Field Marketing Specialist Location: Canada | Remote Field Marketing Type: Permanent | Full-Time At Solink, our mission is to safeguard what matters most . We provide businesses with the tools to know sooner and act faster by transforming video security into real-time operational insights. This empowers teams to make data-driven decisions, enhance security, and improve operational efficiency.
Our solutions help businesses reduce shrink, optimize performance, and respond proactively to potential threats. We’ve been recognized by Deloitte’s Fast 50™ and Fast 500™, Business Intelligence Group, and as one of Ottawa’s Best Places to Work. Solink is looking for a Field Marketing Specialist to execute our trade show and field event program across North America.
You’ll own individual events end-to-end: contracts and deadlines, booth logistics, shipping, staffing plans, on-site set-up and tear-down, lead capture, and the post-event report. You’ll run the pre-show outreach and post-show follow-up that turn a booth into booked meetings, partner closely with Sales and SDRs on meeting targets by territory, and keep lead data clean enough that we can tell which events are actually worth the money. This role suits someone who thrives on logistics and deadlines but thinks like a marketer, the person who catches the shipping deadline everyone else missed, works autonomously within a defined calendar, escalates risks early rather than late, and comes to their manager with recommendations rather than just problems.
Expect roughly 25-35% travel, concentrated in event season. Own assigned trade shows, conferences, and field events end-to-end: contracts and deadlines, booth space and design, shipping and drayage, staffing plans, hotel blocks, giveaways, signage, AV, and demo stations. Build the event brief for each show — goals, target accounts, messaging, staffing roster, run of show, and success metrics — so everyone attending knows what they’re there to do.
Travel to major events to lead on-site execution, including set-up and tear-down, booth staffing, troubleshooting, and keeping the team on schedule. Maintain the event asset inventory - booth properties, collateral, demo hardware, branded merchandise - in show-ready condition between events.
Pipeline & Follow-Through Run pre-show outreach and meeting-booking campaigns in partnership with Sales and SDRs, including target account lists and talk tracks for reps working the booth.
Own lead capture and data hygiene end-to-end: scanner configuration, list cleanup, CRM and marketing automation routing, campaign attribution, and handoff to Sales within SLA. Deliver a post-event report on every show - cost per lead, cost per meeting, influenced and sourced pipeline, and a recommendation on whether to return. Manage day-to-day relationships with booth vendors, shipping and fulfillment partners, promotional product suppliers, venues, and event organizers.
Support localized programs that back specific territories - regional webinars, customer dinners, lunch-and-learns, and co‑marketing activity with channel partners and integrators.
