Job Description

Sr. Field Marketing Manager managing North America field events for Parchment's higher education segment. Develops strategy, manages budgets, and collaborates with sales and marketing teams.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the North America field events strategy for Parchment's higher education segment, including trade show sponsorships, owned events, and webinars
  • Evaluate and prioritize the events portfolio based on pipeline potential, audience fit, and business goals — and make the case for where we invest and where we don't
  • Manage all vendor relationships end-to-end: booth designers, swag companies, venues, A/V, and other suppliers — negotiating contracts and holding partners accountable to timelines and quality
  • Lead event planning from kickoff to close: project timelines, budget tracking, campaign setup, list uploads, on-site execution, and post-event reporting
  • Develop event and campaign briefs that connect tactics to outcomes, not just logistics
  • Define success metrics for each event before it happens and report on results after — pipeline influenced, meetings booked, leads generated
  • Partner with sales, SDRs, and product marketing to align on goals, coordinate pre- and post-event follow-up, and drive outcomes beyond the event floor
  • Manage all operational and administrative functions: pre-event planning meetings, stakeholder communication, materials ordering, and Salesforce campaign tracking
  • Bring post-event retrospectives with real recommendations — not just recaps
  • Represent the events program in planning conversations with marketing and sales leadership, and proactively flag risks, gaps, or opportunities

Requirements:

  • Five or more years of experience in field events marketing, preferably in B2B SaaS or the higher education sector
  • Demonstrated ability to manage a complex events portfolio independently, from strategy through execution
  • Experience managing budgets, vendor contracts, and external partners — booth designers, swag suppliers, venues, and more
  • A track record of tying event investment to pipeline metrics and reporting outcomes to senior stakeholders
  • Proficiency in Asana, Google Suite, and Salesforce
  • Strong project management skills — you handle multiple events in different stages simultaneously without losing the thread
  • Comfort with significant US travel for on-site event support
  • Kindness, a sense of humor, and the kind of attention to detail that catches things before they go sideways

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation, plus all full-time employees participate in our ownership program - because everyone should have a stake in our success.
  • Flexible work culture. Our remote, hybrid and in-office collaboration spaces vary by role, team and location.
  • Generous time off, including local holidays and our annual “Dim the Lights” period in late December, when teams are encouraged to step back and recharge based on departmental needs.
  • Comprehensive wellness programs and mental health support
  • Learning and development resources, including professional development tools and tuition reimbursement, to support your growth
  • The technology and tools you need to do your best work
  • Motivosity employee recognition program
  • A culture rooted in inclusivity, support, and meaningful connection
