Manager, Field Events - Growth

About Engine At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place. To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel. More than 30,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience. Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work. Why This Role Matters Engine is the travel and spend management platform transforming how businesses move. We're cash flow positive, scaling rapidly, and backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira — and our 2026 growth targets are the most ambitious we've ever set. Field is one of the levers that will make or break that plan. Many of our buyers don't live online. They're on job sites, in dispatch offices, and on the road. Field is how we reach them, and the pipeline it generates consistently converts faster, expands more, and churns less than what comes through any other channel. We've also made significant investments into our partnership with city and regional DMOs — a meaningful bet on destination partnerships as a repeatable engine for pipeline. This role owns getting full value from these relationships and proving the model so we can scale it to other markets across the country. What You'll Own End-to-end field program ownership: Strategy and execution of Engine's full field marketing program including event selection, audience targeting and recruiting, content and run-of-show, on-site execution, pre and post-event follow-up, and pipeline reporting. You own the calendar and you own the number. Traditional field events: Customer dinners, sporting event suites and activations, and regional roadshows. Partner with go-to-market leadership to align event mix to pipeline targets and territory priorities. Experimental in-person activations: Identify, test, and scale unconventional channels for getting Engine in front of buyers, eg. job site visits, office drop-ins, and other activations that meet our ICP where they actually are. Bring a test-and-learn mindset: hypothesis, MDE, post-event readout, decision to kill or scale. DMO and destination partnerships: Own Engine's relationship with regional travel organizations and partners, then build the playbook to expand the model to additional destinations. Pipeline accountability: Net-new logo influence, opportunity acceleration, and customer expansion sourced or influenced by field. Deliver clean post-event reporting to sales, growth, and executive leadership. Sales partnership and enablement: Tight alignment with AEs, AMs, and sales leadership on account targeting, pre-event prep, and post-event follow-up. Team leadership: Manage and develop a team of two while staying hands-on as a senior IC. Set standards for program quality, raise the bar on creative, and create career pathing as the function grows. The Problems You’ll Solve This team operates at the intersection of speed and rigor. You'll be expected to ship fast, learn faster, and build the playbooks that turn one-off wins into repeatable programs. Some of the challenges you'll inherit: Scaling what's working: we've seen early signal f…
