The company is hiring its first dedicated events hire to own the full 12-month event calendar end to end, from strategy and budget to vendor accountability and on-site execution. Reporting to the Director of Marketing, the role leads planning for flagship industry conferences and capstone moments, partnering with Sales and Marketing leadership to define goals, audiences and success metrics. The person manages venues, event-production vendors and sponsorship negotiations, coordinates executive logistics for speaking engagements, and converts event presence into pipeline for a small number of high-value, targeted account conversations. It is a highly visible position focused on logistics, budgets and detail while keeping the broader marketing plan and ROI in view.
Responsibilities
- · Own the 12-month event calendar – logistics, sponsorships, speaking submissions, and booth strategy.
- · Lead planning for our flagship-tier events, including major industry conferences and capstone moments on the calendar.
- · Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to define event goals, target audiences, and success metrics before each event, not just report results after the fact.
- · Stay current on industry event trends and formats to keep Volta’s presence fresh and competitive.
- · Manage swag, collateral, and booth assets consistent with Volta’s brand guidelines.
- · Build and manage relationships with venues, event-production vendors, and broader industry partners.
- · Own the events budget – vendor negotiation, sponsorship-tier decisions, and cost tracking.
- · Own on-site execution – staffing, signage, and attendee experience – working directly alongside any contracted event-production support, not delegating it away.
- · Convert event presence into real pipeline for our leadership team’s small number of sequenced, high-value conversations – this is a targeted-relationship motion, not a volume one.
- · Coordinate executive logistics for speaking engagements – briefing prep, talk-track alignment, and on-site support for our leadership team.
- · Own post-event lead capture and handoff for nurture.
- · Report event performance, pipeline impact, and ROI back into our broader marketing plan.
Requirements
- · 5+ years in B2B tech field marketing or events, ideally within infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise SaaS.
- · Experience managing external event-production agencies or execution vendors – holding them accountable for delivery while owning strategy in-house.
- · A track record owning sponsorship negotiations and event budgets at meaningful scale.
- · Comfort operating with minimal existing infrastructure in a fast-moving, pre-Series-B environment
- · Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on the work you do here, not your previous salary
- Equity in Volta, giving you the opportunity to share in the company's long-term success
- Retirement/pension contributions
- Comprehensive health, wellbeing and insurance benefits
- Generous number of vacation days each year
