Global Events Manager
What you’ll do
- Plan and strategize: Work with business leaders across the company to design events that align with our commercial goals and strategic brand vision.
- Deliver end-to-end event management: From concept to debrief: you’ll lead on logistics, vendor coordination, budget tracking, timelines, and on-site execution.
- Collaborate and build partnerships: Work closely with internal stakeholders like Sales, Product Marketing, and our creative agency to ensure event assets and messaging are aligned.
- Drive engagement and leads: Partner with Sales to build pre- and post-event engagement strategies that help us make the most of each opportunity.
- Lead with precision: Build clear project plans, manage risks, and keep everyone on track and informed.
- Bring fresh ideas: Keep a close eye on industry trends and find creative ways to keep our events one step ahead.
- Measure and learn: Set ambitious KPIS and analyze feedback to continuously improve how we do events.
- Shape great content: Ensure the content we showcase matches our brand, serves the event goals, and speaks to the people in the room (or online).
- Be flexible and solution-oriented: The events world isn’t a 9–5 kind of job, things change last minute, flights get delayed, printers break. You’ll need to stay calm, adjust on the fly, and always keep a smile in your back pocket.
- Managing vendor relationships: from sourcing and coordinating with venues, AV, and catering to negotiating contracts and ensuring smooth delivery on-site.
What you’ll need
- 4–6 years of experience managing events in a global, B2B environment
- A bachelor's degree in events related field
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills
- Strong project and stakeholder management skills
- Confidence in managing complex budgets
- A collaborative, can-do attitude
- The ability to stay cool under pressure and adapt quickly when things change
- A strong team player - we thrive together, not alone
- An inner Marie Kondo: you’re someone who finds joy in structured calendars, clean decks, and detailed to-do lists
- Flexibility: you're comfortable with last-minute changes, evening hours, and the hustle of event days - because no two days in events are ever the same
- A strong ability to navigate cross-cultural collaboration and confidently manage global stakeholders, with cultural awareness and sensitivity at the forefront of your communication style.
What’s nice to have
- Background in B2B SaaS. Experience with mobility/tech industries, developer audiences, or public sector
- A network of trusted event vendors and suppliers
- A knack for copywriting or content creation for event campaigns
- Experience working with virtual and hybrid event platforms (like Hopin, ON24, Sli.do, SplashThat or Cvent)
