• Plan and manage approximately 13–16 trade shows and industry events annually, including several in Europe

• Help improve follow-up and lead management from events and campaigns
• Support marketing for a scientific instrumentation product line

Requirements

• Several years of hands‑on marketing experience, ideally within life sciences, pharmaceuticals, research services, diagnostics, medical devices, laboratory products, animal health, or another technical industry
• Experience marketing to scientific, research, healthcare, or other highly technical audiences
• Strong trade show or event marketing experience, including logistics and on‑site execution
• Broad marketing capabilities across content, digital, social media, campaigns, website management, and collateral
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Comfortable operating independently and taking ownership without waiting for detailed direction
• Strong organization and project‑management skills
• Working knowledge of WordPress or another website content management system

Why this opportunity?

• Direct partnership with company leadership
• Opportunity to modernize and shape the marketing function
• Exposure to highly technical products and scientific customers
• Collaborative culture with strong employee retention
• Employee ownership and long‑term investment in the company’s success
• Predictable core business hours with limited evening or weekend work outside of travel periods
