At a glanceSummarised by Seekless from the posting.
5+ years running B2B events end-to-end, ideally at a technical or deeptech company selling to engineers
Have personally executed across the size spectrum — intimate executive dinners through 1,000+ attendee industry conferences — not just one format
Process-driven by instinct. You build the timeline, the run-of-show, the packing list, and the follow-up plan before anyone asks for them
Obsessive about detail. You have caught the wrong badge name, the missing power drop, and the demo laptop with the expired license — before the doors opened
High energy on-site and steady under pressure. Things break at events. You fix them without drama and without waiting for permission
Comfortable owning a budget and defending it: what an event cost, what it produced, and whether we do it again
Strong writing skills. Event invites, promotional copy, session descriptions, and follow-up emails should not need a rewrite
Strong with marketing systems — HubSpot and Salesforce — for registration, lists, and attribution
Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, and familiarity with events like NVIDIA GTC, AIAA or NAFEMS
Have launched an owned conference or user event from zero
Experience with export-controlled or cleared environments and the constraints they place on content and attendees
Background in field marketing or ABM, where the event is one motion inside a larger account plan
Comfort with production elements: AV, staging, video capture, and turning event content into post-event assets
Willing to travel roughly 25-40%, with heavier stretches during conference season

Own the calendar and the sequencing: which events, which audiences, which quarter, what we’re spending, and what we expect back
•
Design events for two audiences: technical engineers who want to see the technology and executives who want to see the business case — and make sure the content, format, and staffing match the audience
•

•
Determine our target account strategy: who we want in the room, how we get them there, and what happens in the 30 days after

Own event data in HubSpot: registration flows, attendance capture, lead routing, and attribution that survives a pipeline review

Be responsible for sales pipeline from events: Report on every event with rigor, including cost, attendance, meetings held, accounts engaged, pipeline influenced, and what to improve next time
