About the Role 

We’re seeking a Senior Event Marketing Manager to own the end‑to‑end strategy and flawless execution of both third‑party (industry conferences, trade shows, partner events) and first‑party (LINQ‑hosted) events. You will design memorable experiences that drive engagement across the full funnel, create qualified pipeline for Sales, and strengthen LINQ’s brand presence in the K–12 market. This is a highly cross‑functional role collaborating closely with Sales, BDR, Product Marketing, Content, Customer Marketing, and Operations. 

What You'll Be Doing: 

• Build the event strategy & calendar across third‑party and LINQ‑hosted programs aligned to ICP, regional priorities, product focus, and revenue goals. 

• Own end‑to‑end program execution: pre‑event planning, audience acquisition, on‑site experience, post‑event follow‑up, and reporting. 

• Design full‑funnel campaigns around each event (awareness → registration → attendance → follow‑up → opportunity → revenue), integrating email, paid, web, content, and social. 

• Drive pipeline impact: set targets by event tier, orchestrate Sales/BDR plays, and ensure timely lead capture, routing, and follow‑up.
