About
the role To power Stainless in its next phase of growth, we’re looking for a founding Field Marketing Lead to help turn targeted programs and events into real pipeline, closed revenue, and be a great partner to our sales team. You'll work closely with our sales teams to create memorable experiences—from intimate executive dinners to conference activations—that demonstrate Stainless’s value and position Stainless as the API partner of choice for enterprise companies. You'll collaborate across GTM to ensure every event drives meaningful business outcomes. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, brings creativity to event strategy, and obsesses over the details that transform good events into exceptional ones.
What you'll do Develop and execute a comprehensive field marketing strategy, including executive dinners, customer panels, networking receptions, and conferences. Partner closely with GTM leadership to identify target accounts, align on event goals, and ensure programming resonates with technical founders, engineering leaders, and executives at enterprise companies. Manage end-to-end event execution including venue selection, vendor management, invitation strategy, registration tracking, and on-site logistics. Collaborate with SDRs to drive event attendance and ensure timely post-event follow-up that converts attendees into qualified pipeline. Build and maintain field marketing dashboards that track leading indicators (meetings booked, attendance rates) and lagging metrics (pipeline generated, closed-won revenue). Create compelling event content, promotional copy, and post-event communications that reinforce Stainless’ brand and value proposition. Manage field marketing budget, optimizing spend based on performance data.
