Field and Events Marketer

Pogo Technologies•Brooklyn, OH

About The Position

As a Field and Event Marketer at Pogo, you'll own conferences, dinners and IRL events as core B2B channels. You'll run a high volume of events year-round, end-to-end, from logistics and project management to evaluating which ones are worth doing again. Conferences, dinners, and in-person experiences are a core growth channel for Pogo, not a side project. You’ll have real ownership over how Pogo shows up in the world. You’ll work closely with sales and leadership to shape how events convert into pipeline, customer relationships, and long-term partnerships - with clear visibility into what’s working. As one of the early members of the marketing team, you’ll help shape our field marketing strategy, vendor relationships, event standards, and operating rhythms as we scale. If you enjoy being in the room where things happen - building relationships face-to-face, traveling, and creating experiences people remember - this role gives you the chance to do that regularly. This role is not a traditional brand marketing role. Pogo cares deeply about ROI, pipeline, and relationship-building - not just running polished events or optimizing vanity metrics. Every event is expected to drive meaningful business impact. The role can be operationally intense. You’ll own everything end-to-end: vendor issues, logistics, travel, shipments, last-minute changes, and post-event follow-up. A lot of the work happens behind the scenes. Pogo moves quickly with very little structure. You won’t have large agency support, endless planning cycles, or overly defined processes. Pogo values autonomy, speed, and people who can figure things out as they go. Travel and context-switching are part of the job. You'll be juggling multiple events, partnerships, and experiments at once while traveling frequently. Pogo expects more than 9 to 5 - raw hours make an impact at their current stage. That said, Pogo trusts each team member to create a flexible work schedule that allows them to be most productive while accommodating other priorities outside of work. Pogo also strongly encourages time off to recharge the batteries: in addition to unlimited PTO, they've implemented a minimum 20 days vacation policy.

Requirements

Likely 1–6 years of experience in conference servicing, field marketing, or events at a tech company.
Strong operations chops. You can project manage many events at once with hundreds of moving parts and not drop the ball.
You can build a relationship with anyone - especially the people hosting events, to unlock the best slots, partnerships, and venues.
Great taste. A booth, a dinner, swag, a follow-up email - you care how things look and feel, and that taste shows up in your work.
You evaluate spend honestly. Not every event is worth it. You can tell the difference and make the call to cut what isn't working.
You operate autonomously. You don't need someone telling you which conferences to consider or which vendors to call.
You're up to travel up to 2x a month (primarily within the US).
You actively use AI tools in your workflows.
