Ramp · Chicago, IL · 3 wk ago
HybridSalesFull-time

About the role

This role is different from most event marketers. You'll own Ramp's entire third-party event footprint—major industry conferences and tentpole sponsorships where we show up alongside prospects and customers. This is a player-coach role. You'll lead a team of event marketers while staying close to execution, partnering daily with Sales to ensure every event is staffed strategically and followed up properly.

What You'll Do

  • Ramp's third-party conference and sponsorship portfolio—evaluation, negotiation, and budget management across major industry tentpoles
  • Activation strategy for each event: targeting, staffing, programming, and follow-up
  • A team of event marketers—setting direction, developing their skills, and raising the bar on execution
  • Sales enablement for field events: briefings, account lists, rep assignments, outreach support, and post-show accountability
  • Data and reporting: pipeline sourced, influenced, and cost-per-opportunity across the 3P portfolio

What You Need

  • 6+ years in B2B event marketing, with at least 2 years focused on third-party or sponsorship programs at scale
  • Deep experience with major tentpole conferences—negotiating sponsorships, managing booths, and turning show floor presence into booked meetings
  • A track record of working hand-in-hand with Sales—running staffing strategy, enabling reps before shows, and holding post-event follow-up accountable
  • Experience managing people and building team processes—coaching, prioritizing, and developing
  • Strong budget judgment—knowing where to invest and where to pull back
  • Fintech, SaaS, or enterprise B2B background preferred

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS or fintech company
  • Experience building event programs targeting mid-market and enterprise customers
  • Experience launching events strategy in new verticals, industries, or geographies
  • Demonstrated use of AI or automation to improve event marketing workflows or outcomes

Benefits

  • Full-time Ramp Employees (Global)
  • Flexible PTO
  • Unlimited AI token usage
  • Centralized home-office equipment ordering
  • Health and wellness stipend
  • Budget for intra-office travel
  • Weekly coffee stipend
  • To be determined
