Role description
Event Manager
LiongardAbout Liongard
Liongard is the system of authority for asset intelligence. The platform continuously discovers, analyzes, and monitors assets, identities, and configurations across the IT stack, then puts that intelligence to work inside the AI platforms, automation tools, and workflows MSP teams already use. Liongard helps MSPs scale without adding headcount, close blind spots, and deliver faster time to value across every client and workflow.
The Role
Liongard is looking for an Events Manager to own our event program end to end. This role plans, builds, and runs the full mix of events that put Liongard in front of the MSP community: sponsored industry events, self-hosted programs, regional roadshows, and in-market activations. You'll be on site for the events you build, not just behind the scenes.
This is a hands-on role for someone who can manage a budget and a floor plan in the same week, and who's comfortable owning a project from first strategy conversation to onsite demand, through post-event reporting.
What You'll Do
- Own the full event lifecycle: strategy, budget, logistics, vendor and venue management, on-site execution, and post-event reporting
- Plan and run sponsored events, self-hosted programs, roadshows, and regional activations across the year
- Represent Liongard on site, managing booth or event logistics, staffing, and attendee experience in real time
- Partner with sales and marketing to set event goals, target account lists, and follow-up plans so events convert into pipeline
- Manage event budgets and vendor relationships, negotiating contracts and controlling spend across a full calendar of programs
- Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, including sales, product marketing, and executive leadership, to ensure events are staffed, resourced, and on message
- Build and manage event timelines and run-of-show documents, keeping every stakeholder aligned on deadlines
- Track and report on event performance, tying attendance and engagement back to pipeline and revenue outcomes
- Travel regularly to support events in market
What You Bring
- 7-10 years of experience in event marketing or event management, ideally in B2B SaaS or the IT channel/MSP space
- Direct experience running sponsored events, self-hosted events, roadshows, and activations, not just supporting them
- A track record of owning events start to finish, from budget and planning through on-site execution
- Comfort traveling and working events in person; this role is on the floor, not just in the planning doc
- Strong vendor and budget management skills, with experience negotiating contracts and tracking spend
- Excellent project management skills and the ability to run multiple events at different stages simultaneously
- Clear, confident communication with executives, sales leaders, and external partners
US based, East Coast preferred, with the flexibility to travel domestically and internationally as the event calendar requires.
