You’ll partner closely with Sales, Business Development, and Marketing leadership to identify where we should show up, what experiences we should create, and how to turn every activation into pipeline growth and brand visibility.

  • Identify and secure speaking opportunities. Build visibility for our subject matter experts by aligning panels, presentations, and thought leadership with our business priorities.

  • Measure performance. Track leads, meetings booked, and opportunities generated from each event through to revenue. Deliver clear ROI reporting and insights to improve future activations.

  • Manage the events budget. Forecast, track, and optimize spend to maximize impact and efficiency.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with Sales and Business Development to align pre- and post-event outreach, nurture campaigns, and follow-up workflows.

  • Thought Leadership Visibility: Secure a steady cadence of speaking engagements and high-profile placements for Mindgrub leaders.

  • Operational Excellence: Events are delivered on time, on budget, and with strong stakeholder satisfaction scores.

  • Portfolio Optimization: You continuously refine the event mix, eliminating low-performing investments and scaling what works.

What You’ll Bring

  • 7+ years of experience in event management or experiential marketing, preferably in B2B tech, digital services, or agency environments.
  • Proven success managing end-to-end event strategy, from ideation and vendor selection to execution and post-event ROI reporting.
  • Deep understanding of how events drive business results and integrate into a larger marketing and sales strategy.
  • Strong budget management, organizational, and prioritization skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working with executives, partners, and clients alike.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
