You will get the opportunity to travel the United States, taking on diverse responsibilities that include driving event attendance, managing event execution, and cultivating professional relationships from initial contact to long-term partnership. This is a position perfect for someone who is passionate about marketing, events, making a real-world positive impact ,and connecting with customers and prospects in every way possible - on the phone, at their facilities, or at our events.

What you'll do

• Travel up to 50% of the month to cities across the US to support and execute our in-person events.

• Engage with event attendees to foster a sense of community and build strong relationships with prospective customers in person.

• Collaborate with the sales team to ensure a seamless hand off to close deals.

What we're looking for

• A proactive and collaborative team player who is eager to learn and take on new challenges.

• A passion for our mission to lift people up the socioeconomic ladder.

• Familiarity with digital marketing tools and platforms is a plus.

• Speed and bias for action. We move quickly, which means that flexibility and adaptability are key to succeeding here. 

• Willingness and ownership – if there is something that needs to get done, you do it instead of waiting for someone else to do it. 

• Prior experience in marketing, sales, event planning, or a related field is a plus, but not required.
