The Role

Donorbox is seeking a highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented Event Marketing Manager to join our Growth & Marketing team. This high-impact role will manage Donorbox’s in-person event participation, helping deepen relationships within the nonprofit community and deliver a seamless attendee and staff experience.

This role owns logistics and execution across a growing portfolio of 20+ industry conferences, sponsored events, networking and community gatherings, and internal company events (offsites, team meetings & gatherings) annually. These events bring together the global nonprofit and social impact community, with a primary focus on the United States, followed by Canada and Europe.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience managing complex conference and event operations from start to finish, and can confidently own multiple workstreams simultaneously with minimal oversight. This role will also own the event budgeting process, including budget creation, expense tracking, vendor spend management, and post-event reconciliation/reporting. The Event Marketing Manager will share creative ideas for strategically engaging audiences to make a lasting impression. Building brand awareness is a core objective for this role, but as a B2B SaaS platform, it is equally essential to drive measurable results through lead generation, customer acquisition, and account renewals.
