Organisations rely on us to establish trust, through sharing their security maturity and visualising the risks posed by their supply chain ecosystem. And we’re already trusted by customers like British Airways, BAE Systems and the NHS. We are putting together an amazing and talented team from a diverse set of backgrounds and skillsets to drive us towards our vision. Risk Ledger is built on the respect we have for one another and our users, united by our shared values and mission. Every one of us is still learning: it’s how we grow as individuals. We’re curious. We’re ambitious. And we’re humble and honest. At Risk Ledger, we aim high to find the best solutions we can and always put our users first. About The Role The US is a major growth market for Risk Ledger, and we're looking for our first dedicated US Field Marketing Manager to grow our presence in the market. You'll play a leading role in shaping our brand experience in the US through a mix of event and field programs. Working closely with our Field Marketing & Community Lead, the Global Marketing Team and US Sales, you'll plan and deliver a roadmap of in-person experiences that accelerate deals and deepen customer relationships. This is a hands-on role. Most of your time will be spent delivering every part of our US events and field programs, from planning and vendors to promotion, on-the-day delivery and sales follow-up.

Use dashboards and feedback from Sales to test, learn and optimize. • Work with Demand Generation, Product Marketing and Content to connect field activity with wider campaigns. • Act as our eyes and ears on the ground, bringing customer and market insight back to the wider marketing and GTM team. What We're Looking For • Experience in B2B tech or SaaS field or event marketing, ideally selling into mid-market or enterprise organizations. This is typically around 5 years, but we care more about what you can evidence than how long you've been doing it. • Hands-on experience running the full event lifecycle, with a strong eye for detail. • An understanding of how to meas
