About the Role:

We are seeking a Field Marketing Lead to help define and execute Axion’s field marketing and events strategy across both digital and in-person channels. This role is a key driver of how Axion engages with prospects and customers, partners, and investors through high-impact experiences that generate pipeline and amplify Axion’s brand in the market.

This person will lead the full lifecycle of Axion’s event and field marketing programs, spanning in-person industry conferences, digital webinars, as well as corporate events like our Customer Advisory Board (CAB) and annual partner conferences. This may also include thought leadership activations — dinners, panels, and executive sessions that strengthen our ecosystem visibility.

The ideal candidate thrives in building something from the ground up. You’ll balance strategy and execution to define a scalable event framework while owning the tactical delivery that brings it to life. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with leadership and engage directly with customers and partners to ensure Axion’s events reflect our brand excellence and ambition.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and execute Axion’s field marketing strategy across in-person and digital experiences.

• Own the planning, management, and execution of Axion’s key events — from industry and partner conferences to owned gatherings like our CAB and thought leadership webinars.

• Lead webinar and virtual event programs, ensuring strong attendance, engagement, and follow-up that drives pipeline impact.

• Collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions, and Marketing teams to align field activities with go-to-market priorities and revenue goals.

• Partner with Axion’s executive team and investors to co-create and activate visibility opportunities, including roundtables, panels, and showcases.

• Support event content strategies and speaker programs across Axion’s target verticals and industries that resonate with enterprise buyers and C-level audiences.

• Establish operational excellence across logistics, vendor management, and measurement, ensuring every event delivers a strong return on experience and investment.

• Track, analyze, and report on field marketing performance, creating a feedback loop that informs ongoing strategy.

• Represent Axion’s brand with professionalism and creativity, ensuring every touchpoint elevates our reputation with customers and partners.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in field marketing, event marketing, or integrated marketing roles — ideally in a high-growth B2B SaaS, AI, or technology company.

• Proven ability to manage both digital and in-person events from webinars to large-scale conferences.

• Experience delivering successful events across industries and audiences, with a focus on crafting tailored narratives that drive ICP engagement.

• Demonstrated success working cross-functionally with GTM, marketing, and product teams in a fast-moving environment.

• Experience engaging with executive-level stakeholders across external customers, partners, and investors.

• Exceptional project management, organizational, and communication skills with a sharp eye for detail.

• Comfortable operating independently in a dynamic environment and building structure from the ground up.

• Passion for storytelling, brand experience, and curating moments that drive both business impact and connection.

Who You Are:

You’re a builder and operator who thrives in fast-moving, high-accountability environments. You take pride in getting things done — thoughtfully, efficiently, and without drama. You’re energized by ambiguity, skilled at bringing clarity, and comfortable flexing between strategy and execution.

You value feedback — giving it, receiving it, and acting on it — and you see collaboration as a competitive advantage, not a burden. You’re low-ego but high-agency: you care about winning as a team more than being right individually. You move quickly, communicate directly, and make decisions grounded in impact and data.

You don’t need constant direction — you create momentum. You take ownership for outcomes, and you expect the same from those around you.

How We Operate:

We move fast, work smart, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Axion Ray isn’t a 9–5 — it’s a place for people who take pride in their craft and are motivated by meaningful work. We respect time off and boundaries, but we’re also realistic: hard problems sometimes require weekend pushes or late-night thinking sessions. We support that balance — intensity with respect for recharge.

We stay highly collaborative and connected throughout the day — much of our communication happens over Slack. We move quickly, share feedback often, and keep discussions open so decisions and context flow freely. If you value crisp communication, rapid iteration, and a steady hum of collaboration, you’ll fit right in.

We:

• Collaborate deeply. Feedback is part of how we build — everyone has a voice, and ideas win on merit.

• Leave ego at the door. Titles don’t define value; contribution does.

• Bias toward action. We iterate fast and favor progress over perfection.

• Communicate with clarity. Direct, transparent, and always in service of the mission.

• Act like owners. Everyone is accountable for outcomes, not just tasks.

• Sustain excellence. We push hard but don’t glorify burnout — we’re in this for the long game.

If you want to help shape a company redefining how manufacturing operates — and you thrive in a culture that rewards ownership, speed, and candor — you’ll feel at home here

What We Offer:

• Work with cutting-edge AI technology making a tangible impact in manufacturing

• Collaborative, mission-driven team and supportive leadership

• Generous time off

• Competitive compensation, equity, and benefits

• Lunch stipend…. And much more
