Zapier is looking for a Field Marketing Manager (Third-Party Events & Partnerships) to build and scale our presence across industry conferences, partner-led events, and externally hosted experiences.

In this role, you’ll own the strategy, execution, and optimization of all third-party event motions, including sponsorships, partner activations, and programs that empower teams across Zapier to participate effectively in external events.

This is a high-visibility role that blends thoughtful program design with hands-on execution. You’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Product Marketing, Brand, and Partner teams to ensure Zapier shows up with clarity, quality, and impact, and that third-party events meaningfully influence awareness, relationships, and pipeline.

If you love turning conferences, partner events, and external platforms into high-impact moments for prospects and customers, this role is for you.

• You have 6–8+ years of field marketing or event marketing experience in a B2B/enterprise environment.

• You have deep experience owning third-party event strategy, from evaluating opportunities and negotiating sponsorships to designing presence and leading on-site orchestration.

• You understand how external events ladder into pipeline creation and acceleration, and you’re comfortable partnering with Sales and RevOps to connect activity to outcomes.

• You’ve built or operationalized repeatable playbooks that help companies show up consistently at external events.

• You can identify new opportunities (industry events, partner activations, speaking slots) based on market signals, ICP needs, and GTM priorities.

• You’re an exceptional communicator in a remote-first environment, able to drive clarity through documentation, async updates, and structured planning artifacts.

• You thrive as a high-accountability individual contributor and enjoy collaborating across functions without needing authority.

• Develop and manage the annual third-party event and sponsorship strategy aligned to GTM and pipeline priorities.

• Evaluate event opportunities using criteria based on audience quality, persona fit, cost, impact potential, and measurement.

• Negotiate sponsorships and build activation plans that maximize visibility and convert interest into sales engagement.

• Create repeatable playbooks that allow Sales, PMM, and other internal teams to participate in external events with consistency and quality.

• Build a partner event enablement program in partnership with Partner Marketing: tooling, templates, messaging, and processes that empower partners to represent Zapier effectively at their events.

• Work with the Channel team to operationalize MDF opportunities, co-marketing plays, and partner-hosted events.

• Define success metrics across attendance quality, meetings created, influenced pipeline, and brand engagement.

• Produce thoughtful pre-event briefs and post-event recaps synthesizing insights, results, and strategic recommendations.

• Use data to guide future investment decisions and refine the third-party event mix.

• Collaborate with Sales, PMM, Brand, RevOps, and Partnerships to align on regional priorities, personas, and goals.

• Coordinate follow-up motions with Sales to ensure momentum translates into conversations and deals.

• Represent third-party event insights in GTM planning cycles and cross-functional reviews.

• Manage vendors, logistics, and external partners to ensure high-quality delivery of every element of Zapier’s presence.

• Lead on-site operations as needed, bringing consistency and a strong brand presence to all external events.
