Tanium is seeking an experienced Event Manager, Tradeshows to own the end-to-end planning, logistics, and execution of the company's presence at third-party tradeshows, industry conferences, and sponsored events across North America and globally. This role is central to how Tanium shows up in the market, ensuring every booth, sponsorship, and event activation reflects the brand with precision, generates qualified pipeline, and delivers measurable ROI.
Key responsibilities include:
• Own the complete lifecycle of Tanium's tradeshow and third-party event program—from event selection and sponsorship contracting through on-site execution, lead handoff, and post-event analysis.
• Develop and manage the annual tradeshow calendar in alignment with Marketing, Sales, and Field Marketing priorities, evaluating event opportunities, recommending investments, and maintaining a portfolio that maximizes pipeline impact per dollar spent.
• Lead all pre-event logistics including venue coordination, booth design and fabrication, A/V and production, shipping and drayage, staffing schedules, housing blocks, and sponsorship fulfillment.
• Manage event budgets exceeding $1M, negotiate contracts with general services contractors and vendors, and ensure operational excellence throughout the event lifecycle.
• Brief field sales teams on pre-show engagement strategy and coordinate on-site execution to drive lead generation and brand presence.
• Proactively identify and resolve issues before they become problems on the show floor, maintaining composure under pressure.
The ideal candidate is an experienced B2B event professional with deep expertise in tradeshow operations, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple complex events simultaneously. This role requires approximately 25-30% travel and follows a hybrid schedule requiring a minimum of three days per week in one of the five office locations.
