Principal, Global Event Marketing

Job Description: Pluralsight isn't looking for someone to just run events; we are looking for a visionary to architect the engine behind our global presence. As the Principal of Global Event Marketing, you won’t be managing guest lists—you’ll be owning the global investment strategy and portfolio governance that turns events into a high-octane growth lever for our Revenue Marketing team. WHO YOU’RE COMMITTED TO BEING

• A Strategic Architect: You look at a global events calendar and see a blueprint for revenue, not just a series of dates.
• A Financial Steward: You treat the global budget with the discipline of an owner, ensuring every dollar spent is an investment in measurable ROI.
• An Operational Mastermind: You thrive on creating scalable systems, playbooks, and standards that ensure excellence from London to Sydney.
• A High-Level Influencer: You possess the executive presence to navigate strategic ambiguity and lead cross-functional teams toward a unified brand vision.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the Portfolio: Define the annual global events strategy, master calendar, and investment model. You decide where we play and how we win.
• Govern the Investment: Lead Tier 1 sponsorship decisions and vendor negotiations, building the business cases that justify major global initiatives.
• Set the Standard: Develop the "Global Production Playbook." You’ll define what a Pluralsight event looks and feels like, ensuring brand consistency and executive-level quality worldwide.
• Build the Ecosystem: Design the global vendor architecture—from agencies and production to registration and logistics—ensuring our operational model is built to scale.
• Drive Accountability: You are the final word on event ROI, lead capture quality, and the seamless handoff of opportunities to our revenue teams.

EXPERIENCE YOU'LL BRING

• A Decade of Mastery: 10+ years of B2B enterprise event marketing experience, specifically within the tech or SaaS space.
• Global Portfolio Management: A proven track record of owning Tier 1 sponsorship strategies and multi-million dollar global budgets.
• Operational Design: Experience building "center of excellence" models that enable regional teams while maintaining global standards.
• Strategic Negotiation: Heavy-hitting experience in contract management and vendor ecosystem design.

REQUIREMENTS

• Analytical Rigor: Proficiency in financial modeling and the ability to translate event data into actionable revenue insights.
• Strategic Autonomy: The ability to operate independently in complex, fast-paced environments.
• Travel Readiness: Ability to travel globally to oversee Tier 1 initiatives and partner with regional leads.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills suited for board-level presentations and global internal alignment.
• This is a remote role; however, applicants located within 45 miles of our Westlake/Dallas, TX office should expect to work on-site Tuesday through Thursday, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. This approach enables more effective collaboration, quicker decision-making, and a stronger culture, while still providing flexibility.

Why you’ll love working here:

• We work in a blended environment that supports collaboration, flexibility, and connection across teams.
• We are mission-driven, shaping the future of tech upskillling and delivering impact that matters.
• We foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, where everyone can contribute and thrive.
