Senior Marketing Events Manager (Temp-to-Hire)

• 8+ years in B2B field marketing, demand generation, or event management for a tech company — with hands-on ownership of both strategy and execution. 
• Generalist field marketing skill set — you've driven pipeline through trade shows, roadshows, executive events, ABM programs, and integrated digital campaigns. 
• Tight sales alignment experience — you've worked directly with AEs and BDRs on account targeting, pre-event outreach, and post-event follow-up to convert pipeline. 
• Hands-on experience managing trade show exhibitor portals (Freeman, Cvent, Experient, or similar) — deadlines, forms, and fine print included. 
• Proven track record executing events end to end without a large team; 0-to-1 builder DNA with operational rigor to match. 
• Superior organizational skills — detailed trackers, zero missed deadlines, five workstreams in the air without dropping one. 
• Strong vendor management and budgeting skills with a negotiate-like-it's-your-own-money mindset. 
• Comfortable with executives, technical SMEs, and government stakeholders; polished on-site presence. 
• Fully available for significant travel, long hours, evenings, and weekends — non-negotiable. 

• Direct public sector field marketing experience — you've built and run programs targeting federal agencies, defense, or national security audiences as a primary segment, not as an occasional add-on. 
• Familiarity with government procurement cycles, ethics rules, and acquisition norms that shape how you design and execute public sector programs. 
• Background in industrial edge, energy, space, enterprise infrastructure, or AI/ML tech. 
• Experience building event playbooks, ROI dashboards, and scalable field marketing processes from scratch. 
• Existing relationships within public sector associations, systems integrators, or the defense ecosystem. 
• Proficiency with virtual event platforms or hybrid event production. 
• Ability to set up lightweight AV or demo environments on site. 

• A go-getter with a growth mindset. You're intellectually curious, have strong business acumen, and actively seek opportunities to build relevant skills and knowledge 
• A detail-oriented problem-solver. You can independently gather information, solve problems efficiently, and deliver results with a "get-it-done" attitude 
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment. You're energized by an entrepreneurial spirit, capable of working quickly, and excited to contribute to a growing company
• A collaborative team player. You focus on business success and are motivated by team accomplishment vs personal agenda 
• Highly organized and results-driven. Strong prioritization skills and a dedicated work ethic are essential for you
