Events Manager

Events Manager

Location: Remote (except California)
Status: Full-Time

At Marketing Architects, we believe TV advertising is still the most powerful marketing channel. But the typical process for TV is expensive, difficult to scale and to measure. So we flipped the traditional approach on its head and rebuilt the agency model with the client in mind. Today, we're growing a team of talent from across the United States to reimagine how brands advertise on TV.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This role owns Marketing Architects’ events strategy and execution, helping the company build brand awareness and create meaningful in-person connections with prospective clients. You will plan and manage conferences, sponsorships, hosted dinners and other in-person experiences while representing Marketing Architects at events across the industry. This role sits on the Marketing team and reports to the Chief Marketing Officer.

What you'll do:

• Own the events strategy: Plan and manage Marketing Architects’ annual events calendar, including conferences, sponsorships, hosted dinners and company events.

• Execute events end-to-end: Lead logistics, vendor coordination and onsite management to ensure events run smoothly and deliver strong experiences for prospects and partners.

• Travel to events: Attend 5–10 conferences and industry events per year (~10–15% travel), typically 3–4 days per event and concentrated in the spring and fall, to execute experiences and represent Marketing Architects in-market.

• Create meaningful prospect engagement: Design in-person experiences that increase face time with CMOs and senior marketing leaders and help generate new business opportunities.

• Manage event investments: Oversee a $1M+ annual events budget and ensure sponsorships and activations support brand visibility and pipeline growth.

• Partner across teams: Work closely with marketing and sales leaders to ensure events support broader marketing campaigns and business development efforts.

Who you are:

• Events marketing professional: 3+ years of experience managing conferences, sponsorships or experiential marketing programs.

• Marketing industry fluent: Background in marketing, advertising or agency environments with the ability to engage credibly with CMOs and senior marketing leaders.

• Large-scale event operator: Experience managing complex events and logistics with significant budgets ($500K+ preferred).

• Event technology capable: Familiarity with event management platforms, CRM tools or marketing automation systems used to track event engagement and outcomes.

Our values:

• Hungry Humble Smart: We seek a trifecta of talent. We take initiative and act with urgency. Look inwards before outwards. Value EQ over IQ.

• Mindset Matters: Success starts between our ears. We face challenges with a calm confidence and pivot quickly. As eternal optimists, we know we are capable of great things and have survived worse. Our best days are always ahead.

• Team Is Hero: We, not me. Being a hero is a team sport and it's the unique talents of many that make us one of a kind. No one person can win the day, but great teams can change the world.

• Rebel Against Ordinary: We reject the ordinary to deliver the extraordinary. We are contrarians by choice. We take the path less chosen and if the way forward isn't clear, we will create it.

• Relentless Learning: We never stop learning. The next book. The next podcast. The next big idea. Driven to broaden what we know. Because the more we discover what we don't, the more exciting the journey becomes.
