The Field Marketing Manager will plan and execute marketing programs that generate pipeline and accelerate revenue across global markets. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of marketing and sales, requiring someone who can build an event strategy as well as analyze campaign performance and partner with regional sales teams to drive results. Ideally based in the SF Bay Area, with the ability to be in office 3-4 days per week. Responsibilities Plan, manage, and execute a global calendar of field marketing programs, including hosted events, third-party conferences, executive roundtables, customer dinners, and virtual events. Own events end-to-end — from strategy, logistics, and vendor management through to on-site execution, follow-up, and ROI reporting. Partner with regional sales teams to identify and prioritize field program opportunities that align with pipeline goals and account-based strategies. Coordinate with the partner and alliances team to develop co-marketing events and joint field programs with strategic partners. Manage event budgets across multiple programs, ensuring spend is tracked, optimized, and reported accurately. Evaluate and recommend new event formats and engagement opportunities that align with how our target buyers want to engage. Campaign Execution & Pipeline Generation Develop and execute integrated field marketing campaigns — spanning events, digital, direct mail, and content — that generate net-new pipeline and accelerate existing opportunities. Work closely with demand generation and marketing operations teams to ensure field programs are properly tracked, attributed, and optimized within the marketing tech stack. Partner with BDRs and client partners / account executives to ensure strong pre- and post-event follow-up that converts marketing activity into a qualified pipeline. Support account-based marketing initiatives by developing targeted field plays for key accounts and strategic verticals. Leverage marketing automation and CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce) to manage campaign execution, lead flow, and performance tracking. Sponsorships & Flagship Events Manage Aera's participation in global sponsorships and third-party industry events, including major analyst firm events such as Gartner conferences, coordinating logistics, booth presence, speaking opportunities, and attendee engagement. Play a key supporting role in the planning and execution of AeraHub, the annual customer and partner conference, owning defined workstreams from pre-event planning through on-site execution and post-event follow-up. Coordinate with internal stakeholders — including product, sales, and executive leadership — to ensure sponsorship and flagship event activations are strategically aligned and well-represented. Track and report on sponsorship ROI and event outcomes, including pipeline generated, brand visibility, and attendee engagement. Reporting & Optimization Track and report on field marketing program performance, including pipeline generated, pipeline influenced, event ROI, and attendee engagement metrics. Provide regular reporting and insights to the Manager, Field Marketing and regional sales leadership on program effectiveness and recommendations for optimization. Maintain a clear view of field marketing contribution to pipeline across regions, identifying trends and areas for improvement. About You 3–5 years of experience in field marketing, demand generation, or event marketing, preferably in a B2B SaaS or enterprise technology environment. Proven track record of planning and executing field marketing programs — both in-person and virtual — that contribute measurably to pipeline.
