Powering Real Work 

TravelPerk is one of the fastest-growing SaaS companies, redefining how businesses manage travel and spend. As we expand across North America, we're looking for a Events Marketing Manager (NAM) to drive field and event marketing strategy across the region, from flagship experiences to regional activations that fuel pipeline, deepen customer engagement, and elevate brand awareness.

Reporting to the Director of Marketing (NAM), you'll own the full lifecycle of events in North America, developing the regional strategy, managing execution, aligning with revenue goals, and delivering measurable business outcomes. This is a highly cross-functional role that partners closely with sales, marketing, partnerships, and operations to ensure every event drives brand growth and demand generation for 2026 and beyond. You will collaborate closely with our revenue and marketing leaders, the sales development teams, and marketers to deliver compelling events and programs that align with the company's goals.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Build and execute a North America events strategy aligned to regional pipeline goals, sales objectives, and market maturity. This includes large industry events, partner activations, customer roundtables, and field programs that connect with TravelPerk's target audiences.
  • Own the end-to-end event process, from strategic planning and budgeting to venue sourcing, logistics, contracts, on-site execution, and post-event analysis.
  • Align with regional sales and marketing leadership to define event objectives, ICP targeting, and ROI expectations across event tiers (flagship, regional, field).
  • Develop measurable KPIs and event scorecards that tie activities to influenced and sourced pipeline, SQL creation, and customer expansion.
  • Manage pre-event and post-event workflows including promotion, attendee engagement, and lead follow-up in collaboration with marketing operations and revenue operations.
  • Lead cross-functional coordination across content, design, partnerships, and enablement teams to ensure messaging consistency and activation excellence.
  • Drive innovation in event experiences, from hosted executive dinners to interactive brand activations, to differentiate TravelPerk in a competitive North American market.
  • Report on ROI and performance trends by event type, region, and audience to continually optimize spend and impact.
  • Stay ahead of event and field marketing trends in North America, identifying emerging opportunities for regional brand visibility and customer engagement.
  • Collaborate with global marketing and EMEA field teams to ensure alignment with TravelPerk's brand, messaging, and global event strategy while adapting for regional nuances.

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • 5+ years of experience in field and event marketing roles, ideally within B2B SaaS or tech industries, with direct responsibility for U.S. and/or Canada programs.
  • Proven success in building regional event programs tied to pipeline and revenue metrics.
  • Expertise in cross-functional collaboration with sales, marketing operations, and creative teams.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills, capable of managing multiple events simultaneously under tight deadlines.
  • Analytical and ROI-driven mindset with confidence in interpreting metrics, building dashboards, and presenting outcomes to senior leadership.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across teams and time zones.
  • Budget ownership experience, including forecasting, vendor negotiations, and spend optimization.
  • Creative and customer-centric thinking with a passion for experiential storytelling.
  • Willingness to travel domestically (25-30%) for event execution and regional collaboration.

Compensation
