Why This Role

Promptfoo is investing significantly in conferences and executive events as a primary pipeline channel. From RSA Conference and Black Hat USA to Gartner Security Summit and CISO dinners, our event program is a direct line to the security leaders who buy our platform. This role exists to make sure every dollar we invest in events delivers a measurable pipeline and accelerates the relationships that close deals.

You will own the end-to-end event strategy and execution—from booth design to badge scans to post-event pipeline. You will work closely with Sales, Demand Generation, and Package Marketing to turn in-person moments into enterprise conversations.

• Own the event engine that puts Promptfoo in front of CISOs, AppSec leads, and security directors
• Maximize ROI on a six-figure conference investment across marquee security events
• Build and execute executive engagement programs (CISO dinners, roundtables, VIP experiences)
• Collaborate with Sales to convert event interactions into qualified pipeline

Join a small, high-impact Marketing team where your work directly drives revenue
