Field Marketing Manager
Chalk, San Francisco, CA, United States
Chalk is building the data platform that powers the future of machine learning applications. We tear down complexity, latency, and scale barriers that have traditionally constrained ML capabilities. Our platform combines Rust-speed performance with elegant tools that developers love to use. Leading companies depend on Chalk for everything from stopping fraudulent credit card swipes, identity verification, and maximizing clean energy capture.
About The Role
As Chalk's Field Marketing Manager , you'll bring our data platform to life for technical audiences. Reporting to our VP Marketing, you'll establish Chalk's presence at key industry conferences while creating our own signature events that bring the ML community together. Beyond budgeting and logistics, you'll build genuine connections in the developer ecosystem that convert to pipeline. If you know the difference between an empty marketing event and one that actually moves technical audiences, we’d love to talk.
What You’ll Do
Craft and execute Chalk's event strategy, from identifying the right conferences to creating a standout presence.
Design and host Chalk-branded meetups, talks, and workshops that showcase our product and build community.
Own the complete event lifecycle — from allocating budget and multi-channel promotion to on-site logistics and post-event follow-up.
Partner with Developer Advocacy to align event strategy with community-building and business objectives.
Collaborate with the Sales team during field programs to accelerate deals in pipeline while generating qualified net-new opportunities.
Build strategic relationships with event organizers and developer communities.
Experiment with creative formats that break through the noise at crowded events.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of field marketing experience, data or developer tooling experience
Track record of planning and executing events that generated measurable pipeline
Strategic thinking combined with scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves execution
Familiarity with both strategic and community events
Cross-functional project management skills, including collaboration with multiple vendors
Excellent communication skills across technical and business contexts
Ability to travel domestically up to 30% of the time
Experience with AI/ML tooling
Background building event programs from the ground up at an early-stage startup
Benefits
⚕️Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement savings
15 company holidays each year
️15 days of personal time off each year
Flex Commuter Benefits
Daily lunch and dinner on Chalk
Office is fully-stocked with drinks and snacks to fuel your work day.
️ Staying late? Dinner is on us
Compensation
Salary Range
$150,000 – $250,000 - Offers equity + benefits
Chalk offers early team members a generous salary + equity package based on experience and competitive benefits.
Actual compensation awarded to successful candidates will be based on several factors, including but not limited to: market, location, scope of the position and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process.
Our comprehensive total package plays a major role in how we recognize individuals for the impact they will have on Chalk’s growth and us achieving our goals.
Inclusivity
Chalk is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and inclusion and provide reasonable accommodations to anyone in need of individualized support.
