Summary of the Events Content Marketing Manager job at Verkada

About the Role

Verkada runs over 500 events a year across various formats and sizes. Whether it is our multi thousand attendee annual user conference, VerkadaOne, or more intimate roundtables, today the marketing team custom builds a lot of the programming and content ahead of each event.

You will create and build templatized, reusable content systems so every event ships faster and at consistent quality, and integrate it with our quarterly global campaigns so that we build a more seamless journey for our partners, end-customers and prospects. Every session, agenda, and asset you produce should incorporate the pre, during and post motions required to successfully move prospects further along the funnel.

You will have the support of a separate event logistics team but will completely own the content and programming end to end, along with how it plugs into the broader integrated campaign motion.
