Field Marketing Manager

Job description

ABOUT HAULER HERO Hauler Hero is a B2B SaaS company serving the waste and recycling industry with 250+ organizations on the platform. We compete against legacy providers that have dominated this space for decades. Our customers are small to mid-size haulers and municipalities who need modern software that works the way their operations actually run. THE ROLE Events are an important part of our go-to-market motion, particularly for larger deal sizes. We're looking for a hands-on field marketer who can strengthen event execution, bring consistency to planning and follow-up, and help improve how we measure impact over time. You are not starting from zero. We have built a real field marketing program over the past year, and two significant programs are already in flight with venues secured, budgets committed, and deadlines on the calendar. Your first job is carrying them across the finish line, with part-time transition support from the outgoing field marketing manager so nothing gets dropped in the handoff. From there, you take ownership of the calendar, the budget, and how we measure event impact. You'll own day-to-day event execution and partner closely with sales, demand gen, and marketing leadership to ensure events support pipeline and revenue goals. This role reports to the Head of Marketing and is an individual contributor role. WHAT YOU'LL DO This role is execution-heavy with room to grow strategically. IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES Two programs are already underway and you'll take ownership both mid-flight. You won't do it alone. Our outgoing field marketing manager is staying on part-time, roughly 20 to 25 hours a week, through both events.
