Event & Field Marketing Manager
Job type: Full Time · Department: Marketing, Sales, Partnerships · Work type: Hybrid
Tempe, Arizona, United States
Trainual is hiring an Event & Field Marketing Manager to help scale our growing event portfolio — from the planning stages all the way through onsite execution and pipeline generation. This is a high-ownership role for someone who genuinely thrives in live environments, loves starting conversations with strangers, and knows how to turn a booth moment into a booked meeting.
Once you're ramped, you'll own regional events end-to-end — the planning, the logistics, the onsite execution, and the follow-through. You're the one person on the ground making it all work, and you wouldn't have it any other way.
You're an operator who loves the energy of live events.
You don't just show up — you show up prepared, energized, and ready to drive momentum.
Logistics, timelines, and vendor wrangling don't stress you out. They're your natural habitat.
You treat every event like a revenue opportunity, not a calendar obligation.
You know how to work a room — and a pipeline.
You can qualify a lead in a five-minute conversation and know exactly what to do next.
You give a sharp product overview without a script and without breaking a sweat.
You close for meetings the way good salespeople close for signatures — with confidence and a clear next step.
You're as good at the follow-through as you are at the setup.
You capture clean data, hand off to Sales without friction, and care about what happens after the event ends.
You bring insights back to the team and use them to make the next event better.
You're building a playbook, not just checking boxes.
You're personally accountable to lead-to-demo conversion and event-sourced pipeline ROI — and you treat those numbers like your own.

The ability to learn a product fast — and speak about it confidently in a live environment
A sales-oriented mindset — you can spot a high-intent prospect, qualify in real time, and drive meaningful next steps

You'll report to our Manager of Events + Experiential Marketing, Jade Bunda and work alongside our Event & Sponsorships Manager. This is a collaborative, high performing team that cares deeply about doing events well — not just doing more of them.
Events don't run on a 9-to-5. This role requires flexibility to work early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends based on the event calendar. We trust you to manage your time well — and we'll do the same on our end.
This role requires regular travel, approximately 50% of the time. You'll be on-site at regional and partner events across the country, which means flights, hotels, and the occasional early alarm clock are part of the deal. You're equally comfortable hitting the road solo or working alongside Sales, Marketing, and Events teammates — and you show up the same either way. If that sounds energizing to you, you're probably our person.
This role involves extended periods of standing and engaging with attendees on the event floor, as well as lifting and transporting event materials and booth equipment (up to 50 lbs). We want to make sure anyone stepping into this role feels set up for success physically, not just professionally. We're committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals who need them.
If you're the kind of person who does pre-event research on a Sunday, owns the booth like you built the product, and debriefs the team before the flight home — we'd love to meet you.
