[Hiring] Field Events Lead @PaceMate

Role Description

We are currently seeking a Field Events Lead who owns PaceMate's conference, event, and sponsorship portfolio end to end — from budget and site planning through booth logistics, on-site execution, and post-event reporting. This role brings deep, hands-on experience running the full lifecycle of conferences, sponsorships, executive roundtables, webinars, and internal sales meetings, and is trusted to set and manage budgets, make vendor and logistics decisions, and represent PaceMate at events with minimal oversight.

This role is expected to own its calendar of conferences, roundtables, webinars, and executive and sales meetings, and to protect every deadline within it — from a sponsorship contract deadline to a shipping cutoff for booth.

• Cross-Functional Coordination
  • Ensure all event-related projects are tracked in ClickUp.
  • Maintain and organize the PaceMate marketing projects in ClickUp and SharePoint so event assets, templates, and vendor records are current and easy to locate.
