How to Apply for Events Marketing Manager

at CarbonChain

🏢 About CarbonChain

CarbonChain is a climate tech startup providing quantitative solutions to slash supply chain emissions in top polluting industries like shipping, aviation, and manufacturing. What makes them unique is their data-driven approach to decarbonization, working directly with heavy industries that are traditionally hard to abate. Someone might want to work there to be at the forefront of climate action with measurable impact, in a fast-paced startup environment tackling one of the world's most pressing problems.

About This Role

As Events Marketing Manager at CarbonChain, you'll be responsible for planning and executing their full events calendar—from global sustainability conferences to intimate roundtables and educational webinars. This role is impactful because events are crucial for building CarbonChain's brand in the B2B climate tech space, generating qualified leads from industries like shipping and manufacturing, and positioning the company as a thought leader in supply chain decarbonization.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with finalizing run-of-show documents for next week's webinar with shipping industry executives, followed by coordinating with the marketing team on social media promotion. In the afternoon, you could be negotiating with a venue for CarbonChain's presence at an upcoming climate conference while simultaneously tracking registration metrics for current events and preparing post-event follow-up sequences for recent attendees.
