Director, Strategic Events and Experiences
About the role
Spring Health is a global mental health company on a mission to eliminate every barrier to mental health. We're building a world where getting support is simple, personal, and built around the person, so care can continue through every job, move, health plan, and life stage. Our AI-native platform helps us deliver personalized support across self-guided tools, coaching, therapy, medication management, and specialty care.
Reporting to the VP, B2B Marketing, this role owns our events strategy and portfolio end-to-end, deciding where we invest, what we stop doing, and how events create demand, deepen customer relationships, open executive doors, strengthen our brand, and advance priority accounts. You'll lead a team of two event marketers and work closely with sales, customer success, revenue operations, and marketing leadership. The portfolio spans major industry sponsorships, executive experiences, regional and account-based programs, Tidal (our annual customer and prospect event), Revenue Kickoff, and President's Club. This is a full-time, fully remote position.
Responsibilities
- Own the Events Strategy
- Build the annual events strategy against company, marketing, and revenue priorities.
- Decide where to place bigger bets, where to pull back, and which programs no longer deserve investment.
- Ensure every major event has a clear job: creating pipeline, advancing an opportunity, engaging a priority account, expanding a customer relationship, building executive access, or strengthening our market position.
- Own the portfolio, the budget, and the trade-offs.
- Lead Our Most Important Experiences
- Own the strategy and execution of Tidal, shaping the audience, content, speaker strategy, programming, attendee experience, and commercial goals.
- Work with senior leaders to make Tidal a platform customers value and want to invest in year after year, prospects want access to, and the market associates with Spring Health.
- Lead revenue kickoff, president's club, and other high-profile company experiences.
- Build processes and standards that keep the portfolio consistently high quality, even when execution is distributed across the team and external partners.
- Build an Executive and Account-Based Events Engine
- Create experiences worth a senior buyer's time.
- Build a scalable executive and regional events motion with sales and customer success, using dinners, roundtables, experiential programs, partner events, and other formats.
- Start with the account objective, not the event idea: before a program launches, the target audience, outreach plan, desired account movement, follow-up motion, and expected ROI should already be clear.
- Make Events Commercially Accountable
- Build a measurement model that reflects what each event is supposed to accomplish, whether that's sourced pipeline, target-account engagement, opportunity progression, executive relationships, customer expansion, brand visibility, or another measurable outcome.
- Partner with sales, BDR, marketing operations, and revenue operations to connect events to the broader GTM motion before, during, and after each program.
- Own a regular reporting cadence, dashboards, and updates that give leadership a clear, current view of portfolio performance and ROI.
- Use data to make decisions: keep what works and change what doesn't.
- Use AI to Make a Small Team More Powerful
- Find practical ways to use AI across audience selection, research, outreach, personalization, planning, analysis, feedback synthesis, and event operations.
- Build repeatable workflows that eliminate low-value manual work and free the team for strategy, creativity, relationships, and execution.
- Stay current on emerging event technology and formats: test what has potential, ignore what's mostly noise.
- Lead the Team
- Manage and develop two event marketers who own their programs end-to-end.
- Set a clear bar, coach judgment, not just execution, and stay close enough to improve the work without becoming the decision bottleneck.
- Manage agencies, venues, production partners, sponsors, and vendors, deciding what should stay in-house versus handled externally.
- Bring a point of view: this team should help determine where events can create business impact, not wait for event requests.
What Success Looks Like
- Meet annual goals for pipeline and revenue influenced by events.
- Increase engagement from priority customers, prospects, and senior decision-makers.
- Achieve strong attendee satisfaction across major events and experiences.
- Deliver the events portfolio within approved budget.
- Ensure event follow-up is completed on time and drives measurable opportunity progression.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in B2B events, experiential marketing, or field marketing, including ownership of a complex events portfolio.
- 3+ years managing people and building teams that can operate with real autonomy.
- Experience leading large-scale B2B events end-to-end, including owned conferences or customer summits, major sponsorships, executive experiences, and internal revenue events.
- Strong commercial instincts: you understand how events connect to pipeline, account movement, customer growth, and brand.
- Experience working closely with sales, customer success, revenue operations, and marketing around shared GTM priorities.
- Strong portfolio judgment: you can weigh competing opportunities, decide where to invest, and explain why.
- A high bar for programming, content, production, creative, and attendee experience.
- Experience owning meaningful budgets and managing agencies, venues, sponsors, vendors, and production partners.
- Experience building and delivering clear, data-backed reporting to executive leadership on program performance and ROI.
- Hands-on experience using AI, automation, and emerging technology to improve how work gets done.
- Fluency with core GTM and event systems, including Salesforce and marketing automation platforms.
- Clear, concise communication and the executive presence to work comfortably with senior leaders, customers, prospects, and external partners.
- Comfort making decisions without perfect information; you raise issues early and bring a recommendation with them.
- Willingness to travel and work flexibly around major events when needed.
