at Patch

🏢 About Patch

Patch uniquely combines technology with deep carbon markets expertise to help companies navigate the complex world of carbon credits. Unlike traditional consultancies, they offer a tech-driven platform that makes carbon strategy accessible and actionable. Working at Patch means contributing directly to scaling climate solutions through market mechanisms at a critical time for the planet.

About This Role

As Head of Events at Patch, you'll own the entire event strategy to drive pipeline growth and strengthen brand authority in the climate tech space. This role is impactful because you'll create experiences that convert sustainability executives into customers and advocates, directly supporting Patch's mission to accelerate carbon market participation. You'll balance creative vision with measurable business outcomes across both virtual and in-person formats.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might involve reviewing metrics from a recent virtual roundtable with sustainability VPs, then collaborating with Sales on targeted follow-up for high-potential leads. In the afternoon, you could be storyboarding a flagship event concept that brings Patch's carbon credit platform to life for enterprise buyers, while also negotiating speaker slots for Patch executives at an upcoming climate conference.

🎯 Who Patch Is Looking For

  • Has 6-8+ years specifically designing B2B events that drive revenue, not just brand awareness, ideally in SaaS or climate tech
  • Demonstrates a portfolio of events with clear ROI metrics (e.g., pipeline generated, customer retention rates)
  • Can articulate how they've balanced creative 'wow' moments with operational rigor and budget discipline
  • Shows experience securing executive speaking slots at major industry conferences and crafting compelling customer storytelling moments

📝 Tips for Applying to Patch

1

Quantify your event ROI in your resume: Instead of 'managed events,' write 'designed 2023 conference series generating $2M pipeline and 15% attendee-to-opportunity conversion'

2

Tailor your portfolio to show both virtual and in-person work, highlighting how each format served different business goals (e.g., virtual for scale, in-person for deep relationship building)

3

Research Patch's 'Pragmatic Architect' brand identity and suggest one specific event concept that embodies it (e.g., 'A hands-on workshop on carbon credit procurement, not just a panel discussion')

4

Connect your experience directly to climate/SaaS: If you haven't worked in climate, show how your tech event skills translate (e.g., 'While at Salesforce, I designed events for enterprise buyers—similar to targeting sustainability executives at Patch')

5

Mention specific carbon market conferences you'd target for Patch (e.g., VERGE, Climate Week NYC) and why they align with pipeline goals

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Explain how your event strategy has directly driven revenue or retention in past roles, with one specific example', 'Describe your approach to aligning events with sales pipelines, including pre/post-event outreach collaboration', 'Highlight your experience balancing creative concepting with operational discipline, especially for hybrid/virtual formats', "Express specific knowledge of Patch's market position and how events can amplify their 'pragmatic' brand in climate tech"]
