Why this role exists

Armada is building the definitive industrial edge platform by combining connectivity, compute, and AI to solve customers' hardest problems at the source of their data. In many of the sectors we serve, critical decisions are made face to face-on the convention floor, at customer sites, and during field trials. Your job is to bring the Armada story and mission to life at trade shows, executive dinners, roadshows, and customer forums so prospects experience our technology firsthand and the sales team walks away with warm leads.

What you'll do

• Own event strategy and execution . From 20 × 20 booths at global trade shows to intimate C-suite dinners, you will scout opportunities, secure slots, manage budgets, and run every logistical detail including venue, vendors, shipping, staffing, and run of show.
• Activate regional field programs. Plan roadshows, lunch and learns, Galleon tours, and partner co-marketing events that put Armada in front of decision makers where they work.
• Maximize event speaking opportunities. For events that include speaker slots, secure the best stages, coordinate with the Office of the CEO for executive presenters, promote sessions ahead of time, and drive booth traffic and follow-up afterward.
• Drive on-site lead capture. Set up kiosk flows or badge scans, brief reps on messaging, and hand off clean lead lists to Sales and Demand Gen within 24 hours after each event.
• Collaborate cross-functionally . Work with Content & Communications on narrative, Design on booth assets and printed collateral, and Demand Gen on pre and post event nurture.
• Measure impact. Track and report pipeline influence, meetings set, and cost per lead for every program, then double down on events that move the needle.
• Keep us event ready. Maintain inventory of booth graphics, demo gear, and printed materials and coordinate refurbishments or reorders with the Design team and our vendors as needed.
• Travel. Represent Armada on site roughly 30 to 50 percent of the time with occasional evenings and weekends as events require.
