About the Role As our first Field Marketing Manager you'll own Runlayer's presence at every event, from major conferences to intimate dinners. You'll run the field motion end to end: choosing which conferences to sponsor, allocating budget, partnering with sales and BDRs to drive attendance, and closing the loop on post-event follow-up and pipeline. This is a build-from-scratch role, working directly with the VP of Marketing and the sales team.
Why You'll Thrive Here- Impact: Put Runlayer in front of the security and engineering leaders who decide how enterprises adopt AI.
- Excellence: Work closely with founders and a marketing team scaling from founder-led to a real function.
- Ownership: Own the entire field motion from scratch, from conference selection to sourced pipeline.
What You'll Do- Own the field calendar end to end: conference selection, budget allocation, sponsorship negotiation, and deciding what to skip.
- Run intimate events: exec dinners and CISO roundtables, from invite list to follow-up.
- Partner with AEs and BDRs: target account lists, pre-event outreach, on-site meeting orchestration, and post-event handoffs.
- Close the loop on pipeline: follow-up sequences, sourced and influenced attribution, and reporting field ROI to leadership.
- Execute on-site: booth presence, event collateral, and swag, representing Runlayer to security and engineering buyers.
- Build the field motion from scratch alongside the VP of Marketing and the sales team.
- This role will require up to 40% travel for events and customer engagements.
What We're Looking For- 3-6 years in field marketing.
- Extremely organized, with a track record juggling many events and details at once.
- A track record partnering closely with sales, measured on pipeline rather than event logistics.
- Ecosystem instinct: a real opinion on where AI infrastructure and security buyers actually show up.
- Actively uses AI tools to multiply output, in the real marketing workflow, not occasionally.
- A founding mindset: you want to build from scratch, not inherit an established playbook.

- Experience marketing a technical or security product to engineering and security buyers.
- Familiarity with the MCP and AI agents space.
