Engine - Manager of Field Events, Growth

• Engine is the travel and spend management platform transforming how businesses move. We're cash flow positive, scaling rapidly, and backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira — and our 2026 growth targets are the most ambitious we've ever set. Field is one of the levers that will make or break that plan. Many of our buyers don't live online. They're on job sites, in dispatch offices, and on the road. Field is how we reach them, and the pipeline it generates consistently converts faster, expands more, and churns less than what comes through any other channel. • We've also made significant investments into our partnership with city and regional DMOs — a meaningful bet on destination partnerships as a repeatable engine for pipeline. This role owns getting full value from these relationships and proving the model so we can scale it to other markets across the country. • What You'll Own • End-to-end field program ownership: Strategy and execution of Engine's full field marketing program including event selection, audience targeting and recruiting, content and run-of-show, on-site execution, pre and post-event follow-up, and pipeline reporting. You own the calendar and you own the number. • Traditional field events: Customer dinners, sporting event suites and activations, and regional roadshows. Partner with go-to-market leadership to align event mix to pipeline targets and territory priorities. • Experimental in-person activations: Identify, test, and scale unconventional channels for getting Engine in front of buyers, eg. job site visits, office drop-ins, and other activations that meet our ICP where they actually are. Bring a test-and-learn mindset: hypothesis, MDE, post-event readout, decision to kill or scale. • DMO and destination partnerships: Own Engine's relationship with regional travel organizations and partners, then build the playbook to expand the model to additional destinations. • Pipeline accountability: Net-new logo influence, opportunity acceleration, and customer expansion sourced or influenced by field. Deliver clean post-event reporting to sales, growth, and executive leadership. • Sales partnership and enablement: Tight alignment with AEs, AMs, and sales leadership on account targeting, pre-event prep, and post-event follow-up. • Team leadership: Manage and develop a team of two while staying hands-on as a senior IC. Set standards for program quality, raise the bar on creative, and create career pathing as the function grows. • The Problems You’ll Solve • This team operates at the intersection of speed and rigor. You'll be expected to ship fast, learn faster, and build the playbooks that turn one-off wins into repeatable programs. Some of the challenges you'll inherit: • Scaling what's working: we've seen early signal from a limited field program, and now we need to sharpen event selection, prospect recruiting, and pipeline conversion to turn it into a repeatable engine. • Reaching buyers who aren't online: much of our ICP lives on job sites, in dispatch offices, and on the road, and figuring out how to consistently get Engine in front of them is the core puzzle. • Separating signal from noise in experimental activations: we have appetite to test unconventional channels like job site visits, airport pop-ups, and solicitation, but we need rigor on what's worth scaling vs. killing after one run. • Tightening the field-to-pipeline loop: pre-event targeting, post-event follow-up, and clean attribution back to opportunities all need to be consistent practice, not one-off heroics. • Building the bench: managing and developing a team of two while staying hands-on as an IC, and laying the groundwork for how field marketing scales as Engine grows. • $115,600—$160,000 USD • The Engine Edge: Perks & CompensationWe believe in rewarding great work with great benefits: • Compensation: Competitive base pay tied to role and experience, with opportunities for bonuses, commissions, and equity. • Benefits: Check out our full list at engine.com/culture. • Environments for Success: Different roles have different needs in terms of the environments that drive success which is why we have a hybrid-hub model.
