The Marketing team at RTA is looking for an Event Marketing Manager. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Marketing, this individual contributor will own the strategy, planning, execution, and performance of RTA's event and webinar programs. This person will help RTA grow through a well-executed event strategy that strengthens our brand presence, creates memorable experiences, elevates our thought leadership, and generates measurable business results.

The right team member understands that planning and execution both matter. A beautiful event that does not produce results is not enough, and a great strategy that falls apart onsite is not enough either. You'll own the full event lifecycle - choosing the right opportunities, building the plan and budget, coordinating all the moving pieces, creating an exceptional attendee experience, capturing and handing off leads, and measuring what happened afterward.

• Fully embraces team health and the principles behind eliminating the '5 Dysfunctions of a Team' (Patrick Lencioni).
• Will passionately care about our clients and the jobs they do. Our clients are government and trucking fleet managers, parts clerks, automotive technicians, and other fleet professionals who keep everything from squad cars and school buses to ambulances and public transportation safely moving.
• Confidently owns the Event Marketing Manager role while actively seeking collaboration and buy-in from others.
• Can pivot quickly when needed and maintain a positive attitude when the plan inevitably changes.
• Is willing to lift boxes, help with setup, clean floors, hold doors, or do whatever it takes to create a great experience.
• Thinks of themselves less, while not thinking less of themselves.
• Understands the power and impact of their words and actions.
• Constantly looks for more: more to learn, more to do, and more opportunity.
• Loves to read, learn, grow, and stretch themselves.
