The company
Marketing teams spend $1.5 trillion a year on various channels and programs. And yet most of those capital allocation decisions are guided by gut feel, broken attribution, and backward-looking metrics.
Paramark helps them optimize spend across all their channels and programs. There are proven scientific ways to do this, but they are poorly understood and practiced by only a tiny fraction of teams. Companies waste millions on campaigns that don’t work, while failing to invest in critical long-term initiatives whose impact is harder to measure. Most are sorely lacking in both measurement and experimentation capability.
We’re fixing this by creating a system of action that teams will use to understand, to forecast the impact of their investments, and to experiment with new ideas. The opportunity is huge: 100k+ mid-market businesses worldwide, spending $1.5T on marketing annually, with a large chunk of that going to waste. Our target customer spends between $10M and $100M+ on Marketing annually.
We founded the company in 2023 and have strong traction. Our customers include both consumer and business brands like Square, Chime, Ramp, Rippling, Toast, Speak, and more.
We work 3-5 days a week from our office in San Francisco. We truly believe the best results come from in-person collaboration, but we also want to strike the right balance and give everyone the flexibility they need to enjoy life outside of the office. Our existing team respects the need to not have work be your life, but understands the importance of scaling a new business in a collaborative environment.
We’ve raised $8M from Greylock and several CXO-level advisors and angels from companies like Open AI, Dropbox, Salesforce, Asana, and P&G.

The opportunity
Your role
Events and partnerships are a critical lever for Paramark. They’re where abstract ideas become tangible, trust is built face-to-face, and a new category takes shape in the minds of buyers. This role is an opportunity to turn Paramark’s point of view into lived experiences—bringing our methodology, stories, and community to life through standout events and high-signal partnerships.
You’ll be part of the Marketing team, working closely with the VP Marketing, Marketing Manager, GTM Engineer, and our sales team. This is a small, senior group with high ownership and a strong bias toward action.
You’ll design moments that matter—whether that’s an intimate CMO dinner, a bold conference presence, or a partner activation that makes people rethink how marketing measurement should work. There’s no rigid hierarchy here. You’ll have autonomy, trust, and a clear mandate to build something meaningful.
You’ll own events and partnerships end-to-end—from strategy to execution to learning.
That includes:
- Designing an events strategy that supports category creation, trust-building, and long-term demand (not just short-term leads)
- Creating high-quality experiences for CMOs and senior marketing leaders (dinners, roundtables, field events, conferences)
- Developing and managing strategic partnerships with communities, media brands, and adjacent platforms
- Working closely with content and product marketing to ensure every event reinforces Paramark’s POV on experimentation, incrementality, and modern measurement
- Treating events as experiments: forming hypotheses, defining success, and learning what truly moves the needle
- Raising the bar on what “B2B events” can feel like—thoughtful, differentiated, and worth people’s time
This is a builder role. You’ll be shaping the playbook, not following one.
You’re equal parts creative and analytical. You care deeply about craft—great venues, sharp guest lists, thoughtful programming—but you’re also obsessed with why something worked (or didn’t). You don’t run events “because that’s what companies do.” You run them because they create belief, momentum, and shared language.
- 5+ years in events, partnerships, or field marketing (B2B SaaS or adjacent worlds)
- A track record of owning events or partnerships from concept to execution
- Experience working with senior audiences (CMOs, VPs, founders, execs)
- Strong project management skills—you can juggle many moving parts without dropping the ball
- Excellent judgment around brand, messaging, and audience experience
- Comfort working cross-functionally with content, product marketing, sales, and leadership
- Marketing as a craft and a discipline
- Experimentation, learning, and continuous improvement
- Building communities, not just campaigns
- Challenging outdated playbooks and category norms
- Creating experiences people actually talk about afterward
- Helping marketers feel confident, credible, and proud of their impact
Benefits and culture
- Many of us have kids, family lives, and health problems to manage. We don’t think early stage startup life requires 18 hour days, or even 12 hour days. We’re intent on building a different kind of culture, one that is truly sustainable. That means reasonable working hours (we’re out of the office before 6), taking a break when we need it, and checking in with each other. Our Purpose, Mission, and Values guide us.
- Simple Time off policy : all federal holidays plus 4 weeks of PTO per year. Health comes first, and everyone needs to take time off to recharge and rejuvenate.
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance provided with 100% of employee premiums / 50% of family premiums covered.
