About The Position

Do you believe building world-class, large-scale events is where strategy meets execution? Then Jobber might be the place for you. We’re looking for an Event Manager to join our Marketing team and own the planning, promotion, and execution of large-scale, high-visibility, Jobber-led events that connect our brand with customers, partners, and our community. This role is not just about logistics: event promotion is a core responsibility.
Jobber exists to help people in small businesses be successful. We work with small home service businesses, like your local plumbers, painters, and landscapers, to transform the way service is delivered through technology. With Jobber, they can quote, schedule, invoice, and collect payments from their customers while providing an easy and professional customer experience. Running a small business today isn’t like it used to be; the way we consume and deliver service is changing rapidly, technology is evolving, and customers expect more. That’s why we put the power and flexibility in their hands to run their businesses how, where, and when they want!
Our culture of transparency, inclusivity, collaboration, and innovation has been recognized by Great Place to Work, Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures, and more. Jobber has also been named on the Globe and Mail’s Canada’s Top Growing Companies list, and Deloitte Canada’s Technology Fast 50™, Enterprise Fast 15, and Technology Fast 500™ lists. With an Executive team that has over thirty years of industry experience of leading the way, we’ve come a long way from our first customer in 2011—but we’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to accomplish for our customers.
The Team:
Marketing at Jobber is responsible for telling our story, growing awareness, and driving demand. Within Marketing, Events plays a critical role in bringing the Jobber brand to life through Jobber-led, high-impact experiences—both virtual and in-person—that drive connection, education, and measurable business outcomes.
You’ll work closely with Brand and Creative, Product and Product Marketing, and Revenue teams, as well as external vendors and partners, to deliver events that support company priorities.
The Role:
As Event Manager, you’ll be responsible for promoting, planning, and executing Jobber-led, high-visibility events end to end. This portfolio primarily includes flagship, virtual, and hybrid events with large audiences and meaningful budgets.
You’ll own event strategy and execution while leading cross-functional collaboration and communication across Marketing, Product, Revenue, and external partners to ensure events are well-promoted, well-attended, and demonstrably impactful.
This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts strategic planner, operator, and marketer—someone who understands that a great event isn’t just well-produced, but aggressively and thoughtfully promoted.
Key events for this role include Jobber Summit, our annual virtual conference for the blue collar community, and Jobber Now, our annual product launch and user conference.
