We are seeking a dynamic, results-driven Industry Marketing Manager – Hospitality Cloud Segments to lead segment marketing strategy and execution across Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud (HC) business. This role is responsible for developing and executing integrated marketing plans that position Cvent as the technology partner of choice for hotels, venues, chains, and other hospitality organizations across all HC segments.

The ideal candidate is a B2B marketer with a passion for segment and industry marketing, a strong understanding of the hospitality ecosystem (from properties and venues to chains and partners), and a proven track record of building content and campaigns that drive pipeline, revenue, and brand awareness.

In This Role, You Will:

• Develop and execute strategic marketing plans to drive growth and pipeline across all Hospitality Cloud segments, in close partnership with demand generation, sales, account management, and client success.
• Own segment storytelling and positioning for Hospitality Cloud – clearly articulating Cvent’s differentiated value for hotels, venues, chains, and partners, and tailoring messaging to priority personas across the buying committee.
• Build and optimize multi-channel campaigns (digital, content, events, ABM, and more) that generate demand and expand Cvent’s footprint across HC accounts and segments.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product marketing, product management, demand generation, sales, client success, and partner teams to ensure programs are aligned to business objectives, customer insights, and industry trends.
• Localize and adapt messaging and content to address segment-specific challenges and opportunities (e.g., independents vs. chains, global vs. regional, property-level vs. corporate-level stakeholders).
• Identify and activate key industry partners and associations in the hospitality space to amplify Cvent’s presence, thought leadership, and influence across HC audiences.
• Support and execute Cvent-hosted and third-party events (webinars, conferences, trade shows, roundtables, and partner events) that drive engagement, lead generation, and expansion within HC segments.
• Partner with demand generation to track and analyze performance (lead and pipeline contribution, segment performance, and ROI) and use insights to inform optimization and future investments.
• Stay current on hospitality industry trends and competitive dynamics – including distribution, group and transient business, meetings and events, and technology adoption – to inform strategy and maintain Cvent’s leadership position.

Here’s What You Need:

• 6+ years of B2B marketing experience, with a focus on product, segment, or industry marketing; experience in hospitality, travel, or related technology strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success in developing and executing integrated, multi-channel marketing campaigns that drive measurable results (pipeline, bookings, and revenue).
• Strong understanding of hospitality buyer journeys and personas (e.g., sales, revenue management, marketing, operations, corporate decision-makers) and how to tailor messaging and content to each.
• Experience with marketing automation, CRM, and analytics tools (e.g., Salesforce, Marketo or similar) and using data to inform decisions.
• Excellent communication, storytelling, and project management skills, with a track record of effective cross-functional collaboration.
• Creative thinker with strong analytical skills and attention to detail, able to connect industry trends and customer needs to Cvent’s Hospitality Cloud solutions.
