Deliver post-event analysis showing attendee data, qualified leads, and recommendations for next year's strategy
KPIs You'll Own

Is This Role For You?
- You've executed 15+ events annually and love the operational grind of logistics, vendor management, and on-the-ground execution
- You're comfortable owning budgets solo and can defend spend decisions to leadership with data and ROI
- You thrive in CPG/food or retail environments where trade shows and distributor relationships matter
- You're equally comfortable with creative (swag, branded materials) and analytical (lead tracking, ROI) work
- You want primarily remote or hybrid work-this is fully on-site in California with 3-5 events per year requiring 2-3 day travel
- You prefer strategic planning over tactical execution; this role is heavily operational (registration, vendor wrangling, inventory)
- You need equity or significant upside; this is a straight salary + bonus manager role at a large public company
