Director - Events & Field Marketing

Coastal is entering a bigger stage of growth, and we’re looking for a Director of Events & Field Marketing to match that ambition (level can change to Senior Director depending on experience). Reporting to the SVP of Marketing, you will build a strategy that ties to overarching objectives and ensure seamless execution of experiences that drive demand, accelerate deal cycles, and strengthen our Salesforce and Snowflake partnerships — all while strategically scaling the function for continued growth. Our events portfolio spans Salesforce and Snowflake ecosystem conferences, hosted executive experiences, industry events, customer advisory boards, curated social engagements, and more.

Success in this role requires strong cross-functional communication, the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where excellence and measurable impact are non-negotiable, and a disciplined approach to prioritization and scale. Just as important is a collaborative, positive mindset and a genuine desire to build alongside others.

• Ensure events are well-coordinated, flawlessly executed, and deliver exceptional attendee experiences while meeting defined objectives
• Align event programming with broader marketing campaigns and priorities to amplify impact
• Develop sponsorship packages that attract partner co-investment in Coastal-hosted events
• Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing events and field marketing team
• Leverage AI and automation to improve scalability, efficiency, and performance across the events function

Experience/Skills Required

• 10+ years of experience running events, preferably within technology or B2B organizations
• 3+ years of people management experience, with a demonstrated ability to build and scale high-performing teams
• Understanding of the Salesforce and Snowflake ecosystems—experience working directly with Salesforce is preferred
• Proven track record of driving measurable pipeline and revenue impact through events
• Executive presence with strong written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and composed under pressure
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with operational excellence and a meticulous eye for quality
• Proactive problem solver with a solutions-oriented approach
• Collaborative team player with a no-task-too-big-or-too-small mindset
• Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Proficiency in Salesforce reporting
• Proficiency in Google Workspace
