About Tradespace

We’re a fast-growing startup backed by leading investors and trusted by top research institutions and global enterprises.

About the Role

We’re looking for a bold, creative, and highly organized Event Manager who doesn’t just plan events, they engineer experiences.

You’ll own the soup-to-nuts execution of events (from venue scouting to post-event ROI analysis), but your superpower will be thinking beyond that. You’ll reimagine how corporate events are done - turning every dinner, summit, or sponsorship into a moment people talk about long after it ends.

If you believe that great events blend data, storytelling, and surprise… and that “safe” is the enemy of “remarkable,” this is your playground.

You’ll report to the Head of Marketing and collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Success to craft experiences that build community, accelerate deals, and shape the Tradespace brand.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of all Tradespace conferences, field events, virtual events and customer events
  • Partner with Head of Marketing to define event goals (pipeline, relationship-building, thought leadership) and ensure every dollar spent ties back to revenue impact
  • Measure event performance (attendance, engagement, pipeline influence) and turn data into actionable insights
  • Scout and negotiate venues, manage vendors, and oversee logistics from concept through post-event debrief
  • Build creative concepts and “surprise & delight” moments that make each event unforgettable
  • Collaborate with the broader marketing team to develop pre/post event campaigns, nurture workflows, and content extensions from events
  • Manage budgets, timelines, and internal communications like a pro, but never lose sight of the big creative “why” behind the event
  • Serve as the creative heartbeat for our event presence, pushing the envelope on what a startup in IP tech can do
  • What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of experience in event marketing, experiential, or field marketing roles
  • A passion for creating experiences that connect people and drive business outcomes
  • A creative streak - you’re the type who’s constantly taking photos of great brand activations or sketching ideas for your next big concept
  • A bias toward action: when others see a logistics nightmare, you see a checklist
  • Strong project management skills; you can juggle multiple events and competing deadlines with ease
  • Comfort working cross-functionally with executives, sales, and vendors
  • You think strategically but execute tactically - you’re as comfortable brainstorming a theme as you are loading name tags at check-in
  • You love startups, crave ownership, and thrive in ambiguity
  • Bonus Points

  • Experience in SaaS, B2B, or legal tech
  • Familiarity with Salesforce, Marketo, or similar tools
  • Comfort working in a high-growth, early-stage environment
  • Why join Tradespace?

  • Make an Impact – Play a key role in an early-stage, fast-growing company shaping the future of IP management.
  • Career Growth – Join as an early sales leader with the opportunity to influence strategy and scale a winning team.
  • Top-Tier Backing – Work with a company supported by premier investors from Silicon Valley and New York.
  • Collaborative Culture – Be part of a smart, driven, and passionate team committed to innovation and success.
  • Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401k
  • Take what you need vacation policy
  • Generous parental leave for both primary and secondary caregivers
  • Salary Range: $130K - $150K
