Experiential Marketing Manager

Join Second Front Systems (2F) as an Experiential Marketing Manager, where you'll lead our global events program and create unforgettable experiences that drive results. You'll design and execute our annual symposium, happy hours, trade shows, and more, all while connecting activations to pipeline and measurable outcomes. This is a unique opportunity for someone with a bold, unconventional approach to marketing and a passion for creating lasting impressions.

• Lead the global events program and create unforgettable experiences that enhance the brand's visibility.
• Design and execute the full portfolio of live presence, including annual symposiums, trade shows, and executive engagements.
• Manage the strategy, budget, and execution for the flagship annual symposium, ensuring measurable outcomes.
• Willingness to travel and a hospitality instinct that shows up under pressure
• The taste to know the difference between weird-for-weird's-sake and weird-that-works—and the discipline to land the plane every time
• Bold, unconventional ideas you actually shipped—not decks of concepts that died in committee. We want to see the stunt, the activation, the giveaway that worked because it was different
• 5+ years running experiential, events, or field marketing—ideally including large-scale (250+) flagship events
• Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment with tight timelines and high standards
• End-to-end ownership: strategy, budget, logistics, vendor management, and measurement
• Existing relationships and fluency within the defense tech, govtech, or national security ecosystem. (Highly, highly preferred.)
• A portfolio of moments people still remember—and a sense for how those moments connected back to the business
