Full Job Description
Do you believe events should directly impact revenue?

Do you believe building world-class, large-scale events is where strategy meets flawless execution? Then Jobber might be the place for you.

We're looking for an Event Manager to join our Marketing team and own the planning and execution of large-scale, high-visibility, Jobber-led events that connect our brand with customers, partners, and our community.

This role is focused on event planning and execution, from strategy through on-site delivery.

The Team

Marketing at Jobber is responsible for telling our story, growing awareness, and driving demand. Within Marketing, Events plays a critical role in bringing the Jobber brand to life through Jobber-led, high-impact experiences-both virtual and in-person-that drive connection, education, and measurable business outcomes.

You'll work closely with Brand and Creative, Product and Product Marketing, and Revenue teams, as well as external vendors and partners, to deliver events that support company priorities.

The Role

As Event Manager, you'll be responsible for planning and executing Jobber-led, high-visibility events end to end. This portfolio primarily includes flagship, virtual, and hybrid events with large audiences and meaningful six to seven-figure budgets.

You'll own event strategy and execution, leading cross-functional collaboration and communication across Marketing, Product, Sales, and external partners to ensure events are well-planned, well-produced, and demonstrably impactful.

This role is ideal for someone who is equal parts strategic planner and operator-someone who can take an event from concept to flawless on-site execution. It would be an asset if someone has done a user conference for hundreds/thousands of attendees in person, and/or a virtual conference with thousands of attendees. Experience with event promotion and marketing campaigns is a nice-to-have.

Key events for this role include Jobber Summit, our annual virtual conference for the blue collar community, and Jobber Now, our annual product launch and user conference.

The Event Manager will:
  • Serve as the driver for flagship events, developing and owning detailed workback plans, timelines, budgets, and executional oversight across tech, experience, and logistics.
  • Translate business goals into event outcomes (e.g., net new lead acquisition and net revenue expansion) and ensure events meaningfully contribute to broader company objectives.
  • Oversee large-scale event logistics and production, including vendor management, venues, AV/tech platforms, customer support readiness, and on-site experience delivery.
  • Measure, report, and optimize event performance across attendance, engagement, and post-event outcomes; partner with Analytics and Marketing to assess impact against goals and use insights to improve programming and experience design.
  • Communicate proactively with stakeholders and senior leadership on progress, risks, and results, ensuring clarity and alignment throughout the planning and execution lifecycle.
  • Support event promotion efforts as needed, with the opportunity to grow into ownership of registration and attendance campaigns over time.
  • Travel when required within Canada and the United States, for flagship events, site visits, trade shows, conferences, and keynote filming as needed.
To Be Successful, You'll Have
  • Stamina, adaptability, and time-management skills to perform effectively while traveling frequently, including multi-day events and tight schedules.
  • Experience planning and executing high-visibility company-led events with significant budgets, (e.g. six to seven-figure programs) and attendance (e.g. thousands of attendees).
  • Experience collaborating closely with Product and Product Marketing teams.
  • A data-informed mindset, with experience measuring performance and iterating based on results.
  • Exceptional communication and organizational skills, with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
It Would Be Great (But Not Required) If You Had
  • Experience or interest in event promotion and marketing campaigns (email, paid media, social, in-product, partnerships)-we'll train the right person up in this area.
  • Experience working in SaaS or at a high-growth tech company.
  • Familiarity with event technology platforms, CRM integrations, and marketing automation tools.
  • Experience leading a user conference at a SaaS or high-growth tech company.
  • CMP certification or equivalent.
Compensation

At Jobber, we believe that compensation should be transparent, fair, and reflective of your experience and growth. This role has a minimum annual salary of $98,300, a midpoint of $115,700, and a maximum salary of $133,100, designed to show the progression from learning the ropes to truly excelling.

We design our compensation to reflect each new hire's skills, experience, and the complexity of the role, ensuring a fair and competitive salary. Our range is intentionally broad to support growth and long-term impact. This approach ensures that compensation aligns with both the current shape of the role and the opportunity for growth as it evolves.

Base salary is just one part of a total compensation package that will include equity rewards, annual stipends for health and wellness, retirement savings matching, and an extended health package with fully paid premiums for body and mind. Your professional growth matters to us too! You'll have access to a dedicated talent development program that includes career coaching and opportunities for career development.

We believe in transparency and open conversations about compensation. If you have any questions about our approach, we're happy to discuss them throughout the hiring process!
Location

We believe great collaboration is intentional, and sometimes that means coming together in person to build, brainstorm, and connect. To support this, the role is open to candidates based in one of our hub cities: Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, or Kitchener-Waterloo.

What you can expect from Jobber:
  • A total compensation package that includes an extended health benefits package with fully paid premiums for both body and mind, matching in RRSP, TFSA or FHSA, and stock options.
  • A dedicated Talent Development team and access to coaching, learning, and leadership programs to help you grow your career, reach your goals, and unlock your full potential.
  • A unique opportunity to build, grow, and leave your impact on a $400-billion industry that has no dominant player...yet.
  • To work with a group of people who are humble, supportive, and give a sh*t about our customers.
