About Dust

Work is being rewritten, and the people holding the pen are the ones who actually run it.

We call them AI operators: the employees inside companies who build, deploy, and run AI agents for their teams, without waiting for someone to hand them a tool. Dust is the platform they choose to rewire how their company works.

With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We don't get piloted and shelved. We land once, and spread. We're at an exciting stage of our journey, and growing fast.

We're serving great customers like Datadog, 1Password, Cursor, Clay, and Persona, and aim to x5 our growth by the end of 2026.

Dust is backed by Sequoia with a determined team of optimists (coming from Stripe, OpenAI, and Stanford) who like to focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously while doing so. The Generalist named us among the Future 50.

Summary

We're looking for a driven and operationally sharp Field Marketing Manager to own Dust's sales-driven event strategy across the US market.

This is a high-impact, pipeline-focused role. You won't just be organizing events, you'll be directly accountable for generating qualified pipeline through executive dinners, curated sessions for business leaders, and strategic presence at key US tech and AI conferences.

You will be embedded within the Marketing team, working hand-in-hand with the US Sales team to ensure every event translates into real business outcomes: meetings booked, leads converted, deals opened.

Responsibilities

Own the US Sales Event Calendar and collaborate closely with the EMEA Field Marketing team

Build and maintain the US field event calendar. Benchmark events constantly to ensure the best coverage and ROI, and conduct discovery calls to validate relevance before committing
Partner closely with the EMEA Field Marketing Manager on cross-territory events and initiatives. Share learnings, retros, and best practices across regions to sharpen the overall event strategy
Negotiate packages with event vendors and venues

Drive Pipeline Through Events

Design and execute a pre/during/post-event playbook in close coordination with the Sales and SDR teams to maximize lead capture, follow-up quality and speed-to-pipeline
Own CRM hygiene: track leads, update HubSpot, and report on event performance
Coordinate with SDRs and AEs on account targeting before each event (guest list curation, outreach sequences, day-of briefings)

Execute Flawlessly on the Ground

Own all event logistics end-to-end: retroplanning, venue sourcing, catering, speakers, materials, onsite coordination
Be present and hands-on at events — you're not just the organizer, you're a key part of the team on the floor
Travel to events across the US regularly (est. 1–2x/month)

Create Event Content and Communications

Develop pre- and post-event content in coordination with the content team (emails, LinkedIn posts, event pages, one-pagers) tailored to target accounts and personas
Work with the broader Marketing team to adapt assets to US market tone and priorities

Measure and Improve

Report on event ROI: leads generated, pipeline created, conversion rates
Run structured retros after each event and implement learnings in the next cycle
Help the team sharpen the strategy every quarter

What We're Looking For

5-10 years of B2B marketing experience in a demand-gen or field marketing role, preferably in tech/SaaS
Proven track record of executing events that directly generate pipeline and revenue
Strong project management skills: you can run 5 events in parallel without dropping the ball
Sales-first mindset: you understand that events are a pipeline tool, not a PR exercise
Excellent interpersonal skills and low ego, you know how to work with a busy Sales team, get the information you need, and give them the support they need to close
Comfortable with HubSpot or equivalent CRM for lead tracking and campaign measurement
Thrives in fast-paced environments with a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves attitude
Based in San Francisco or New York, able to travel regularly across the US
Experience with account-based marketing strategies and coordinating with ABM programs
Track record of building field marketing programs from the ground up at scaling organizations

Bonus Points

Experience in the AI/ML or enterprise software space
Experience using Dust (or similar AI productivity tools)
Experience supporting enterprise or mid-market sales teams through field marketing
Existing network in the US tech/AI ecosystem

Compensation and Benefits

Competitive compensation: $120,000–$160,000 base salary
Significant equity package in a Sequoia-backed startup
Health insurance for you and your dependents
New MacBook Pro or Linux machine, monitor, keyboard, etc.
Beautiful office in the heart of San Francisco
Opportunity to travel to Paris multiple times a year
Regular team events and offsites

We can go higher for outstanding profiles.

Location

We're prioritizing building our team with an in-person culture at our offices in Paris and San Francisco, because we value the magic that happens when talented people work closely together.

Why Dust

The models are powerful enough. What's missing is the product layer where AI meets how companies actually work. That's what we're building: the infrastructure that lets any team turn scattered knowledge and tools into coordinated execution with agents they build, own, and run themselves.

We use Dust ourselves every day. We get to shape how humans and agents collaborate while solving our own problems with the product we ship. That loop is rare, and it's why we move fast.

If you're excited about defining a new category and want to join a determined team of optimists who focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously, we'd love to talk.

Even if you don't check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we're more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
