You'll work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to drive event registrations and attendance, grow subscription revenue, and maximize return on marketing investment. A primary responsibility is ensuring paid spend is properly attributed by channel and tactic. You'll also help Arizent establish a clear model connecting media investment to registrations, attendance, ticket revenue, sponsor outcomes, subscription revenue, and long-term customer value.\nWe're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with hands-on expertise, thrives on data-driven decision-making, and enjoys turning campaign insights into measurable business results. This position is open to both hybrid (New York, NY) and fully remote candidates.\nWhat Makes This Opportunity Stand Out\nVisible Business Impact: Influence marketing investments and growth strategies

historical performance.\n\nAdvise on targeting, offers and deadlines, pricing tests, channel mix, and registration-page strategy, including when paid media is-and isn't-the right lever.\n\nAttract qualified attendees, including senior decision-makers and professionals from target industries and organizations, so event audiences deliver on sponsor commitments.\n\nLeverage first-party, subscriber, and past-attendee data to improve targeting, lookalike, and retargeting audiences, coordinating segmentation and suppression with Event Marketing.\n\nOptimize campaigns around event milestones, including event announcements, speaker announcements, early-bird and pricing deadlines, and final registration periods.\n\nRun registration-abandonment, late-stage, and show-rate campaigns to maximize registrations and attendance.\n\nLead Campaign Strategy & Optimization\nBuild, launch, and optimize campaigns across LinkedIn, Google, Microsoft Advertising, Meta, and other paid media channels.\n\nManage campaign targeting, bidding, budgets, pacing, and retargeting strategies.\n\nCollaborate with Event Marketing and Studio to develop compelling messaging, advertising copy, and

and emerging channels.\n\nWork with business leadership (EVP Events, EVP Information Services, CMO, and CFO) to recommend annual and monthly budgets that align with growth goals.\n\nForecast registrations, cost per registration, attendance, and ticket revenue for each event, track pace against targets, and adjust investments based on registration trends, acquisition costs, revenue opportunities, audience gaps, and proximity to event dates.\n\nSet and track goals for cost per registration, attendance rate, ticket revenue, subscription CPA, customer acquisition costs, LTV-to-CAC, and return on advertising spend.\n\nDeliver weekly pacing dashboards, monthly analyses, post-event readouts, and actionable recommendations to business leaders, including when to scale, reduce, or redirect investment, with a portfolio view across brands and event types that distinguishes incremental from total registrations and notes attribution limits.\n\nPartner with Data & AI, Product, and Marketing Operations to strengthen campaign attribution, conversion tracking, and reporting across ad platforms, Cvent, Omeda, and Salesforce.\n\nDrive Marketing Technology & Innovation\nServe as Arizent's subject-matter expert on paid media platforms, campaign tracking, and measurement practices.\n\nMaintain strong standards for platform access, campaign tracking (naming conventions, UTMs, and conversion tracking), data privacy, and brand safety.\n\nExplore opportunities to use AI and automation to improve campaign development, creative testing, and performance reporting, with human oversight.\n\nIdentify and recommend tools, processes, and strategies that improve marketing efficiency and effectiveness.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\n7-10 years of experience in performance marketing, paid

audience composition, attendance, and ticket revenue goals.\n\nExperience driving digital subscription acquisition for B2B media, SaaS, information services, or similar products.\n\nStrong hands-on expertise with LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, Meta Ads Manager, native advertising and retargeting platforms.\n\nExperience with analytics and marketing technology platforms such as GA4, Salesforce, Cvent, Omeda, and marketing automation and dashboarding tools, as well as campaign-tracking standards.\n\nExperience building forecasts and performance models using cost per registration, CPA, CAC, LTV, ROAS, conversion rates, attendance rates, and payback periods.\n\nUnderstanding of how event audiences create sponsor value and feed subscription and enterprise funnels.\n\nDemonstrated ability to manage budgets, analyze performance, and translate data into actionable business recommendations.\n\nStrong copywriting, creative-briefing, and landing- and registration-page optimization skills.\n\nStrong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across marketing, events, sales, sponsorship, editorial, creative, product, finance, and data teams.\n\nAbility to balance strategic planning with hands-on campaign execution in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.\n\nBonus Points If You Have\nExperience promoting B2B events in financial services, professional services, media, or market intelligence.\n\nExperience marketing a portfolio of paid-ticket and free events, including in-person and virtual formats.\n\nExperience connecting event registration and subscription data to CRM opportunities and revenue.\n\nPractical experience using AI-supported tools for campaign development, creative
