The Position:
FastSpring's marketing team has an exciting mission: to showcase our world-class ecommerce platform to SaaS/Software, gaming, and other digital products globally. As part of that mission, we're seeking a talented Events Manager to bring their strategic vision and execution expertise to our event marketing initiatives. We want our presence at tradeshows, conferences, and sponsored events to be memorable, impactful, and effective at generating valuable leads. That's where you come in!
The ideal candidate will hit the ground running to plan and execute exceptional event experiences that align with our brand and business objectives. You'll start by managing our existing event calendar, but quickly expand to play a strategic role in identifying new opportunities and elevating FastSpring's presence in the market. At first, you'll work within our established event framework, but soon you'll be innovating and optimizing our approach to maximize ROI and create standout brand experiences.
This role will focus on the complete event lifecycle - from researching industry events that align with our ideal customer profile, to managing logistics, coordinating with stakeholders, and measuring outcomes. You might help organize everything from large industry tradeshows to intimate customer dinners, virtual webinars to executive speaking engagements. The most important part is creating cohesive, professional experiences that make complex payments solutions approachable and compelling through strategic event marketing.
You'll be joining a marketing team energized by both brand growth and professional development. Prepare for a tremendous learning opportunity with a team that boasts exceptional employee satisfaction scores and prides themselves on fostering an environment where creativity thrives, ideas are valued, and team members feel empowered to experiment and grow.
The title of this position is "Events Manager", but we're big believers that if you have a different title that more accurately describes your contributions, there should be flexibility. Bring your ideas around that and let's discuss.
