Field Marketing Manager, Sponsorship & Experiential — United Kingdom

### **About Us** Temporal is an open source programming model that can simplify code, make applications more reliable, and help developers focus on the important things like delivering features faster. We are on a mission to be the reliable foundation of every developer’s toolbox, and are building the team that will make that happen. Our values guide us —they are present in how we show up, make decisions, and work together to make an impact. We’re curious, driven, collaborative, genuine and humble. Temporal is growing and we are looking for those who share our values, challenge 'standard' thinking, and want to influence our future. If you have a passion for improving the developer experience, building world-class open-source software and communities, and want to be a part of our amazing team, we'd love to hear from you! **Summary:** Temporal has made a landmark investment: we are now the front-of-shirt sponsor for Crystal Palace FC in the Premier League — one of the world’s most-watched football competitions, broadcast into over 900 million homes across 189 countries. This is a category-defining moment for a developer infrastructure company, and we need a world-class marketer to make sure every pound of that investment returns tenfold. We are looking for a Senior Manager, Sports Sponsorship & Field Marketing to own this partnership end-to-end — from Premier League matchday activations at Selhurst Park to executive hospitality programmes, global brand amplification, and developer community experiential events. You will sit at the intersection of sports marketing, tech/SaaS field marketing, and creative brand storytelling. This is a rare role that requires a genuine unicorn: someone who has lived in the world of sports sponsorship and knows how Premier League partnerships work, but who also speaks the language of developer marketing, pipeline generation, and SaaS growth. If you have done both — welcome home. **What You’ll Do** - Own the sponsorship activation strategy and integrated plan tied to clear goals (brand impact, community engagement, pipeline influence). - **Manage the day-to-day partnership with Crystal Palace** as a primary relationship owner for Temporal: - Run regular operating cadences (planning meetings, weekly check-ins in-season, pre/post-event reviews). - Own the shared activation roadmap, timelines, and approvals process across both organizations. - Coordinate rights inventory planning and utilization (e.g., player/talent access, creative usage, matchday assets, content moments, community initiatives) to ensure we’re maximizing the partnership. - Ensure deliverables are executed against contractual expectations and that both sides are clear on responsibilities, deadlines, and escalation paths. - **Develop joint go-to-market style plans** with Crystal Palace stakeholders where relevant (co-marketing moments, community programs, partner/customer experiences), while ensuring Temporal’s brand and audience stay at the center. - Design and deliver standout **experiential activations** in partnership with Crystal Palace (matchday moments, community programs, content-led experiences, partner/customer moments). - Lead **field marketing + hospitality** planning and execution (hosted events, executive/customer hosting, curated experiences) with strong operational rigor. - Build and manage the seasonal activation calendar (pre-season, in-season tentpoles, key fixtures, transfer windows, playoffs/cups, etc.). - Coordinate cross-functionally to ensure activations are “fully integrated” (content, PR, paid, email, social, SDR follow-up, partner channels). - Manage agency and vendor partners (experiential, creative production, event vendors, merchandise, venues) and ensure high-quality execution. - Track performance and report outcomes with a strong measurement approach (attribution where possible; directional influence where not). - Steward the Temporal brand in high-visibility environments and ensure we show up in a way th…
