Field Marketing Manager, Sponsorship & Experiential - Temporal

Role Summary

Temporal has made a landmark investment as the front-of-shirt sponsor for Crystal Palace FC in the Premier League. This role is for a field marketer and campaign leader first—someone who can turn the sponsorship into a repeatable engine for UK awareness, customer/prospect engagement, and pipeline influence, with a particular focus on getting the right accounts and buying committees “in the seats” through hospitality and integrated field programs.

We’re looking for an experienced field marketer with sports sponsorship and experiential marketing experience, ideally from a larger technical/technology company (or with clearly transferable experience), who understands how to build campaigns that align tightly with Sales priorities and resonate with technical and developer audiences across London and the broader UK market.

Location:

• London strongly preferred.
• Candidates based within the United States can also be considered if they have strong connections to the London/UK developer community and are comfortable building local partnerships and delivering in-person activations.

What You’ll Do

• Lead integrated field marketing plans for the Crystal Palace sponsorship in the UK, translating business goals into campaigns that drive awareness, demand creation, and account engagement.
• Partner tightly with Sales:
  • Build strong operating rhythms with Sales leadership and account teams (planning, prioritization, follow-up, and measurement).
  • Proactively identify what Sales needs from Marketing to generate engagement and pipeline, and turn that into executable field programs.
  • Design account-driven experiences that help get the right customers and prospects into hospitality moments, events, and matchday experiences.
• Bring the Crystal Palace sponsorship to life through engaging field marketing experiences:
  • Build a season-long activation approach that supports account engagement, executive relationships, and pipeline influence.
  • Develop “in-seat” engagement plays (target account invites, curated hospitality experiences, executive hosting moments, post-match follow-up motions).
• Grow awareness with technical and developer audiences in the UK:
  • Create and scale programs that build Temporal’s presence with developers and technical communities in London and across the UK.
  • Partner with DevRel and local community leaders to create credible, high-signal experiences.
• Own the partnership execution with Crystal Palace:
  • Run operating cadences (weekly check-ins in-season, planning meetings, pre/post-event reviews).
  • Coordinate rights inventory planning and utilization (player/talent access, matchday assets, content moments, community initiatives).
  • Manage approvals, timelines, and deliverables while ensuring contractual expectations are met.
• Coordinate cross-functionally to fully integrate programs across content, PR, paid media, lifecycle/email, social, SDR/BDR follow-up, and partner channels.
• Own vendor and agency execution (experiential, production, creative, event partners) with high quality, operational rigor, and budget discipline.
• Measure impact and define success metrics to produce clear recaps and recommendations that improve outcomes throughout the season.

What You’ll Bring

• Strong field marketing and campaign leadership experience, ideally in a technical/technology company, with a track record of delivering integrated programs that support revenue goals.
• Proven ability to partner with and influence Sales, including comfort aligning priorities, driving joint planning, and building follow-up motions that convert engagement into pipeline.
• Experience leveraging events, hospitality, and experiential marketing to create meaningful account engagement, attract priority audiences, and inspire continued connection.
• Experience marketing to technical and developer audiences (developer platforms, infrastructure, tools, or similarly technical products preferred).
• Sponsorship and experiential experience (sports sponsorship strongly preferred), with comfort managing complex partnerships, rights packages, and high-visibility activations.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills to align stakeholders, run tight processes, and execute in fast-moving environments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with comfort presenting plans and recaps to senior stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• Experience managing a major sports sponsorship within a large technology company.
• DevRel exposure and/or existing connections in the London / UK developer community.
• Premier League sponsorship experience.
• Highly organized and outcomes-focused approach to running multiple programs in parallel.
• Collaborative mindset and strong taste/production instincts for high-visibility experiences.
• Comfort operating with imperfect attribution and ability to learn quickly and iterate.
