Growth Field Marketer

Sift Stack, Inc.•San Francisco, CA

6d•$125,000 - $175,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Sift is seeking a Growth Field Marketer to own their events and field program, including hosted community nights out of their San Francisco office. The goal is to translate the energy of in-person events into online content that compounds the hard tech conversation on platforms like Twitter. This role balances creating a great "vibe" to fill rooms with driving a "funnel" of leads and talent contributions. The position involves managing an annual event calendar, budget, and return on investment, building owned event programs, and establishing a recurring San Francisco community program. A key aspect is ensuring all events generate online content, grow Sift's Twitter presence, and contribute to a measurable pipeline. The role also includes refining booth execution into a system, shaping the employer brand, managing speaking submissions and sponsorships, and treating all activities as a growth portfolio. The ideal candidate will have experience in field marketing, growth, events, brand, or community, with a proven ability to make in-person moments travel online and a strong presence on Twitter, particularly within the hard tech and defense tech sectors. They should be comfortable with both creating engaging experiences and driving measurable results, possess strong production and operational skills, and be comfortable with CRM and marketing automation tools. Willingness to travel is also required.

Requirements

4+ years in field marketing, growth, events, brand, or community, with real ownership of a calendar, a budget, and a number.
Time inside a company during the stretch when it became a place people wanted to work, with a clear account of what you specifically owned.
Proof you can make an IRL moment travel online: events you ran that became posts people actually saw, shared, and showed up because of.
A real presence on or fluency with Twitter, especially the hard tech and defense tech corners of it.
A track record of running a hosted format people ask to be invited to.
A real Bay Area network in hard tech, defense tech, robotics, or autonomy.
Equal comfort with vibe and funnel: has made things that were simply great, and has shipped work with attribution behind it, and refuses to choose between the two.
Production instinct: comfortable directing video, photography, and editorial and getting it out the door fast.
Operational exactness: contracts, deposits, shipping deadlines, badge scanners, vendor invoices.
Comfort in the CRM and marketing automation stack, building your own invite lists and running your own campaigns.
Willingness to travel: roughly one show a month in season, plus regular time in LA and periodic trips to DC.
U.S. Person Required: Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or protected individual such as an asylee or refugee in compliance with ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) / EAR (Export Administration Regulations) regulations.

Nice To Haves

Experience marketing in NDA-constrained environments, where much of what customers do cannot be named on a banner.
Experience opening a new market or city for a company previously concentrated in one place.
Existing relationships with venue, production, and experiential vendors in San Francisco.
Experience running partner and co-marketing motions, including shared booths and co-hosted events.

Responsibilities

Own the annual event calendar, budget, and the return on it. Run our internal event scoring framework and make the call on every booth, walk, and pass with a rationale attached.
Build and run our owned event program: dinners, roundtables, and hosted formats that fill without depending on account executives sending personal invites the week of.
Stand up a recurring San Francisco community program out of our SF office, so the Bay Area hardware and autonomy community has a Sift night on its calendar.
Make every event ship to the feed. Every event we host or attend produces clips, photos, and posts on Twitter within days. If it was worth hosting, it is worth posting.
Grow Sift’s Twitter presence into something that carries the energy of the SF hard tech scene, and get the team posting alongside the company account.
Partner with RevOps to close our attribution gap so every booth, dinner, and sponsorship maps to opportunities and event-sourced pipeline is a number we can state.
Turn booth execution into a system: owned assets, a shipping and staffing runbook, a quarterly collateral kit, consistent lead capture, and follow-up within 48 hours.
Help Shape employer brand: build the Working at Sift and Why I Joined programs into a real cadence, and make the engineers the protagonists of our content.
Own speaking submissions and sponsorships, coordinated with comms.
Treat all of it as a growth portfolio: measure each program, kill what does not convert, and double down on what does.
