Event Marketing Intern (Project-Based)

About the Role
We're hiring an Event Marketing Intern to be the face of our company at trade shows — engaging attendees, qualifying interest on the spot, and converting conversations into meetings for our Account Executives. This is a hands-on, quota-driven role built for someone who wants real pipeline-generation experience before stepping into a full-time sales career.
You'll spend event days on your feet, working the booth, striking up conversations with strangers, and identifying who's a genuine fit for our product. Between events, you'll support outreach, follow-up, and pre-event campaign work. If you like people, like selling, and want proof you can perform in front of a crowd and on a call, this is where you get it.

What You'll Do
At Events (core focus)

• Own booth engagement — approach attendees, start conversations, and represent the company with energy and confidence
• Qualify prospects on the spot against our ICP (persona fit, need, timing)
• Run or support engagement formats (roundtables, fireside chats, icebreaker activities) that drive quality conversations
• Track daily conversation volume, lead quality, and meetings booked against targets
• Hit a daily conversation quota per event day

Pre-Event

• Support SDR call campaigns, and lead list building
• Assist with marketing campaigns and promotion tied to upcoming events

Post-Event

• Own timely follow-up with leads gathered at the booth — move qualified conversations into booked meetings
• Report on funnel metrics: ICP fit rate, positive engagements, meetings booked, SQLs
• Feed learnings back into the next event's playbook

What Success Looks Like

• At least 4 meetings booked and converted into qualified opportunities post-event
• Consistent conversation volume per event day
• Strong ICP concentration among booth engagements
• A growing track record of leads you personally sourced and moved through the funnel

Who You Are

• Recent university graduate (or graduating soon) who wants a career in sales or sales development
• Genuinely outgoing — comfortable approaching strangers, holding a room, and thinking on your feet
• Organized enough to manage follow-up and reporting without things falling through the cracks
• Resilient — comfortable with rejection and quota pressure; sees a "no" as part of the job, not a setback
• Demonstrates strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to escalate unresolved issues with clear documentation.
• A self-starter who wants ownership of outcomes, not just task execution
• Based in the US and able to travel to event locations as needed (travel expenses covered)

Why This Role

• Direct mentorship from senior sales/marketing team members
• Full-funnel exposure — outreach, live qualification, conversion, and reporting
• A strong stepping stone into a full-time SDR or sales role, with potential for extension or conversion based on performance
• Project-based structure with clear goals, clear timelines, and measurable outcomes you can point to in future interviews

Pay Transparency Notice: Depending on your work location, the target hourly rate for this position can range as detailed below.

$25 USD

Travel & Accommodation Policy

• Travel to & from Venue: All round-trip transportation to and from event locations—including flights, trains, or mileage reimbursement for personal vehicles—will be fully covered and arranged by the company.
  
• Lodging & Stay: Hotel accommodation for the entire duration of each required event trip will be fully covered and booked by the company.
  
• On-Ground Expenses: Local transportation (such as rideshares or shuttles to and from the event venue) and daily meal allowances during event travel are fully reimbursable
