Reports To: Vice President, Marketing

Location: Chicago, IL

Environment: Hybrid

Status: Exempt

Who We Are:

Leveraging a comprehensive range of services, data-centric network solutions, and a seamlessly integrated platform, we have established our prominence as a key player in the mid-market segment within the freight tech industry.

Whether you’re just starting your career or are an established professional looking for your next opportunity, Redwood inspires innovation across teams to provide transformative solutions for our customers.

Purpose of Your Work:

As the Field Marketing Manager working within Shared Services (one of our entities), you’ll sit at the intersection of Marketing, Sales, Partnership, and Revenue Operation – turning Redwood’s growth priorities into high-impact programs that deliver business impact.

You’ll build and run field marketing initiatives that create momentum: pipeline-generating events, targeted ABM experiences, regional and vertical campaigns, partner activations, and sales-enablement moments that move deals forward. This role is equal parts strategy and orchestration – connecting the “why” (business goals) to the “how” (plans, execution, measurement), and ensuring every program is aligned, well-supported, and measurable.

In short, you’ll help Redwood show up in-market with consistency and purpose – bringing teams together to deliver experiences that build trust, spark conversation, and drive revenue.

How You Make a Difference Everyday:

Cross-Functional Orchestration

• Partner closely with Sales, Business Development, Partnerships, Brand/Comms, and RevOps to plan and execute integrated field programs aligned to revenue goals.
• Serve as the quarterback for field initiatives – owning timelines, stakeholders, dependencies, comms and follow-through to ensure programs launch smoothly and drive outcomes.
• Align field strategy to the broader campaign calendar, promotion schedule, and business priorities (verticals, regions, segments).

Field Program Strategy and Execution

• Own a rolling field marketing plan for assigned regions / segments
• Lead planning and execution for customer and prospect-facing experiences, including:
  • Industry trade shows and conferences
  • Redwood-hosted events (executive dinners, workshops, roundtables, customer forums)
  • Partner co-marketing activations
  • Local / Regional “field plays” that support pipeline creation and progression
  • Represent Redwood at events and provide onsite support as needed.

Event and Experience Management

• Oversee end-to-end logistics: venue sourcing, vendors, contracts, shipping, booth assets, staffing schedules, run-of-show, and onsite execution.
• Coordinate internal participation: speaker prep, attendee enablement, staffing plans, and clear roles across teams.
• Distribute event plans, agendas, booth schedules, and post-event summaries to stakeholders.

Pipeline Accountability and Measurement

• Define goals, success metrics and reporting for field programs (e.g. registrations, attendance, meetings set, influenced pipeline, sourced pipeline, stage progression).
• Partner with RevOps and Demand Gen to ensure clean lead capture, routing, attribution, and follow-up.
• Track program spend, manage budgets, and communicate pacing / variance proactively.

You’ve Got This?

• Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience in Field Marketing, Event Management, or Demand Generation, preferably within the Logistics, Supply Chain, or SaaS industries.

• Proven track record of managing large-scale industry trade shows (e.g., Manifest, CSCMP, FreightWaves) and intimate executive-level events (dinners, roundtables).

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills for speaker prep, internal enablement, and post-event executive summaries.

• Willingness to travel (30–40%) to represent Redwood at regional and national events.

• CRM & Marketing Automation: Proficiency in Salesforce (for lead tracking and attribution) and HubSpot/Marketo (for campaign execution).

• Project Management: Comfort working within project management tools such as Wrike, Asana, or similar to manage complex timelines and cross-functional stakeholders.

• Data Literacy: Ability to pull reports and analyze program performance (ROI, pipeline influence, and cost-per-lead).

• Logistics: Familiarity with vendor contract negotiation, booth shipping logistics, and onsite production.

• Budget Management: High financial acumen for tracking program spend and managing variances across multiple regions.
