About the Role

Postman is looking for a Global Field Events Lead to drive pipeline growth and deepen relationships with our most important customers, prospects, and partners through high-impact global field events and executive engagement programs.

This role sits within Revenue Marketing and is focused on turning field events — flagship moments, executive summits, regional activations, and industry presence — into a reliable pipeline and retention engine across both product-led and sales-led growth motions. You’ll own how Postman shows up to the executives, developer leaders, and partners who matter most to the business, and how every event moves deals forward.

We’re looking for someone who thinks in terms of pipeline, retention, and executive trust — not registrations or stage time — and who knows how to build field event programs that compound over time and scale globally.
