Is This Role For You?
- You've built field marketing programs from scratch in B2B SaaS or enterprise tech-not inherited, built
- You thrive in startup chaos: 5+ events at different stages simultaneously, zero dropped balls, spreadsheets are your love language
- You're a scrappy ops person who negotiates vendor contracts, manages budgets, and sweat-equities when needed-no diva energy
- You obsess over metrics and ROI; you use data to prove what works and kill what doesn't; reporting is your superpower
- You move fast and love cross-functional collaboration; BDRs, Sales, Product, and Design all trust you to execute and deliver
- You've only inherited mature event calendars; you need to have *built* programs from zero
- You hate spreadsheets, timelines, or vendor negotiation; ops and logistics bore you
- You're uncomfortable with travel or on-site execution; this role requires boots on the ground at events across the US
- You need heavy process and approval workflows; startup speed and autonomy will frustrate you

Final round with founder or exec sponsor; culture fit, vision alignment, and scrappiness assessment.
