About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own end-to-end logistics for Symplicity’s flagship conference presence, internal sales kickoff, prospect dinners, and select field events — from initial planning through on-site execution and post-event wrap-up
Manage the annual events calendar and maintain a clear, up-to-date roadmap of what’s coming, what’s in flight, and what’s complete
Partner with regional marketing and sales teams to ensure event programs are aligned to pipeline goals and deliver on attendance, engagement, and ROI targets
Own all vendor, venue, and agency relationships — negotiate contracts, manage timelines, and hold external partners accountable to quality and budget
Manage the events budget with precision — track spend, reconcile against actuals, and flag variances early; route contracts and approvals through the right channels (legal, finance)
Build and maintain repeatable workflows and checklists so nothing slips
Track event performance in HubSpot — attendance, pipeline created, pipeline influenced — and come to every debrief ready with data, not just a recap

Requirements

What you’ll need

5+ years of experience in B2B event marketing or event management, with a track record of running complex, multi-stakeholder events with minimal supervision
Genuinely exceptional organizational skills — you have a system, you work it, and things don’t fall through the cracks
Experience owning vendor and agency relationships, including negotiating contracts and managing to budget
Comfort working directly with senior execs and external clients in a polished, professional, and personable way
Proficiency with HubSpot or a comparable CRM/marketing automation platform; you understand how events connect to pipeline and you can show it
A process-oriented mindset — you follow workflows, loop in legal and finance at the right moments, and don’t create surprises for the people around you
Curiosity about AI-assisted tools and workflows — you’re open to experimenting, learning, and sharing what works with the team
Willingness to travel approximately 10% to support flagship events

Benefits

Comp & perks

Full ownership of Symplicity’s event program — the calendar, the budget, the vendor relationships, and the results
Direct partnership with the VP of Marketing and regional sales leaders who will invest in your success
Access to global marketing resources, playbooks, and a collaborative team that shares openly across regions
A team culture built around AI experimentation — we actively encourage everyone to test new tools, share learnings, and iterate together
Based in our Arlington, VA office with flexibility for the right candidate
