Perplexity AI is seeking a Field Marketing Manager to design and scale programs that convert in-person engagement into enterprise pipeline. You will manage a portfolio of third-party sponsorships and Perplexity-led field events, working as an equal partner on a two-person field marketing team.
Key responsibilities include co-owning field marketing strategy aligned with company priorities, target accounts, and pipeline goals. You will evaluate and activate conference sponsorships, negotiate packages, coordinate speakers, and build pre- and post-event motions to maximize ROI. You'll own high-impact owned programs including executive dinners, vertical roundtables, regional roadshows, customer workshops, and hackathons.
You will partner closely with Sales on target-account lists, meeting goals, on-site execution, and post-event follow-up. You'll represent Perplexity at conferences and events, leading on-site execution including messaging, booth experience, executive participation, and customer meetings. You will build integrated campaigns across Product Marketing, Growth, Lifecycle, Social, Comms, and Partnerships to extend events through targeted outreach and digital programs.
End-to-end execution ownership includes managing agencies, vendors, venues, budgets, timelines, production, and staffing while maintaining high attendee experience standards. You will instrument the full path from invitation through registration, attendance, meetings, opportunities, and revenue—tracking cost per attendee, target-account engagement, sourced and influenced pipeline, deal acceleration, and program ROI.
You will build the field operating system: planning cadence, intake processes, event tiers, checklists, reporting, and retrospectives to scale the program and make data-driven investment decisions.
Required: 5+ years field and event marketing experience in B2B SaaS or enterprise technology. Proven track record building and scaling portfolios with third-party sponsorships, conferences, and company-led programs with measurable pipeline results. Versatile, hands-on operator comfortable with strategy, sponsorship evaluation, campaign planning, event production, executive management, on-site execution, and performance analysis. Strong event planning skills across intimate executive programs and larger conferences. Collaborative, low-ego partner who can divide a large portfolio and step into peer programs. Excellent relationship builder with senior executives, customers, prospects, Sales teams, vendors, and cross-functional partners. Analytically rigorous with experience setting targets, managing budgets, working with CRM data, and reporting pipeline. Highly organized, resourceful, calm under pressure. Willingness to travel frequently.
