About the role

ABOUT THE ROLE The Events & Field Marketing Manager will be the primary owner of Marketing-led events across in-person and virtual channels, including industry conferences, trade shows, executive dinners, customer and prospect events, webinars, and other field activations. You’ll manage the entire event lifecycle—from evaluating opportunities and setting goals through logistics, promotion, on-site execution, follow-up, attribution, and ROI reporting. You’ll be responsible for implementing Passport’s Events Playbook, ensuring teams follow it consistently, and continuously improving it based on what we learn. You’ll also partner closely with Partnerships and our 3PL organization to provide event support where capacity allows, helping Passport maximize the impact of partner-led and 3PL-led events without losing focus on our highest-priority Marketing-owned programs. Beyond traditional events, you'll help expand Passport's presence in the market by proactively identifying speaking engagements, panels, podcasts, webinars, and other opportunities to put Passport leaders and subject matter experts in front of relevant audiences. This role will also provide light field marketing and sales enablement support, particularly where it helps Sales and BDR teams get more value from our event investments.
