Marketing Events Manager

Volta • Palo Alto, CA

1d • Remote

About The Position

Volta is scaling its event presence fast – from major industry stages to a small number of far more targeted conversations with the anchor accounts we’re pursuing. This role owns that calendar end to end – strategy, budget, and vendor accountability – so our executives walk into every room prepared and come out of it with a real next step, not just a good conversation. You’ll report to our Director of Marketing and be Volta’s first dedicated events hire – converting the attention we’ve built since launch, and the fixed timeline of our flagship events, into pipeline from day one. This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives on managing logistics, budgets, and details while keeping the big picture in mind.

Requirements

• 5+ years in B2B tech field marketing or events, ideally within infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise SaaS.
• Experience managing external event-production agencies or execution vendors – holding them accountable for delivery while owning strategy in-house.
• A track record owning sponsorship negotiations and event budgets at meaningful scale.
• Comfort operating with minimal existing infrastructure in a fast-moving, pre-Series-B environment
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Responsibilities

• Own the 12-month event calendar – logistics, sponsorships, speaking submissions, and booth strategy.
• Lead planning for our flagship-tier events, including major industry conferences and capstone moments on the calendar.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to define event goals, target audiences, and success metrics before each event, not just report results after the fact.
• Stay current on industry event trends and formats to keep Volta’s presence fresh and competitive.
• Manage swag, collateral, and booth assets consistent with Volta’s brand guidelines.
• Build and manage relationships with venues, event-production vendors, and broader industry partners.
• Own the events budget – vendor negotiation, sponsorship-tier decisions, and cost tracking.
• Own on-site execution – staffing, signage, and attendee experience – working directly alongside any contracted event-production support, not delegating it away.
• Convert event presence into real pipeline for our leadership team’s small number of sequenced, high-value conversations – this is a targeted-relationship motion, not a volume one.
• Coordinate executive logistics for speaking engagements – briefing prep, talk-track alignment, and on-site support for our leadership team.
• Own post-event lead capture and handoff for nurture.
• Report event performance, pipeline impact, and ROI back into our broader marketing plan.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
• Equity in Volta, giving you the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success
• Retirement/pension contributions
• Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
• Generous number of vacation days each year
