Who You Are
Ontic is looking for a Senior Events Manager who treats events as a growth lever—where brand, community, and pipeline come together in real life. You’re equally comfortable setting the strategy and getting hands-on in the details to deliver excellent experiences across event formats. You run end-to-end planning and delivery across internal teams and external partners, with high energy and clear ownership. You bring a methodical and data driven approach to fast-moving, high-stakes moments—and you raise the bar on what “great” looks like for the attendee experience.

Event-sourced and influenced pipeline
A repeatable, scalable event engine that drives consistent pipeline and engagement across event types
A consistent, high-quality Ontic brand experience that drives attendance, engagement, and post-event pipeline

Lead venue sourcing, vendor selection, contract negotiation, and budget management
Oversee all event logistics including registration, A/V, staging, catering, signage, transportation, staffing, and attendee flow
Lead onsite execution, proactively troubleshooting issues in real time and ensuring a polished attendee experience
Own event budgets end-to-end, balancing cost efficiency with a high-quality experience

Own all Summit logistics and production planning, including venue coordination, A/V, staging support, registration, staffing, and attendee flow
Act as the central point of coordination across vendors, venues, and internal teams for all logistics workstreams

Continuously improve event processes, tools, and vendor workflows to increase efficiency and execution quality
Use tools and technology (including AI where appropriate) to streamline planning and coordination
Qualifications
7+ years of experience in B2B events, event management, or event production (agency or in-house)
Deep experience in event logistics and production, including managing vendors, venues, A/V, and onsite execution
Proven track record owning complex event portfolios tied to measurable pipeline outcomes (e.g., large-scale conferences, multi-city programs, or high-budget event strategies)
Strong program management skills are a must: planning rigor, budget ownership, vendor negotiation, and calm execution under pressure.
Passion to use AI tools to accelerate audience targeting, personalization, content production, and follow-up workflows, without sacrificing quality or accuracy.
Working knowledge of CRM (Salesforce), marketing automation (Marketo), event/webinar platforms, and basic reporting/BI.
Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management; able to influence without authority and bring clarity when priorities collide.
Bonus: experience marketing to enterprise security, risk, investigations, or adjacent B2B categories.
