Field Marketing Lead
MakiPeople
About Maki
Maki is building the future of HR and talent acquisition technology. As we scale our sales‑led motion and expand into enterprise accounts, we're looking for a Field Marketing Lead to transform how we generate pipeline through events and field programs.
Location: London or New York or Paris
Type: Full‑time
The Role
We're hiring our first dedicated Field Marketing Lead to own event‑led pipeline generation and build scalable field programs that drive qualified meetings, opportunities, and revenue. This isn't about logistics or brand awareness, it's about creating a predictable pipeline machine.
You'll be the single owner of Maki's field marketing strategy, turning conferences, proprietary events, and regional meetups into an effective pipeline channel.
What You'll Do
Own Event Strategy & Execution

Select and manage Maki's presence at major HR and TA conferences (Unleash, RecFest, Gartner, etc.) based on ICP fit and pipeline potential
Negotiate sponsorship packages and manage end‑to‑end execution
Build repeatable playbooks for pre‑event (target account selection, meeting setting), on‑site (lead capture, hosted sessions), and post‑event (follow‑up sequences, BDR plays) activities

Build Proprietary Events

Create and run a calendar of Maki‑owned events, executive breakfasts, private dinners, roundtables, and small‑format meetups with HR and TA leaders in key cities
Design intimate, high‑value touchpoints that generate enterprise pipeline

Drive Pipeline & ABM Orchestration

Own follow‑up orchestration for all event leads, including segmentation, routing rules, sequences, and handover to BDRs/AEs
Design ABM plays around events for top target accounts
Work closely with Sales to ensure every event drives measurable meetings and opportunities

Collaborate Cross‑Functionally

Partner with Digital Marketing to create strong digital layers for every event (landing pages, nurture emails, paid amplification, content repurposing)
Coordinate with BDRs and AEs on pre‑event outreach and post‑event conversion
Feed field insights back into messaging and campaigns

Own the Numbers

Build and maintain dashboards tracking cost per lead, cost per opportunity, pipeline generated, and conversion by event type and segment
Make data‑driven decisions about what events to invest in and which formats work best
Report on field marketing ROI monthly

Who You Are

2–4 years of B2B SaaS marketing experience, ideally in field marketing, demand generation, or campaigns (not brand marketing)
Sales‑led motion experience: You've worked in a true ABM environment with mid‑market or enterprise deals, long sales cycles, and multi‑threaded opportunities
Series A–C startup experience (or Series D within the last 4 years) where you had to create pipeline programs without relying on a huge brand doing the work for you
Operator mindset: You've personally built and run programs end‑to‑end, not just supported someone else's plan
Hands‑on with tools: Comfortable working in HubSpot, Salesforce, and basic marketing tools; able to build reports and dashboards
Performance DNA: You think in terms of meetings, opportunities, and pipeline, not just attendance or engagement metrics
Location: Based in London or New York, or willing to relocate

Success in Your First 6 Months

Clear event calendar with defined pipeline targets per event
Repeatable playbooks for 3+ event types (tier‑1 conferences, proprietary dinners, regional meetups)
Event ROI dashboard live and reviewed monthly
80% of event leads followed up within 48 hours with structured sequences
At least 2 proprietary events executed with 20+ target accounts attending
