LocalGrowth&FieldCommunityLead

We want to further connect hyper-locally with our hospitality customers and prospects in key cities in The UK, and ensure Lightspeed is top of mind when they think of their tech partner. That’s where you come in: you’ll be the ultimate connector, part event planner, part content creator, and part relationship manager, owning the local vibe and growth strategy from the ground up! What you'll do: - Launch the Anchor Mission: Map out and enlist our most respected existing customers: your local legends! You’ll use them as the "anchors" to host killer events, attracting new prospects and key local industry influencers (like top chefs, consultants, and power players). - Network Ninja: Identify and forge strong relationships with all the right external stakeholders: key prospects, influencers, and local entities (think trade associations) to build an unbeatable local network. - Throw "Scrappy but Cool" Events: Ideate, run and measure the impact of high-vibe local gatherings, from quick morning breakfasts and working lunches to exclusive late-night networking, hosted right at customer sites to build a real community. - Boots-on-the-Ground Content Producer: Forget the studio. Grab your phone and capture "raw and real" customer stories working in close collaboration with our social team. You’ll be the one capturing the unique moment that will be turned into viral video snippets for social media and compelling case studies for our sales decks. - Fuel the Sales Fire: Keep local Field sales materials absolutely fresh and armed with the latest data and compelling stories you gather from your cities. - Internal Collaborator: You won’t fly solo! You'll partner closely with Regional Integrated Marketing Managers (for overall strategy), Regional Field Sales teams (turn your work into revenue), Account Managers (expand your footprint among existing customers), Product Marketing (increase awareness of our products), Social Media Specialists and Content (for creative and tool inputs) an
