- Drive event performance and lead generation, establishing goals and measurement frameworks and using Salesforce/Marketo to track attendance quality, MQL/SQL conversion, pipeline influence, ROI, and other key KPIs. Build event-specific reporting and dashboards and communicate results and recommendations to leadership.
- Own the event program budget and operations, including event-level cost tracking, financial reporting, forecasting, and budget recommendations. Maintain the master event calendar, Jira workflows, marketing asset warehouse, and other program infrastructure.
- Manage event materials and logistics infrastructure, including marketing swag development, ordering, fulfillment, and inventory, as well as event and ad hoc marketing shipping requirements.
