Field Marketing Manager

Boston, MA

About Us:

The wholesale distribution industry is ready for a revolution, and Proton is leading the charge. The world relies on distributors to sell nearly every physical product, but despite its massive contribution to the global economy, this industry has been left behind in terms of technology. Proton is changing that. With AI-powered sales software, we’re breaking through the complexity of selling millions of products and making it easier for distributors to anticipate customer needs. Our mission is to bring the distribution industry into the modern age and the results speak for themselves. Distributors using Proton see 10x ROI, faster new hire ramp-up, and happier sales teams.

In 2022, we raised a $20M Series A backed by Felicis Ventures (investors in Twitch, Shopify, Opendoor, and many others) and Battery Ventures. This year, we’re laser-focused on driving customer growth. If you’re excited about the opportunity to wear multiple hats, and continuously learn and experiment, now’s the time to join the Proton team.

Job description

2026 is a big year for Proton—and events are at the heart of how we grow. We’re doubling down on field marketing to drive pipeline, deepen customer relationships, and make a lasting impression in the market.

That’s where you come in. As our Field Marketer, you won’t just be booking booths and printing badges. You’ll be the force behind 20+ high-impact events a year—from major trade shows to intimate customer dinners. Your work will shape how prospects first experience Proton and how customers deepen their connection with our brand.

Reporting to the Head of Marketing, you’ll work cross-functionally to turn every event into real pipeline. You’ll have the autonomy to own strategy and execution—testing new formats, optimizing what works, and building a playbook others will follow.

If you thrive on running the show, obsess over the details, and get a rush from seeing your work drive real results, this role is for you. This will be a hybrid role with 3 days per week at our Harvard Square office. The OTE for this role is 110k.

What you’ll do:

Plan and execute standout events: Own end-to-end logistics for 20+ events a year, including industry conferences, trade shows, and intimate dinners. You’ll handle everything from selecting which events we attend to securing sponsorships, coordinating booth materials, and managing on-site execution. Whether it’s a packed expo floor or an intimate dinner, you’ll ensure we show up with purpose—and leave with follow-up meetings.

Drive pipeline and optimize performance: Set clear goals for every event and track what moves the needle. You’ll ensure leads are captured and followed up on, analyze ROI, and report back on results. Your job is to constantly learn, test, and refine our playbook—so we’re always improving how we generate high-quality pipeline from events.

Identify and evaluate event opportunities: Research and recommend new conferences, sponsorships, and speaking engagements that can elevate Proton’s brand and connect us with the right audience.

Enable the team and run tight field ops: Make sure reps are prepped and ready to prospect. Coordinate booth shipments, manage event logistics, and be on the ground to troubleshoot, support the team, and make sure every event runs smoothly.

Build a tailored playbook for every event: Every event is different—and it’s your job to crack the code. You’ll figure out what optimal booth placement looks like, how each event runs, and what it takes to stand out. Your job is to make sure we show up prepared, leave with the most meetings possible, and improve with every event.

Who you are:

  • You have 2–3 years of event planning experience and know what it takes to make them successful. Experience in B2B software or SaaS marketing is a plus.
  • You’re a strong project manager. You can juggle multiple projects, venues, vendors, and timelines without missing a beat. You’re highly organized and detail-oriented.
  • You’re a clear communicator. You can negotiate with partners, and keep teams in the loop. You’re comfortable interacting with customers, prospects, and execs at events.
  • You take ownership and collaborate well. You bring others along and align cross-functional teams. You take initiative and see programs through from idea to execution.
  • You’re resourceful and calm under pressure. You know how to troubleshoot when things go sideways—which they often do at live events.
  • You’re ready to travel. You’re excited by the idea of being on the road. You’re open to traveling across North America ~30–40% of the time.
  • You’re tech savvy. You’ve used tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, or Outreach. You’re comfortable navigating CRMs and marketing systems to manage leads and coordinate follow-up.

Benefits:

  • Competitive Salaries + Company Stock Options - we want to pay you well (and equitably!) and make you feel like an owner.  
  • Flexible Schedule - we think high levels of autonomy, responsibility, and working asynchronously foster an amazing workplace.
  • Biannual Company Paid Off-sites - time for us to be together, brainstorm, and make magic happen.

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.
