Field Marketing& Events Manager

Pentimenti builds AI for bid and tender work. Our platform, Atlas, runs the proposal workflow rather than assisting around the edges of it: it reads the tender, retrieves a team's own approved content, drafts structured responses, and keeps win themes consistent across a submission. We also run TenderScout, a free tender search tool covering Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the wider EU, which is how a lot of teams meet us.

The company was founded by people who spent fifteen years on the buyer side, in procurement at Maersk, Carlsberg and CRH. That is not decoration on a slide. It is the reason we understand what an evaluator actually rewards, and it is the credibility our customers respond to when we sit down with them.

Across customers, teams using Pentimenti see on average 40% less time per proposal, a 30% higher win rate, and 85% of content automated, with a first usable draft in about two days.

Headquarters: Copenhagen. Customers across the Nordics, DACH and the UK.

There are two of us on the commercial side today, and we are growing that deliberately rather than quickly. This is the first dedicated marketing hire, which means two things you should weigh honestly.

The upside. You will own a channel outright. Nobody will hand you a brand book and a locked-down calendar. The event program, the follow-up engine and the nurture flows will be yours to design, and the founders are in the room with you rather than three layers above you.

The trade-off. There is no team under you, no agency on retainer, and no established playbook to inherit. Some weeks are strategic. Some weeks you are chasing a caterer about a nut allergy. Both weeks matter.

If that mix sounds energizing rather than alarming, keep reading.

A lot of field marketing job ads quietly omit this, and then the first hire is unhappy. So, plainly: this role includes the physical work of making events good.

• You will order and coordinate catering, and you will care about whether the coffee is decent.

• You will handle dietary requirements and allergies without being reminded.

• You will carry boxes, set out chairs, fix the projector cable, and print the badges.

• You will call people on the phone, to invite them, to confirm them, and to follow up.

• You will occasionally work an evening or travel within the Nordics for a session.

None of this is beneath the role. It is the role, alongside the strategic half. The people who are brilliant at this job tend to be the ones who take genuine pride in a room that feels effortless to everyone who walks into it.

• Roughly three to six years in B2B marketing, with real event experience, field marketing, event management, demand generation, or a generalist role at a small company where you did all of it.

• A generalist, not a specialist. You can write a decent email, build a landing page, clean a list, and run a room. None of it has to be world-class in isolation.

• Comfortable with marketing automation and CRM work: sequences, segmentation, forms, tracking, attribution that is honest about its limits.

• Writes and speaks clearly in English. Danish or another Nordic language is useful for the phone work but not required.

• Organised in a way that survives contact with reality, you keep a list, you chase your own deadlines, and things do not fall through when nobody is checking.

• Calm with senior people. You will be emailing and calling VPs and directors, and you will need to be warm and unintimidated at the same time.

• Genuinely comfortable with logistics, including catering. See the section above.

• A person who thrives with using all types of AI in their job, we are an AI first company.

• You are looking to manage a team, there is not one yet, and there will not be for a while.

• You want to work on brand strategy and positioning at arm's length from execution.

• You need a large budget and an agency to do good work.

• Practical logistics feel like a demotion rather than a craft.

1. Weeks 1–4

   Learn the market properly, sit in on customer calls, read past tenders, understand what a bid director actually does all day. Take over the running of the next scheduled event and the follow-up for the last one.

2. Weeks 5–8

   Run one event end to end as the owner. Recruit our first peer host from the existing customer base. Rebuild the follow-up sequence based on what you saw.

3. Weeks 9–12

   Have a rolling event calendar with named hosts and curated invite lists for the next quarter, a nurture track running, and a simple reporting view the whole team trusts.

1. 01

   A 30-minute conversation with the founder, about your experience and what you want next.

2. 02

   A working session: we will walk you through an upcoming event and ask how you would run it. Bring opinions, not a deck.

3. 03

   A conversation with one of our customers or an existing team member, so you can ask the awkward questions without us in the room.

4. 04

   Reference calls, then an offer.

No take-home assignment that we could use as free work. No panel of eight people. We will give you a decision either way, and we will tell you what we decided and why.

Salary

Base salary plus a bonus component (85 / 15).

Location

Copenhagen, hybrid. Regular presence in the office and at events is part of the job.

Travel

Occasional travel within the Nordics; some evening work around events.

Start date

Waiting for the right candidate.

Eligibility

You must be eligible to work in Denmark.
