** Vantor is evolving its marketing organization from separate business-unit teams into a more globally connected corporate function under Vice President of Marketing Lisa Om. The Sr. Manager of Events will play a key role in shaping how that new model comes to life in the market, building a more strategic, coordinated, and customer-focused approach to events across the enterprise.  The mandate extends well beyond event logistics.

As Vantor establishes its identity as a software-driven spatial intelligence company, this leader will use live experiences to elevate the company’s presence, deepen engagement with customers and partners, and ensure that event investments are aligned with broader commercial and marketing priorities.  The Sr. Manager will help determine where Vantor should show up, why it should be there, what experience it should create, and how success should be measured.

This includes bringing greater discipline to event selection and investment while continuing to support the needs of Vantor’s U.S. Government, International Government, and Enterprise businesses.  The role combines enterprise-level visibility with the opportunity to help shape how a newly integrated marketing organization operates across regions and business units. It therefore calls for an executive-polished leader who can represent Vantor in consequential settings, align diverse stakeholders, and still bring the hands-on operating mentality required to execute successfully.
