About the role
We're a technology consultancy working in cloud, data, and AI. We're hiring a Field Marketing Specialist to own our event calendar, run marketing campaigns that support it, and build our presence in markets across the United States.
This is a hands-on, execution-first role. You won't be sitting in strategy meetings all day — you'll be booking venues, chasing RSVPs, writing follow-up emails, and standing at the booth. What you'll get in return is an unusual starting point for a marketing career: real fluency in how technology, data, and AI services get marketed and sold to enterprise buyers. That's a specialized and well-paid corner of the field, and most marketers don't reach it until years in.
What you'll doEvent planning and execution- Own our national event calendar end to end: industry conferences, executive roundtables, customer lunch-and-learns, webinars, and regional meetups in markets across the US.
- Handle all logistics — venue, catering, AV, booth space, shipping, signage, giveaways, badge scanning, staffing schedules, and run-of-show.
- Manage invitation and registration campaigns, RSVP tracking, reminder sequences, and post-event follow-up.
- Track event budgets against approved spend, reconcile invoices, and report cost-per-lead and cost-per-attendee.
- Travel to events nationally — roughly 25–35%, including overnight and multi-day trips.
Campaign and marketing support- Draft and schedule marketing emails, landing pages, and social posts supporting events and campaigns.
- Keep our CRM and marketing lists clean: import event leads, tag sources, and route qualified contacts to sales on a defined SLA.
- Maintain the marketing asset library — case studies, one-pagers, slides, and collateral.
- Pull monthly reporting on campaign and event performance.
Partner and community marketing- Coordinate co-marketing activity with our technology partners, including joint events, co-branded campaigns, and partner-funded marketing programs.
- Build relationships with tech, cloud, data, and AI communities in our key markets — user groups, meetups, chambers of commerce, and industry associations.
- Identify sponsorship and speaking opportunities and coordinate our participation.
- Support our leaders and engineers in preparing to speak, sponsor, or exhibit.
What we're looking forRequired
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
- 0–2 years of marketing, events, or coordination experience. Internships, campus organizations, agency work, and hospitality or event experience all count.
- Genuinely strong organizational skills. This role runs many small deadlines at once, and dropped details are visible to customers.
- Clear, professional written and verbal communication — you'll be emailing customers, vendors, and partners directly.
- Comfortable with spreadsheets, calendars, and standard business software; able to pick up new tools quickly.
- Based in or willing to relocate to the Fort Mill, SC area, with a valid driver's license and the ability to travel regularly across the US, including evening events and overnight stays.
Nice to have — not required, we will teach you these
- Familiarity with cloud services, data platforms, or AI/ML concepts.
- Experience with a CRM or marketing automation platform (HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Mailchimp).
- Basic design skills in Canva, Figma, or the Adobe suite.
- Experience coordinating events, trade shows, or conferences.
Who does well here
- You follow up without being reminded.
- You're comfortable being the youngest person in a room full of executives and engineers.
- You can run an event in an unfamiliar city without needing someone on site with you.
- You'd rather ask a question early than guess and redo the work.
- You're curious about technology and willing to learn enough about cloud, data, and AI to market them credibly.
