  • Serve as the primary marketing partner for regional sales teams, ensuring every program is built around territory plans, target accounts, and quarterly pipeline goals, with clear attendee recruitment strategies and coordinated follow-up plans in place before launch.
  • Own budget management across all regional programs, tracking spend, ensuring proper allocation, and maximizing impact per dollar invested.
  • Monitor and report on program performance across pipeline sourced and influenced, lead generation, conversion rates, and influenced ARR, partnering with RevOps to maintain clean attribution and continuously improve program effectiveness.


What You Bring

  • 4+ years of experience in B2B field marketing, events, or regional marketing, ideally in cybersecurity or enterprise technology, with a track record of planning and executing programs that generate and accelerate pipeline.
  • Hands-on experience planning and managing a range of field programs including trade shows, executive dinners, roundtables, and regional events, with strong attention to logistics, attendee experience, and post-event follow-through.

  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to run multiple programs simultaneously, manage vendors and budgets, and keep every initiative on track without losing attention to detail.
  • Exceptional written communication skills, including the ability to write compelling event invitations, pre-event outreach, and post-event follow-up copy that drives engagement and response.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 25-30% for regional events and meetings.
