Remote Senior NA Logistics Government Marketing Manager Vendor Management Plane Customer Engagement

Requirements

• 5+ years running experiential, events, or field marketing—ideally including large-scale (250+ people) flagship events. • A portfolio of moments people still remember—and a sense for how those moments connected back to the business. • Bold, unconventional ideas you actually shipped—not decks of concepts that died in committee. We want to see the stunt, the activation, and the moment that worked because they were different. • End-to-end ownership: strategy, budget, logistics, vendor management, and measurement. • Existing relationships and fluency within the defense tech, govtech, or national security ecosystem. (Highly, highly preferred.) • The taste to know the difference between weird-for-weird's-sake and weird-that-works—and the discipline to land the plane every time. • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with tight timelines and high standards. • Willingness to travel and a hospitality instinct that shows up under pressure. • The base salary for this position will fall between $120,000-150,000 Your ultimate compensation will be determined by professional background, technical proficiency, seniority, and regional cost factors. Furthermore, this opportunity includes potential eligibility for equity awards and discretionary bonuses, rounding out a comprehensive total rewards offering. • SUCCESS AT 2F LOOKS LIKE: • Viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth • Having a bias toward action and tangible, measurable results • Striving to be both compassionate and direct with your feedback • Being team-oriented and inclusive with your action

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, budget, and execution for 2F's flagship annual symposium, from concept through day-of operations and post-event measurement. • Build experiences that last. Design the highlight moments—the unexpected venue, the activation with a line around the block, the standout swag people actually keep, the stunt that earns its way onto someone's LinkedIn without us asking—that leaves a lasting impression of 2F in people's minds. • Generate fresh, counterculture, off-the-wall concepts that make 2F the standout in a crowded, conservative market—and have the rigor to pull them off. • Run our happy hours, socials, and executive dinners—the high-touch engagements where deals and partnerships actually move—and reinvent the format so they don't feel like everyone else's. • Manage sporting and action-sports activations and suite hospitality, including racing partnerships and VIP programs. • Lead trade show presence and large-scale booth activations: design direction, vendor management, logistics, staffing, and lead capture—with a creative point of view that refuses the default. • Build customer engagement programs that deepen relationships across our customer and partner base. • Partner with sales and demand gen to connect activations to pipeline and measurable outcomes. • Manage external vendors, venues, agencies, and production partners—pushing them past their comfort zone and holding them to deadlines, budgets, and our quality bar. • Bring an ecosystem-first instinct: lead with customers and partners and their wins, not with us.
