Job Description

Are you a strategic Events Manager with a passion for turning brand presence into real-world impact? Our client, a global leader in their space, is looking for an Events & Marketing Manager to drive audience engagement, lead generation, and brand experience through powerful event marketing strategies.

This isn’t just an event operations role—it’s about leveraging events as a marketing tool to enhance brand visibility and generate high-quality leads. You’ll take the brand from digital to physical touchpoints, ensuring that every event maximises engagement and business impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Event Execution & Ownership – Lead the full event lifecycle, from planning and promotion to on-site execution and post-event analysis.
  • Event Marketing & Promotion – Develop integrated marketing campaigns (email, social media, content) to drive attendance, engagement, and sales opportunities.
  • Audience Engagement & Lead Generation – Implement strategies to capture and nurture leads ensuring strong ROI
  • Collaboration & Sponsorships – Work closely with Sales, Product, and Partnerships to align event objectives with business goals.
  • On-Site Event Leadership – Represent our client at key events
What You’ll Bring
  • 5+ years’ experience in event management and marketing, audience engagement, or a related field (EdTech, SaaS, or B2B experience preferred).
  • A strategic mindset with a focus on using events as a marketing and lead generation tool, not just as logistics.
  • Strong marketing and campaign execution skills, including email marketing, content creation, and audience targeting.
  • Experience in brand activation and in-person engagement strategies.
  • Proven ability to work cross-functionally and translate business objectives into impactful event experiences.
  • Willingness to travel and represent the brand at global events.
What’s in It for You?
  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Flexibility with international travel opportunities
  • The opportunity to shape event marketing strategy and make a measurable impact
  • A collaborative, innovative, and passionate team
If you’re a marketing professional who knows how to translate brand presence into high-impact, lead-generating event experiences, we’d love to hear from you! Apply now.
