What We Are Looking For
As Events & Field Marketing Manager, you will own how Distyl shows up at intimate executive dinners, technical meetups, and Distyl-hosted events — and support the broader team on large-scale conference presence and strategic market visibility.
This is an execution role with real ownership. You'll manage events end-to-end, keep every detail on track, and make sure every event we touch runs flawlessly. You're eager to learn Distyl's technology and positioning deeply, and able to represent it accurately in the field. You thrive in early-stage environments where you're building the playbook, not running an established one.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and host executive dinners, roundtables, and founder dinners with qualified prospects in target verticals
- Organize and run Distyl-hosted events: hackathons, customer summits, technical meetups, and community gatherings
- Manage the full lifecycle of every owned event: invitation strategy, guest curation, logistics, and follow-up sequences
- Build repeatable playbooks for each event type that can scale across verticals and geographies
- Support large-scale conference presence and sponsorships — coordinating logistics and on-the-ground execution as directed
- Attend industry events and conferences as a Distyl representative, building relationships in the field
- Support the coordination of CEO and founder speaking opportunities, preparation, and on-site logistics
- Help identify the right stages and rooms that maximize founder visibility with enterprise buyers
- Support the development of relationships with analysts, journalists, and influencers in the enterprise AI space
- Coordinate press opportunities and liaise with PR resources as needed
- Create social content tied to events that drives engagement with enterprise buyers — not vanity metrics
- Track event performance and surface data and insights to leadership
- Execute on event strategy set by leadership in coordination with PMM
- Adapt event logistics and formats across verticals as Distyl expands
Who You Are
- 3–7 years of experience in field marketing, event management, or a hybrid role in enterprise software
- Proven track record planning and executing both intimate executive events and larger conference presence
- Experience with enterprise audiences — understands long sales cycles and how to engage C-suite buyers
- Eager to learn Distyl's technology and positioning deeply, and able to represent it accurately in the field
- A strong executor — you sweat the details, nothing falls through the cracks, and events run smoothly because of you
- Experienced across the event spectrum: from intimate executive dinners to large conference logistics
- Comfortable attending and representing Distyl at events independently when needed
- Organized and able to manage multiple event workstreams simultaneously without dropping balls
- Scrappy and resourceful — you can pull off a great event without a big budget or a large team
- Comfortable adapting your approach across different industries and buyer personas
- Collaborative and able to take direction while owning your workstreams fully
- Comfortable with 20–30% travel for events, conferences, and executive dinners
- Experience across multiple verticals (financial services, insurance, healthcare); early-stage startup experience; existing analyst or press relationships in the enterprise AI space is a plus
What We Offer
- The base salary range for this role is $130K – $180K, depending on experience, location, and level. In addition to base compensation, meaningful equity, along with a comprehensive benefits package
- 100% covered medical, dental, and vision for employees and dependents
- 401(k) with additional perks (e.g., commuter benefits, in‑office lunch)
- Access to state‑of‑the‑art models, generous usage of modern AI tools, and real‑world business problems
- Ownership of high‑impact projects across top enterprises
- A mission‑driven, fast‑moving culture that prizes curiosity, pragmatism, and excellence
Distyl has offices in San Francisco and New York. This role follows a hybrid collaboration model with 3+ days per week (Tuesday–Thursday) in‑office.
