About the role

We're building a modern, measurable acquisition marketing engine at IES, and events are a core demand channel within it. We're looking for a Field & Events Marketing Manager to own our events programme end to end: both the industry expos and conferences we attend and a growing programme of owned events.

This is a step up from a traditional events role. We don't want events run as logistics with no line of sight to results. Every event you run will have clear objectives, a lead-capture plan, structured follow-up, and reporting on its contribution to pipeline. You'll be the person who turns our events from a cost line into a measurable source of qualified opportunities.

As the programme matures, there's a clear path to own events as a strategic pillar of the acquisition strategy; shaping which events we run, designing the owned-events programme, and tying it into our account-based and wider campaign activity.

What you'll do

• Own the end-to-end events calendar (expos, conferences and owned events) from planning through delivery to follow-up and reporting.
• Set clear objectives, target audiences and success metrics for every event before it runs, and report on outcomes afterwards.
• Build and run owned events that deepen relationships with target accounts and generate quality pipeline.
• Own lead capture and handover for every event, working with RevOps to ensure leads are tracked, tagged and passed to sales within the agreed SLA.
• Report on event performance and ROI (leads, meetings, pipeline contribution and cost per outcome) feeding results into the wider marketing dashboard.
• Manage event logistics end to end: venues, suppliers, stands, budgets, collateral, and on-the-day delivery.
• Collaborate across the team; with digital for event promotion, with content for event assets and messaging, and with sales and the Lead Generation Executive on target-account invitations and follow-ups.
• Manage event budgets, track spend against outcomes, and continually improve the mix based on what delivers.

What you'll bring

• Demonstrable experience running owned events not only expos and trade shows.
• Data-literate and outcome-focused: a track record of setting objectives, capturing leads, and measuring and reporting on event ROI and pipeline contribution.
• Solid experience in B2B field or events marketing, ideally in a considered, multi-stakeholder environment.
• Strong project and stakeholder management.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail, with the commercial mindset to prioritise events that drive pipeline.
• A collaborative, self-starting approach.

Why Join Us

• Join a global climate-tech leader making a real sustainability impact.
• Be part of an ambitious, fast-moving marketing team.
• Shape and grow a strategic events programme with measurable business impact.
