The role

You'll be our first field marketer and own how Applied Compute shows up in person, from executive dinners to major conferences. You'll work directly with our account executives, GTM and design teams, and Head of Operations to turn each program into pipeline, and build the playbook the team scales from.

What you'll do

• Own the field calendar. Choose the events and formats worth our time, and run each one end to end, including budget, venue, invites, staffing, and follow up.

• Run an account based motion. Work with sales to get the right accounts in the right rooms, and plan the before, during, and after so every conversation has a next step.

• Own the number. Set pipeline targets for field programs, track conversion from invite to opportunity, and tell us which programs to run again.

• Be in the room. Travel to our events, represent Applied Compute, and make the call when plans change.

• Bring the field back. Share what you hear from buyers with product, sales, and marketing.

• Build systems that scale. Create the templates, playbooks, and CRM tracking that make the motion repeatable.

• Make every room feel like us. Work with design on booths, signage, swag, and collateral that look like Applied Compute.

What we're looking for

• 8+ years in field, event, or account based marketing supporting enterprise sales, including 2+ years leading a team, ideally at an infrastructure, developer tools, or AI company

• A leader who wants to be hands on again. You'll run programs yourself at the start and build the team as we grow

• Field programs that produced pipeline you can point to

• Hands on experience with account based programs and using intent data to prioritize

• Strong organization. You can run programs in several cities at once without anything slipping

• Good taste in what makes an event worth attending

• Fluency with Salesforce or HubSpot, Luma, and AI tools

• Willingness to travel
