About Toro TMS 

We are Toro TMS, a growth-stage startup building the modern operating system for trucking. Our mission is to deliver best-in-class, end-to-end transportation management software (TMS) for bulk commodity haulers. 

About the Role

As our Events Marketing Manager, you will own how Toro shows up in the market, in the industry, and online. You'll own Toro's full event strategy: from industry conferences to webinars to community dinners.

This is a creative, high-ownership role for someone who is equally comfortable writing a customer story, staffing a booth at a conference, and filming a video testimonial with a customer in the field.

Responsibilities

  • Own and execute Toro's end-to-end event marketing strategy, including trade shows, industry conferences, customer events, field marketing, and virtual/hybrid formats.
  • Build and manage the annual events calendar, prioritizing high-impact opportunities aligned to pipeline and revenue goals.
  • Lead all event logistics: venue sourcing, vendor management, booth design, swag, staffing, and on-site execution.
  • Track and report on event performance metrics (pipeline influenced, leads generated, cost per opportunity, ROI) and use data to optimize the program.

Skills / Experience

  • 4+ years of event marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, logistics, supply chain, or a high-growth startup
  • Proven track record owning events end-to-end — from strategy through post-event reporting
  • Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines simultaneously
  • Experience partnering with Sales teams to align event and content programming with pipeline goals
  • Data-driven mindset: comfortable defining success metrics, pulling reports, and communicating event ROI
  • Excellent communicator — written, verbal, and cross-functional
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure
  • Willingness to travel for on-site event execution

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Unlimited PTO
  • 401(k) managed by Empower

Compensation Range: $130,000 - $150,000 On Target Earnings (OTE)

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
