You will get the opportunity to travel the United States, taking on diverse responsibilities that include driving event attendance, managing event execution, and cultivating professional relationships from initial contact to long-term partnership. This is a position perfect for someone who is passionate about marketing, events, making a real-world positive impact ,and connecting with customers and prospects in every way possible - on the phone, at their facilities, or at our events.

What you'll do

• Travel up to 50% of the month to cities across the US to support and execute our in-person events.

• Engage with event attendees to foster a sense of community and build strong relationships with prospective customers in person.

• Collaborate with the sales team to ensure a seamless hand off to close deals.

• Making calls to prospective customers to secure event attendance.

What we're looking for

• A creative and enthusiastic individual with a passion for marketing and events who gains energy from being around people.

• A proactive and collaborative team player who is eager to learn and take on new challenges.

• A passion for our mission to lift people up the socioeconomic ladder.

• Familiarity with digital marketing tools and platforms is a plus.

• Speed and bias for action. We move quickly, which means that flexibility and adaptability are key to succeeding here. 

• Willingness and ownership – if there is something that needs to get done, you do it instead of waiting for someone else to do it. 

• Prior experience in marketing, sales, event planning, or a related field is a plus, but not required.

You Might Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have 2–5+ years of professional experience. A history in the software and healthcare industries is a plus, but not required.

• Thrive in a fast-paced, goal-driven environment and adapt quickly when the playbook changes.

• Are naturally curious, a creative problem-solver, and see challenges as opportunities.

• Communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and take full ownership of your work.

You’ll Love This Role If You:

• Want to grow your career in growth strategy, marketing, and sales, and are eager to see the direct impact of your work.

• Are excited by autonomy — you’ll take ownership of the brand experience at our events and be trusted to make them successful.
