inquirED is an education technology company that provides high-quality instructional materials for K–5 schools. Their product suite includes Inkwell (elementary ELA and social studies curriculum), Inquiry Journeys (K–5 social studies), and Great First Eight (Pre-K/TK curriculum). The company is launching new products and seeking to build momentum with district leaders through strategic events.
As Events and Field Marketing Manager, you will own the complete lifecycle of inquirED's event strategy, from planning through execution and analysis. This is a high-impact role that directly supports the company's go-to-market efforts in the K–12 education sector.
Key responsibilities include:
- Manage all conference attendance, hosted events, customer dinners, happy hours, and the annual Social Studies Leadership Symposium
- Own a unified events calendar and budget; recommend which events to pursue, cut, or add based on performance data
- Collaborate with Sales to build invite lists, write event copy, manage RSVPs, and execute post-event follow-up
- Plan and execute booth presence, receptions, dinners, and speaker moments to create strong impressions with district leaders
- Handle all operational details: sponsorships, event briefs, creative deadlines, shipping, booth staffing, vendor payments, and internal communications
- Develop event recaps within two weeks, documenting costs, meetings, opportunities, and lessons learned
- Travel to events during peak conference seasons (fall and spring) for on-site execution and coordination
- Manage vendor negotiations, timeline coordination, and cross-functional collaboration with Sales and other teams
This role requires a detail-oriented, scrappy builder who thrives in a fast-moving environment and can drive results without formal authority over Sales and other stakeholders.
Requirements:
- 3–5 years of experience running B2B or education events, including trade shows and hosted events
- Proven experience managing events budgets and negotiating with venues and vendors
- Ability to work effectively with Sales teams and drive follow-up without direct authority
- HubSpot or similar CRM experience, including lead capture and list building
- Strong project management skills with a track record of coordinating multiple contributors and meeting overlapping deadlines
- K–12 or EdTech experience is a plus but not required
- Must be U.S. based
