Events Marketer

Pylon•San Francisco, CA

About The Position

Events are Pylon's most proven pipeline channel, and this role owns it. As the Events Marketer at Pylon, you will own our events program from strategy through execution: deciding where to invest, building out owned event formats, and ensuring every touchpoint before, during, and after moves the right people closer to a conversation with our team. You'll build Pylon's brand presence with founders and post-sales leaders and partner closely with Sales, Success and Marketing to make sure every event drives the business forward. We have playbooks that work. We're looking for someone to take what's working and push it further with more creativity, testing, and scale. This role is ideal for someone who is as comfortable developing a quarterly events strategy as they are on-site running a dinner.

Requirements

Have 5+ years in event marketing or a closely related role at a B2B SaaS company
Have demonstrated ownership of an events program, not just execution within one
Have strong strategic instincts: you can articulate why an event belongs in the plan, not just how to run it
Are highly organized and can manage multiple programs simultaneously without losing the details
Build strong relationships with sales and know how to align events to pipeline goals
Are comfortable as both the strategist and the person setting up the room
Are willing and excited to travel 20-40% of the time for on-site execution

Nice To Haves

Have experience with creative, experiential, or guerrilla marketing formats
Have familiarity with Salesforce, Clay, Sequel, or similar tools
