Marketing Manager, Digital Events

About the role

We're building live commerce at a scale that's never been done in the West, and there's no playbook to copy. As a remote co-located team, we're inspired by our values and anchored in hubs across the US, UK, Ireland, Poland, Germany, and Australia. We move fast, stay close to our users, and focus on the work that drives the most impact.

As our Marketing Manager, Digital Events, you’ll bring high-impact, app-wide events to life across Whatnot. You’ll own the day-to-day execution that turns event ideas into buyer engagement, seller participation, and measurable platform growth.

Responsibilities

• Drive buyer engagement and seller participation for app-wide events by owning event timelines, asset coordination, in-app merchandising, email builds and programming details.
• Improve the quality and consistency of digital event execution by building clear operating plans, tracking dependencies, and keeping cross-functional partners accountable to deadlines.
• Help sellers and creators show up successfully in key events by supporting onboarding, programming guidance, communication, and expectation-setting.
• Support event promotion across channels by coordinating with marketing, creative, category, and seller teams to make sure campaigns are clear, timely, and compelling.
• Raise the bar on future events by building post-event recaps, surfacing performance trends, and turning learnings into sharper playbooks.

Requirements

• Strong event or campaign execution skills, with the ability to manage timelines, owners, assets, promotion, and launch details without losing track of the small things.
