Identify and manage sponsorships of other customer events to extend Lytx's visibility and customer engagement beyond owned programs.
• Budget & Vendor Management: Own event budgets across all programs, tracking spend against forecast, negotiating vendor contracts, and identifying cost efficiencies without compromising experience.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with Sales, Product, Customer Success, and Executive stakeholders to align event goals, content, and messaging with broader business priorities.
• Vendor & Logistics: Manage relationships with venues, production companies, caterers, décor and AV vendors, and travel partners; negotiate contracts and manage RFP processes.
• Measurement & Reporting: Define and report on event KPIs (attendance, engagement, pipeline influence, satisfaction) and deliver post-event recaps with recommendations for future programs.
