We are looking for an experienced and highly organized Manager, Global Events to join our growing Global Events team, based in North America. This role will play a key part in delivering our global events strategy, with a particular focus on major industry trade shows and conferences across North America.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the planning and execution of major industry trade shows and conferences across North America. Manage end-to-end event delivery, from initial planning and budgeting through to execution, measurement, and post-event analysis.
Cook up all key event components including booth/stand builds, sponsorships, speaking opportunities, meeting programs, customer experiences, hospitality, branding, signage, technology, staffing, and logistics. Work closely with sales and marketing teams to ensure events generate meaningful engagement, pipeline, customer relationships, and brand awareness.
Manage relationships with event organizers, venues, production companies, agencies, suppliers, and strategic partners. Oversee event budgets, contracts, timelines, purchase orders, and supplier deliverables. Ensure a consistent and high-quality brand experience across all major events. Identify opportunities to maximize event investment through sponsorships, partnerships, content, meetings, customer programs, and experiential activations.
Support the planning and delivery of Tier 1 internal and external events, including executive events, customer events, partner programs, leadership meetings, employee experiences, and strategic corporate events. Work cross-functionally with internal stakeholders to define event objectives, audiences, messaging, and success measures. Develop and manage detailed project plans, timelines, run-of-show documents, budgets, and operational checklists. Coordinate executive and VIP participation, ensuring a seamless experience before, during, and after each event. Support event strategy across the wider global events calendar, helping ensure consistency, prioritization, and effective use of resources.
Partner closely with Marketing, Sales, Communications, Product Marketing, Customer Success, technical, channel, analyst relations, and our leadership team. Act as the primary events point of contact for assigned programs and stakeholders. Collaborate with regional and global teams to ensure North American events align with the broader global events strategy. Share best practices, learnings, and insights across the global events organization.
Establish and track event KPIs, including attendance, engagement, meetings, pipeline influence, customer participation, and ROI. Produce post-event reporting and recommendations to improve future programs. Use data and stakeholder feedback to continually optimize event strategy, investment, and execution. Maintain accurate event documentation and reporting across the global events portfolio.
What We're Looking For
3–5 years of professional events experience, ideally within a technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, cloud, or B2B environment.
Proven experience managing large-scale trade shows and industry conferences, such as Black Hat, RSA Conference, AWS re, or comparable events.
Strong end-to-end event management experience, from strategy and planning through to execution and post-event analysis.
Experience managing event budgets, vendors, agencies, contracts, timelines, and multiple workstreams simultaneously.
Strong project management and organizational skills, with exceptional attention to detail.
Comfortable working with senior executives, customers, partners, and cross-functional leadership.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, global environment with changing priorities and tight deadlines.
Commercially minded, with an understanding of how events contribute to brand, customer engagement, sales, and pipeline objectives.
Willingness to travel extensively across North America and internationally when required.
The Ideal Candidate
You are an experienced events professional who can both think strategically and roll up your sleeves to get things done. You understand that a successful event is about much more than logistics. You know how to create experiences that bring a brand to life, engage customers and prospects, support sales teams, and deliver measurable business impact. You are confident managing complex programs with multiple stakeholders, are calm under pressure, and have a strong eye for detail. You are equally comfortable developing an event plan in advance of a program and solving an unexpected issue on the show floor. Most importantly, you are collaborative, commercially aware, proactive, and passionate about delivering best-in-class events.
