presence at a slate of industry conferences over the contract period, including strategy, logistics, vendors, onsite, and follow-through.
• Design event experiences (sponsorships, dinners, side events, brand activations) that attract the right audience, generate genuine excitement, and leave a lasting impression.
• Partner cross-functionally with sales, product marketing, design, and leadership to ensure events ladder up to our broader campaigns and GTM goals.
• Manage the operational backbone, e.g. timelines, budgets, vendor relationships, swag, staffing, run-of-show, with a level of polish that makes everything look effortless.
• Capture learnings after each event and feed them back into how we plan the next one.

Qualifications

• 4+ years running B2B events, with a track record of owning events end-to-end.
• Strong project management instincts. You build the plan, hold the timeline, and don't let details slip.
• Comfortable in ambiguity and at a startup pace; happy to roll up your sleeves on the unglamorous parts.
• Excellent taste. You understand how events feel, not just how they run.
• Experience working alongside sales and marketing to drive pipeline and brand outcomes from events.
• Bonus: experience in B2B SaaS, with researcher / designer / PM audiences, or with research conferences specifically.

Requirements

• 4+ years running B2B events.
• Strong project management skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
• Experience in event design and execution.

Benefits

• Flexible work location.
• Competitive compensation of $60-75/hr.
• Potential to convert to full-time based on performance and business needs.
