Overview

Knit is looking for a strategic field and community marketer to build a real, ongoing relationship between Knit and the market researcher community, not just run a good conference booth. This role owns our conference presence (using an already-repeatable playbook), designs and runs regional roadshows, and builds an always-on virtual community for market researchers, so Knit's brand presence in the industry doesn't reset to zero between events.

This role will partner closely with Marketing Operations & Campaigns and demand generation team on logistics like lead tracking and follow-up, but your mandate is building community, advocacy, and differentiated in-person/virtual programming, not campaign execution or systems administration.

What You'll Own

Conferences & Regional Roadshows

• Execute Knit's conference presence using our established playbook; reliable and on-brand, without needing to reinvent logistics each time
• Plan and run regional roadshows in partnership with Product Marketing, featuring thought leadership, product showcases, customer stories, and networking
• Adapt programming to each local market, no copy-pasting a generic or US-centric format into other regions
• Design in-person touchpoints specifically aimed at reaching Fortune 500 / target ICP accounts, not just general conference foot traffic

Community & Content-Led Programming

• Build and run an ongoing virtual community for market researchers; a reason for our audience to stay engaged between events vs just a mailing list
• Design content-led community formats anchored in Knit's proprietary data a

and build new formats, not just execute a checklist

• Comfortable partnering with an operations/campaigns function on logistics without owning those systems yourself
• Bonus: Experience in the market research / insights industry, or familiarity with its conference circuit (Quirks, IIeX, etc.)

What Success Looks Like

• The virtual community has active, returning members between events, not just event-day attendance
• Conference execution runs smoothly off the existing playbook, freeing up time for strategic programming rather than logistics firefighting
• Regional roadshows feel impactful and relevant, and are a successful Knit owned initiative
• Target ICP accounts have real in-person touchpoints with Knit that build authentic relationships
• A growing, visible pipeline of customer advocates: speakers, references, case studies
