About The Position

Axiad is an identity security company tackling the critical threats posed by compromised credentials, which account for over 70% of enterprise breaches. As human and non-human identities multiply across disparate systems, traditional IAM tools fall short, leaving organizations with fragmented visibility and significant security gaps. Axiad bridges this divide by uncovering hidden identity risks and credential vulnerabilities, providing actionable insights to strengthen security—without requiring a complete system overhaul. Our solutions integrate seamlessly with existing IAM infrastructures, enabling organizations to shrink their attack surface and adopt phishing-resistant, strong authentication methods. At Axiad, we make identity security simple, effective, and real for a passwordless, more secure world. Discover more at axiad.com or follow us on LinkedIn. We’re looking for a Marketing Ops Manager who can turn industry conferences, field events, webinars, and customer experiences into high-impact pipeline engines. Someone who lives for the logistics and the creative. Someone who can translate our messaging—identity sprawl, credential chaos, and the speed of now—into brand experiences people remember. This role sits inside our Marketing team and works cross-functionally with Sales, Product Marketing, Design, and leadership. You’ll own the planning, execution, and optimization of all events that help drive awareness, engagement, and revenue. If you enjoy building experiences that turn “I’ve heard of” into “I need,” you’ll fit right in.

Requirements

4–7+ years of B2B event marketing experience (cybersecurity or enterprise SaaS preferred).
Proven success managing large conferences, trade shows, and field events end-to-end.
Strong project management and vendor-management skills—organized, calm under pressure, unfazed by the occasional fire drill.
Comfortable collaborating across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Exec teams.
Ability to translate technical or complex products into engaging event experiences.
A data-informed approach to measuring success, ROI, and pipeline impact.
Creativity with a dash of humor—you’re the type who can turn badge ribbons, socks, or a booth theme into a moment people remember.
