Industry Marketing Manager

Job Description
Job Description
Industry Marketing Manager (IMM)
Revenue-Oriented Industry Marketing Role
Role Summary
Hospitality runs on trust, but that trust is constantly tested after checkout as transactions continue moving across payment systems, payroll workflows, OTAs, reporting layers, and financial operations. That complexity creates margin leakage, operational friction, compliance risk, and brand exposure that most operators still underestimate. Evention exists to close that gap.

This role partners closely with the CMO to help bring Evention’s “Trust After Checkout” narrative to market through campaigns, events, thought leadership, benchmark initiatives, and strategic programs. You will stay close to customers, industry trends, commercial conversations, and competitive movement to continuously sharpen how Evention shows up in the market. The industry already knows Evention. What it does not yet fully understand is the scale of the problem we solve and the cost of not solving it. Your role is to help close that gap.

We are looking for someone who moves quickly, thinks commercially, ships often, and uses AI tools and emerging technologies to help a lean team execute at a high level.

Partner with the CMO and Leadership to activate Evention’s strategic narrative across hospitality and adjacent industries

Support category-building initiatives that strengthen Evention’s position as the Financial Trust Layer for hospitality
Commercial & Market Alignment
Stay closely connected to customers, prospects, sales conversations, and market trends to continuously improve how Evention shows up in the market

Partner with commercial leadership to support pipeline-generating campaigns, strategic initiatives, and GTM execution
Help strengthen Evention’s credibility with enterprise operators, finance leaders, ownership groups, and hospitality decision-makers
Industry Presence & Thought Leadership
Support Evention’s strategic presence across events such as HITEC and HOSPACE, hospitality associations such as HFTP, webinars, benchmark initiatives, and executive thought leadership programs
Help identify market opportunities, partnerships, speaking engagements, and industry programs that align to Evention’s growth strategy
Coordinate research, benchmark, and market insight initiatives that strengthen Evention’s authority around post-checkout financial operations and financial trust
Contribute to content, panels, webinars, and event programming that help shape how the industry thinks about financial accuracy after checkout
AI-Forward Marketing Execution
