Own the company’s presence at industry events across North America, including event research, vendor negotiation, logistics, on-site execution, team preparation, pipeline generation, campaigns, budgeting, KPI tracking, and post-event reporting. Partner with sales, marketing, and product to convert events into meetings, opportunities, and revenue. The role requires frequent travel and hands-on event management in a fast-paced B2B technology environment.
Wing is seeking elite talent to join M32 AI (backed by top-tier Silicon Valley VCs), dedicated to building agentic AI for traditional service businesses. Think of it like a startup within a corporate: fast moving and agile, with the stability of a corporate, and zero bureaucracy.
If you’re driven by challenge and eager to make a significant impact in a high-caliber role, this is the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
We're hiring a Events Manager to own our presence at industry events, tradeshows, and conferences across North America. You'll source the right shows, run them end to end, and be the person on the ground making sure every event drives real pipeline.
This is a hands-on role for someone 1-4 years into their career who loves logistics, thrives in fast-paced environments, and gets a kick out of pulling off a great event. You'll partner closely with sales, marketing, and product to turn booth space and badge scans into meetings, opportunities, and closed revenue.
Why This Role
You'll own a high-visibility function from day one. Every event is a chance to shape how customers, prospects, and the industry see us. If you want to grow fast, take real ownership, and build a portfolio of events you're genuinely proud of, this is the seat for you.
What You'll Do
- Source and prioritize events. Research, evaluate, and recommend tradeshows, conferences, and industry events that align with our ICP and revenue goals. Own a rolling 12-month event calendar.
- Negotiate and contract. Manage relationships with event organizers, vendors, and venues. Negotiate sponsorships, booth space, speaking slots, and add-ons to stretch every dollar.
- Plan and execute end to end. Own every detail, including booth design and shipping, swag, collateral, lead capture, badge scanners, AV, catering, hotel blocks, and travel logistics for the team.
- Be the on-site point of contact. Attend every event in person. Set up and tear down booths, troubleshoot in real time, and make sure our presence looks sharp from start to finish.
- Prep the team. Brief attending team members on objectives, talking points, target accounts, and logistics. Make sure everyone knows where to be, when, and what to do.
- Drive pipeline with sales. Partner with sales to book pre-show meetings, run dinners and customer events on-site, and ensure every lead is captured, qualified, and followed up on quickly.
- Run pre- and post-event campaigns. Work with marketing on email outreach, landing pages, paid promotion, and social to drive booth traffic and meeting bookings before the show.
- Own the budget. Manage event spend across the full calendar. Track costs, forecast accurately, flag risks early, and make smart trade-off decisions when priorities shift.
- Define KPIs and report on results. Set clear KPIs for each event (leads, meetings, pipeline, ROI) and build clean post-event reports that show what worked, what didn't, and how to improve next time.
What We're Looking For
- 1 to 4 years of experience in event marketing, field marketing, or event coordination, ideally B2B or tech.
- A track record of organizing events end to end, even at smaller scale. You can point to shows you ran and what came out of them.
- Experience managing an events budget. You know how to forecast, track spend, and make trade-offs to maximize ROI.
- Comfortable defining KPIs and building reports that connect event activity to pipeline and revenue.
- Genuinely into AI and using it to work smarter. You can show us specific projects, tools, or workflows where you've used AI to automate or improve your work as an events marketer (research, vendor outreach, post-event reporting, content drafting, lead enrichment, etc.). This is a must, not a nice to have.
- Familiarity with HubSpot is sufficient on the CRM side; we'll take care of the rest.
- Strong project management instincts. You stay on top of timelines, budgets, vendors, and dozens of moving pieces without dropping the ball.
- Comfortable negotiating with vendors and event organizers to get the best terms.
- Excellent communicator, written and in person. You can rally a team, brief executives, and chat up prospects on a show floor with equal ease.
- Calm under pressure. Things go wrong at events; you problem-solve on your feet.
- Willing and able to travel 30 to 50% during peak event seasons across North America, with potential European travel as we expand.
Location and Work Authorization
- Atlanta (ATL), Boston (BOS), Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD/MDW), Dallas (DFW), Denver (DEN), Detroit (DTW), Houston (IAH), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), Minneapolis (MSP), New York (JFK/EWR/LGA), Philadelphia (PHL), Phoenix (PHX), San Francisco (SFO), Seattle (SEA), Washington DC (IAD/DCA).
- Toronto (YYZ), Vancouver (YVR), Calgary (YYC), Montreal (YUL).
- Experience with event tools like Cvent, Splash, Bizzabo, or Goldcast.
- Experience working with international events or vendors.
- Background in B2B SaaS or a similar fast-paced tech environment.
This is a fully remote role open to candidates based in the US or Canada. Because travel is core to the job, we need you to live within roughly an hour of a major airport hub with frequent direct flights. This keeps travel costs reasonable and gets you to events without painful layovers.
Qualifying US hubs include (but aren't limited to):
Qualifying Canadian hubs:
If you're near another major hub with strong direct connectivity to the cities where industry events typically happen (Las Vegas, Orlando, San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, Austin), we'd love to hear from you.
Work authorization: You must have the right to work in the country where you live. We are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
Nice to have
Note: due to the seniority of this role, you are exempt from completing any initial assessments sent to you via email. If you do receive them, simply ignore them.

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
