As a Events & Field Marketing Manager at Angus Reid Group, you will:

• Build and maintain detailed event plans, deadlines, checklists, budgets, and responsibilities across multiple concurrent events, tracking dependencies, following up with contributors, and flagging risks early with practical recommendations.
• Own event logistics and vendor coordination, including venues, catering, audiovisual, registration, accommodations, transportation, booths, signage, merchandise, collateral, shipping, speaker logistics, technical checks, rehearsals, setup, troubleshooting, and teardown.
• Deliver a high-quality attendee experience and complete event closeout by ensuring communications and production details are accurate, reconciling expenses and invoices, organizing event assets, coordinating handoffs to sales and marketing, and documenting lessons learned.
  
  

Angus Reid Group's next Events & Field Marketing Manager will bring:

• 4+ years of relevant experience in corporate events, conferences, or trade show management, ideally in B2B technology or professional services.
• Hands-on experience independently coordinating multiple events, vendors, deadlines, budgets, attendee communications, registration platforms, project management tools, and spreadsheets.

• A practical, solutions-oriented mindset with the judgment to work through incomplete direction, ask focused questions, anticipate risks, and recommend clear next steps.
• Strong organization and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several events at once, adapt quickly as priorities shift, stay composed under pressure, and deliver accurate work on time and within approved budgets.
• A collaborative, accountable approach: you own outcomes, communicate early, follow through on commitments, and close the loop without repeated reminders.
  
  

For product, engineering, or technical roles:

• Experience managing end-to-end event execution from initial planning through final reconciliation, including schedules, vendors, budgets, attendee communications, event materials, on-site delivery, and post-event handoffs.
• Experience supporting field marketing or events in B2B technology, SaaS, or professional services environments is an asset.
• Sound judgment around quality and accuracy, with a consistent habit of checking names, titles, schedules, locations, quantities, budgets, production details, and vendor commitments before release or confirmation.
• Comfort working through ambiguity, documenting decisions, coordinating across sales, marketing, leadership, design, content, and vendors, and keeping stakeholders informed as plans evolve.
