At Moxie, we empower ambitious aesthetic entrepreneurs to build profitable, independent practices-without burnout, overwhelm, or guesswork. In just a few years, we've grown from an idea to a global, remote-first team of more than 140 people, supporting hundreds of practices nationwide.
Our purpose is simple: to unlock sustainable success for aesthetic entrepreneurs, at every stage of their journey.
Events Marketing Manager
We're looking for a detail-obsessed, fast-moving, and creative Events Marketing Manager to join our growing marketing team and help lead the events strategy.
You'll also be stepping into a key role on the marketing team, using events to accelerate deals, strengthen our brand, and drive high-impact pipeline growth.
We're building our marketing muscle and you'll be part of our events marketing team. That means you'll shape everything-from playbooks to processes to the creative vision. You'll collaborate across sales, success, and brand, and get to architect how Moxie shows up in the world.
Our Objectives for the Role
Drive pipeline and revenue through strategic, well-executed events aligned to GTM priorities
Own the end-to-end execution of virtual, field, and sponsored events
Partner cross-functionally to integrate events into broader campaigns and sales motions
Create scalable systems and repeatable playbooks that grow with the business
What Success Looks Like
Events consistently generate qualified pipeline and accelerate sales velocity
Event benchmarks (show rate, post-event engagement, ROI) improve through thoughtful iteration
Systems for planning, execution, and reporting are efficient, repeatable, and documented
Cross-functional stakeholders rely on and champion events as a key GTM lever
Creative brand moments and flagship experiences reinforce Moxie's market presence

We have much left to build. But given the market feedback we're getting and our founding team's company-building experience, we think we are writing the first chapters of a real success story.
Experience taking over as the growth leader building on early product-market fit. A role like this molds to its owner, but inevitably stretches and grows you as well.
Competitive salary and stock, and generous health/dental/vision coverage
This role is perfect for someone who wants to own the whole show-from logistics to creative concepting to revenue results.
You'll:
Have creative freedom to design experiences that make people stop, think, and remember
See your work tied directly to pipeline, product launches, and strategic goals
Move fast and iterate often-not trapped in long approval cycles or big-company red tape
Work with a tight-knit, ambitious marketing team that values clarity, speed, and great execution
Join a culture that values craft, creativity, and momentum
Go from "executor" to event architect - with real influence on how a breakout brand shows up in the world
At Moxie, we believe in creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, trusted, and included. Our team lives by our values: act as owners, give more than we take, move with speed and care, and simplify and learn every day.
