This hybrid events marketing + SDR role turns industry conferences into pipeline. You will own pre-event prospecting, onsite engagement, and post-event follow-up to drive sales accepted leads (SALs) and booked meetings. You’ll coordinate logistics, manage booth operations, support leadership speaking opportunities, and execute targeted outreach (email + cold calling) to convert event interest into meetings and pipeline.

What You’ll Do

Pre‑Event: Prospecting & Planning (≈30%)

  • Build targeted ICP account and contact lists; craft multichannel sequences (email/call/LI) to pre‑book meetings.
  • Coordinate end‑to‑end event logistics: registrations, booth & AV, shipping, swag, collateral, scanners, vendor management, sponsorship deliverables, and travel.
  • Partner with Marketing & Sales to align event offers, messaging, demos, and success criteria.
  • Support speaker submissions and prep: abstracts, slides, demo run‑throughs, and AV checks.

Onsite: Execution & Engagement (≈40%)

  • Run booth operations and scanning workflows; deliver crisp positioning and product demos tailored to buyer personas.
  • Qualify conversations live, capture structured notes, and set meetings onsite where possible.
  • Support leadership during speaking engagements (briefing docs, timing, Q&A capture).

Post‑Event: Conversion & Reporting (≈30%)

  • Execute rapid follow‑ups (within 24–48 hours) to convert MQLs → SALs → scheduled meetings; ensure clean CRM handoff to AEs.
  • Produce event recaps (goals vs. actuals, pipeline attribution, lessons learned) and iterate the playbook.
  • Maintain accurate CRM hygiene, campaign attribution, and list health.

Basic Qualifications

  • 1–3 years in events/field marketing, conference coordination, and/or SDR/BDR experience.
  • Demonstrated success booking meetings via cold outreach (email + phone) and at events.
  • Strong project management and vendor coordination skills; comfortable working event hours.
  • Proficient with CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce) and sequencing tools (Outreach, Salesloft, or Apollo).
  • Clear, concise communicator; confident engaging prospects on the floor and on the phone.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with industrial/manufacturing supply chain audiences.
  • Experience supporting executives for conference talks (briefs, run‑of‑show, rehearsals).
  • Light design skills (Slides/Canva) and hands‑on booth/demo setup.

Tools You’ll Use

HubSpot/Salesforce, Outreach/Salesloft/Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator/ZoomInfo, Google Workspace, Canva/Slides, Slack/Notion, and event platforms (e.g., Cvent/Badge scanners).

Success Metrics (KPIs)

  • SALs sourced per event and first meetings booked; meeting show rate.
  • Pipeline dollars attributed; cost per SAL; time‑to‑first‑touch post‑event.
  • CRM data completeness and attribution accuracy; execution vs. event plan (budget, logistics, deadlines).

Security & Compliance

Follow Leverage security standards for data handling (e.g., badge scan data, PII), device access at events, and CRM permissions. Report incidents promptly and support audit needs.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Salary: $80,000–$90,000 DOE & location.
  • Commission: Uncapped*, tied to Sales Accepted Leads (SALs and meetings sourced, with accelerators for outperforming plan.
