Marketing Events Manager

About the Role

Volta is scaling its event presence fast - from major industry stages to a small number of far more targeted conversations with the anchor accounts we’re pursuing. This role owns that calendar end to end - strategy, budget, and vendor accountability - so our executives walk into every room prepared and come out of it with a real next step, not just a good conversation.

You’ll report to our Director of Marketing and be Volta’s first dedicated events hire - converting the attention we’ve built since launch, and the fixed timeline of our flagship events, into pipeline from day one. This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives on managing logistics, budgets, and details while keeping the big picture in mind.

What You Will Be Doing

Event Strategy & Ownership

• Own the 12-month event calendar - logistics, sponsorships, speaking submissions, and booth strategy.
• Lead planning for our flagship-tier events, including major industry conferences and capstone moments on the calendar.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing leadership to define event goals, target audiences, and success metrics before each event, not just report results after the fact.
• Stay current on industry event trends and formats to keep Volta’s presence fresh and competitive.
• Manage swag, collateral, and booth assets consistent with Volta’s brand guidelines.

Vendor & Partner Management

• Build and manage relationships with venues, event-production vendors, and broader industry partners.
• Own the events budget - vendor negotiation, sponsorship-tier decisions, and cost tracking.

On-Site Execution & Pipeline Impact

• Own on-site execution - staffing, signage, and attendee experience - working directly alongside any contracted event-production support, not delegating it away.
• Convert event presence into real pipeline for our leadership team’s small number of sequenced, high-value conversations - this is a targeted-relationship motion, not a volume one.
• Coordinate executive logistics for speaking engagements - briefing prep, talk-track alignment, and on-site support for our leadership team.
• Own post-event lead capture and handoff for nurture.
• Report event performance, pipeline impact, and ROI back into our broader marketing plan.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in B2B tech field marketing or events, ideally within infrastructure, cloud, or enterprise SaaS.
• Experience managing external event-production agencies or execution vendors - holding them accountable for delivery while owning strategy in-house.
• A track record owning sponsorship negotiations and event budgets at meaningful scale.
• Comfort operating with minimal existing infrastructure in a fast-moving, pre-Series-B environment
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
