About the Role
As a Field Marketing Manager, you will play a meaningful role in shaping how Port operates and scales within the European market. You will work closely with the Demand Generation, Sales, and Customer Success teams, take ownership over the end-to-end USA events strategy, and help transform complex field marketing challenges into clear, structured outcomes that drive pipeline and brand authority.
Responsibilities
- Own and execute the USA Event Strategy with independence and accountability, from large-scale conference sponsorships to bespoke, Port-only hosted events.
- Collaborate with Sales and Head of Demand Gen to align event selection with regional lead and pipeline forecasts.
- Turn ambiguity into structured processes regarding venue selection, vendor management, and target audience identification for new regional markets.
- Drive high-quality execution of lead management workflows, ensuring quality context is delivered to sales teams with speed and precision.
- Communicate clearly and document decisions through rigorous reporting on ROI, KPIs, and post-event analysis.
- Continuously improve event standards, test new engagement formats, and optimize the "pre/during/post" activity playbook.
- Partner with external vendors and third-party organizers to secure premium sponsorships and ensure seamless execution of the USA activity calendar.
How Success Will Look Like
- Take full ownership of the US event calendar and operate independently with third-party vendors.
- Deliver consistent, high-quality event experiences that meet or exceed pipeline generation targets.
- Proactively identify gaps in the current regional strategy and recommend high-impact ancillary events.
- Build strong working relationships with the Sales and CS teams based on trust and seamless lead handoff accountability.
- Contribute to a calmer, more predictable, and better-organized marketing engine through meticulous project management.
