Event Manager

Events Manager 

Create experiences. Power growth. Make an impact.

At Black Duck, events aren’t just on the calendar -- they’re a critical driver of connection, pipeline, and growth. We’re looking for an Events Manager to help bring our brand to life across North America through high-impact trade shows, hosted events, and virtual experiences that engage buyers, influence revenue, and support our sales teams worldwide.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative, detail-driven event marketer who thrives in a fast-paced B2B technology environment and loves turning great ideas into seamless, memorable experiences. If you’re energized by collaboration, excited by emerging technologies, and motivated by measurable results, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’ll work side-by-side with Sales, Product Marketing, and Demand Marketing to design event strategies that resonate with prospects and customers -- and translate directly into business impact. From big industry conferences to targeted hosted experiences, your work will sit at the center of Black Duck’s go-to-market engine.

What You’ll Do

• Help plan and deliver Black Duck’s presence at trade shows, hosted events, internal conferences, and seminars -- bringing our brand and story to life


• Own the details: coordinate vendors, manage budgets, track expenses, and ensure flawless execution from planning through follow-up


• Partner closely with marketing, sales, and internal teams to drive strong promotion, attendance, and engagement


• Program manage all aspects of trade shows, including booth planning, services ordering, deliverables, and onsite staffing


• Create compelling event content -- landing pages, email campaigns, social promotion, and supporting assets -- that drives registrations and attendance


• Research, evaluate, and recommend new event opportunities aligned to growth goals


• Measure what matters: track and report on event ROI, pipeline influence, and overall performance


• Support onsite and virtual execution, including venue selection and negotiation, logistics, timelines, creative assets, and operations


• Maintain a global events calendar and manage inventory of event-related materials and assets

What You Bring

• 2+ years of experience in event or field marketing, ideally in a B2B technology environment


• A willingness to travel up to 50% to support trade shows and events


• A bachelor’s degree (or equivalent experience) in marketing, event management, or a related field


• Excellent organizational, communication, and project management skills


• The ability to juggle multiple priorities and move quickly without losing attention to detail


• A solid understanding of event best practices and performance measurement


• Curiosity about how AI and emerging technologies can enhance marketing and events


• Experience in cybersecurity and/or software development is a strong plus
