Executive Experience Manager, NYC

Job Description

About GitGuardian

GitGuardian is a global cybersecurity scale-up. The company is based in Paris, New-York City, Boston.

Among our early investors who saw our market value proposition, are the co-founder of GitHub, Scott Chacon, along with Solomon Hykes, Docker’s co-founder. American and European top-tier VC firms have also invested in GitGuardian.

GitGuardian leads the way in Non-Human Identity security, offering end-to-end solutions from secrets detection in code, productivity tools and environments to strong remediation, observability and proactive prevention of leaks. Our solutions are already used by more than 600K developers worldwide!

Brand experiences are critical to differentiate. At GitGuardian we are convinced that field marketing is central to achieve this differentiation. While campaigns fill the top of our funnel, the moments that matter in a deal, the ones that help landing Fortune 500 security teams and reshape a CISO’s buying decision are rarely happening over the phone.
They’re happening when human interactions are real: dinners where the right conversation happened, great in person experiences, and engaging roundtables.

About your team and your mission

As we accelerate enterprise pipeline across EMEA and North America, we need someone dedicated to making those moments happen. Reporting to Jérémy, Head of Field Marketing, you’ll own the experiences that turn cold outreach into warm relationships and warm relationships into closed revenue.

You’ll work hand in hand with Account Executives and BDRs to ensure every experience you design is tied to a real deal: an account we’re trying to open, a champion we’re trying to build, a decision we’re trying to influence. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You own it end to end.

Your main responsibilities will be to:

• Design and run GitGuardian’s sales-led event programme: Executive dinners, CISO roundtables, VIP activations at key industry events (RSA, it-sa, Black Hat, Gartner Security Summit) each one mapped to active pipeline.

• Curate the guest list with surgical precision: the right CISOs, VPs of Engineering, and security decision-makers in the room with the right AEs at the right moment in the deal cycle

• Create experiences that feel genuinely exclusive and memorable; where the format, venue, and atmosphere do as much work as the content

• Build and own relationships with the CISO and security community: be the person they’re glad to hear from, not another marketing contact they ignore

• Coordinate closely with Sales and BDRs on targeting, invitations, and post-event follow-through.

• Handle all logistics end-to-end: invite process, venue sourcing, catering, speakers, run-of-show, and the hundred details that separate a forgettable evening from one people talk about

• Measure what matters: pipeline influenced, meetings generated, deal progression, and report with clean attribution.

About you

If you think you match at least 70% of these criteria, please apply!

Here’s what we consider essential for success in this role:

• Fluent in English as you’ll represent GitGuardian to senior security leaders across the US and EMEA

• 4+ years in executive event management, field marketing, or a role where creating high-quality experiences for senior audiences was your core output

• You know what “good” looks like at the executive level and you hold yourself to a standard most event managers don’t. You may come from luxury hospitality, an executive advisory firm (Gartner, Forrester, peer communities), or a B2B SaaS company known for its CISO programmes.

• A natural relationship builder : you are warm, credible, and people are glad to hear from you. Ideally you already have relationships in the CISO or IT security community, or you know how to build them fast

• Pipeline generation mindset: You understand B2B demand generation and you can connect a dinner to a deal

• Detail-obsessed and self-directed: You manage complex logistics across multiple simultaneous programmes with successful outcomes.

• Comfortable with regular travel across EMEA and occasionally North America

• Comfortable using AI tools in your day-to-day work to move faster and remove friction

The following skills would strengthen your application but aren’t required:

• Cybersecurity industry knowledge. A familiarity with DevSecOps, AppSec, or the security conference circuit

• An existing network of CISOs, CIOs, or VPs of Engineering in EMEA or North America

• Experience running high-quality events solo : no agency, no coordinator, just you

• Marketing tools fluency. You are comfortable working from day 1 in HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion
