Marketing Program Manager - Sales Enablement & Events

Location: Hybrid | Buffalo, NY (3 days/week onsite)

Why this role matters

This is not a traditional marketing role. As a Marketing Program Manager, you'll sit at the center of sales enablement, vendor engagement, and event execution, owning high-visibility programs that directly support revenue growth, vendor relationships, and executive initiatives. You'll partner closely with Sales, Finance, and senior leaders to plan, execute, and optimize vendor-sponsored training events, sales-driven programs, and recognition initiatives-including marquee efforts like President's Club.

If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, love turning complex requests into tight execution plans, and are trusted to "just get it done" without being chased, this role is for you.

What you'll do

Program & Project Leadership

• Own end-to-end planning, execution, and reporting for vendor-sponsored training events and on-site programs-most hosted locally in Buffalo
• Manage multiple programs simultaneously, tracking tasks, timelines, dependencies, and deliverables with strong attention to detail
• Serve as a hybrid program and project manager, ensuring nothing drops while balancing competing priorities

Sales Enablement & Vendor Engagement

• Partner with Sales to deliver impactful training and enablement experiences that support vendor selling motions
• Engage vendors directly-vendors often come to you-to scope, position, and execute sponsored programs
• Secure vendor sponsorships, manage participation models, and ensure alignment with broader go-to-market objectives
• Support executive-facing programs and recognition events, including acting as project manager for President's Club

Events & Execution Excellence

• Plan and execute on-site events, including logistics, agendas, vendors, and attendee experience
• Coordinate across Marketing, Sales, Accounting, Events, and Executive stakeholders to deliver seamless experiences
• Maintain executive presence and confidence when managing senior-level requests and last-minute changes

Financial & Operational Rigor

• Own program budgets, expense tracking, invoicing, and post-event financial reporting
• Partner closely with Finance to ensure accuracy, transparency, and compliance
• Track ROI, performance metrics, and program effectiveness to inform future planning

What success looks like

• Programs are executed on time, on budget, and without constant oversight
• Stakeholders trust you, rely on you, and proactively bring you into new initiatives
• Vendors see you as a credible, organized partner
• Sales feels enabled, not burdened
• Leadership knows you'll deliver-even when priorities shift

What you bring

Required qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in marketing program management, project management, or sales enablement
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
• Strong financial acumen, including budgeting, expense management, and reporting
• Experience collaborating closely with Sales
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to influence and persuade without direct authority
