Field Marketing Manager, Astra Security

Experience: 4 to 8 years, Location: Bengaluru, India

Role Overview

Astra is a continuous pentest platform used by 1,200+ engineering teams. Over the past year, we've run closed-door CISO dinners, experiential events, and trade show exhibitions. Some worked, some didn't, and we now have a fair idea of which is which.

We're looking for someone who has run events at scale to take what we've learned and build events into a repeatable channel that drives pipeline. You'll own the calendar, budget, and execution, and work closely with sales to ensure attendees turn into qualified opportunities.

Key Responsibilities

- Own the field marketing plan: Build the annual calendar across roundtables, private dinners, experiential events, and trade shows, planned against target accounts, pipeline goals, and GTM priorities.
- Own pipeline from events: The job doesn't end when the event does. Work with Sales to make sure every relevant attendee has an owner, next step, and follow-up, and track how those accounts move into pipeline and revenue.
- Build the right audience: Work with BDRs, AEs, and Marketing Ops to build and vet target lists, drive registrations, and make sure the people in the room are the right ICP accounts and decision-makers for Astra.
- Work closely with Sales: Start planning months ahead of key events, align on accounts and meeting goals, stay on top of outreach and follow-up, and use events for both net-new pipeline and accelerating existing deals.
- Own budget and ROI: Decide where the field budget goes, control spend and measure meetings, opportunities, pipeline, revenue, and return. Be willing to challenge whether we should sponsor an event, attend it, co-host, or run something of our own instead.
- Run events end to end: Own vendors, venues, booths, travel, AV, collateral, speakers, run-of-show, and on-ground execution. Have a backup plan when things inevitably change.
- Build creative field plays:



Think beyond booths and conferences. Test formats like private dinners, executive experiences, golf sessions, partner events, and creative activities that reach the ICP and drive social amplification.
- Build field + ABM programs: Work with outbound teams to surround priority accounts before, during, and after events using account research, personalized outreach, intent, and targeted campaigns.
- Own reporting: Work with Marketing Ops to build HubSpot views, dashboards and automations that clearly show registrations, attendees, meetings, opportunities, pipeline and revenue from field programs.
- Operate AI-first: Use AI for account research, guest-list building, outreach, vendor comparisons, event briefs, follow-ups, reporting, creating SLAs, landing pages, decks, ebooks, and for analysis. Find ways to run the function faster and better without waiting for someone else to drive it.
