About the role

Senior Field Marketing Manager Manhattan, NYHybrid (3 days in office)

About the Company: Our client is a fast-growing company leading the AI web search category. Their products are used by leading businesses in financial services, retail, market intelligence, and coding to build best-in-class AI agents with accurate, auditable programmatic access to the web. The company has raised over $70 million from top-tier investors and works with hundreds of enterprise customers. They are forming a world-class team of engineers, researchers, designers, marketers, sellers, and operational experts to achieve their mission.

Why This Role Matters:

Events are where the company shows up — in front of the developers, executives, and enterprises shaping the future of AI. This role owns that presence end to end. If you want to build something visible, high-impact, and lasting, this role has real leverage.
How the Team Works
Clarity, ownership, and trust
Moving fast, while caring about sustainability
Leaders who think, not just execute
A belief that great systems enable great people

About the Role: We're seeking a Senior Field Marketing Manager to own the company's presence in the field — planning, logistics, on-site execution, and follow-up across industry conferences, regional summits, developer hackathons and meetups (with the Ecosystem team), and ABM and customer events. You'll be the connective tissue between Marketing, Ecosystem, Sales, and leadership, and you'll run it with real autonomy — no coordinator behind you — backed by a data-driven mindset to prove what each event delivers.

What You'll Be Doing:

You'll own the company's presence in the field — the event engine that puts them in front of the AI engineers who build on their product and the enterprise buyers who sign.
Strategy & BudgetDecide which events to invest in, how to show up, and which ones to walk away from
Own the annual calendar — conferences, hackathons and meetups, regional summits, executive dinners, and partner co-marketing activations
Own the budget end to end, including sponsorship and vendor negotiation
Leverage existing and build new relationships with partners to amplify presence at events
ExecutionOwn venue, contracts, run-of-show, speaking slots, and booth
Design the programming — not just the venue — that makes a dinner worth the room's evening
Brief executives and sellers so everyone arrives with the same story
Be the decision-maker on-site, solo, when something breaks
PipelineBuild target lists with Sales before every event
Run the follow-up motion afterward, so no lead dies in a spreadsheet
Partner with Ecosystem on hackathons and meetups, where a working demo earns more trust than a booth
MeasurementReport ROI per event to leadership — meetings and pipeline, not badge scans
Kill formats that don't convert — three events that produce pipeline beat ten that produce photos
Bring a real point of view on events into GTM planning
What You Should Have for the Role
Experience & Skills 4+ years managing events at a high-growth B2B tech company (AI/data space strongly preferred)
Existing relationships across both enterprise and AI-native technical companies — deep connections in SF or NY a strong plus
Demonstrated success planning both developer-focused events (hackathons, meetups, technical conferences) and executive-level events (dinners, summits, customer gatherings)
Proven ownership of the full event lifecycle — planning, pre-event logistics, on-site execution, and post-event follow-upStrong vendor management, budgeting, and negotiation skills
Data-driven approach to events: comfortable defining metrics, tracking ROI, and reporting results to senior management
Experience supporting large industry events and regional summits
How You WorkYou're highly organized and can juggle multiple events and stakeholders without dropping a ball
You bring creativity to every event — you don't default to the obvious playbook, and you've hosted a dinner where the programming, not the venue, made the room worth everyone's evening
You operate with autonomy and take ownership from first idea to final follow-up email, with minimal dependency on others
You communicate clearly with both executives and cross-functional teams — and treat the sales handoff as your job, not someone else'sYou stay calm when something breaks day-ofYou talk about your events in pipeline, not attendance

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
