It's our time to scale. It's your time to be part of something big.

Tulip's mission is bold. We're a team of experts who have worked with and for retailers over the past 20 years. We are driven to disrupt an entire industry and enable one of the world's largest job markets.

Tulip has built a retail mobile software platform that empowers leading retailers such as Mulberry, Chanel, Saks Fifth Avenue, Kate Spade, Coach, and Michael Kors to give mobile devices to their store associates so they can elevate service, sell more and provide a personalized experience.

Tulip is a place you come to make an impact, working with like-minded people to build something meaningful using the best technology. We are growing, and while lean is great, we need more people, energy, innovation, and talent.

We are looking for a highly organized and results-oriented Events Marketing Manager to own and execute our overall event strategy, from large industry trade shows to smaller, intimate events. This role is the strategic and operational hub of our event marketing, requiring a leader who can build a high-impact event plan and then manage the complex logistics to transform it into an innovative and exciting brand experience.

• Drive Trade Show Success: Drive our trade show success by developing creative and exciting booth experiences and targeted activations. You'll be challenged to think innovatively to make our brand stand out and create a memorable impression on attendees.

You will analyze pre-event attendee lists to identify and segment our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and collaborate closely with the Sales team pre and post-event to ensure high-quality lead capture and effective follow-up.
• Measure and Optimize: Track, measure, and report on event performance against key KPIs, focusing on lead generation, pipeline influence, and ROI to continuously refine the event strategy.

• A proven ability to work cross-functionally, especially with Sales and Marketing Operations, to turn event activity into tangible business results.
• A resourceful and creative mindset, with a talent for creating exciting and innovative brand experiences while working smartly within a budget.
• Confidence and autonomy to own the event function, from high-level strategy to getting your hands dirty with on-the-ground execution.
