As our first Event Marketing Manager, you’ll be responsible for delivering top-notch, one-off experiences while simultaneously building a long-view program and creating guidelines and templates for other stakeholders (“events in a box”). Your work will range from tentpole industry events and large-scale trade shows to field events and owned experiences. From day one, you’ll have the support of an event producer, a full creative team, and the option to augment your team with outside resources. We have a track record of hiring visionary marketers and trusting them to figure it out. Your mandate won’t be spelled out. We’re looking for you to show us how it’s done.

- Concept and craft end-to-end event programs

- Be aware of industry best practices but comfortable breaking them
- Templatize high-frequency field level events
- Partner with executives, finance and marketing
- Manage production budget and measure effectiveness
- Source and manage top talent and agencies
- Create and govern event guidelines
What You Will Need
- 10+ years of event strategy and production experience at scale (experience with product/user conferences a plus)
- Proactive mindset. You love to create experience and care deeply about Rippling and its brand.
- Business acumen and the ability to see the impact beyond the details of planning
- Understanding for how an in-person event should translate to digital marketing channels
- Ability to influence execs, develop strong relationships, and communicate at all levels
- Ability to make decisions and recommendations even when things are ambiguous
- Ability to manage multiple work streams concurrently with operational rigor and frugality
