- Own on-site execution alongside the Sr. Director of Field Marketing & Corporate Events: booth setup, registration, signage placement, demos/materials, and “last-mile” details
- Capture what worked (and what didn’t) after each event and help codify best practices into repeatable playbooks

- Use AI tools (including Glean) to speed up research, brief creation, outreach lists, and recap docs, in line with how the marketing team operates

- Experience with core GTM tools (some combination of Salesforce, HubSpot/Marketo, Asana or similar, and an event platform like Cvent, Splash, or comparable tools)
