Senior Global Events Manager

Program Ownership

Own a portfolio of global third-party sponsorships and exhibit programs end to end — strategy, negotiation, build, execution, and post-event measurement. Serve as a go-to partner for internal events and programs. Make the day-to-day calls on your programs: scope, tradeoffs, vendor selection, spend within budget, on-site changes. Escalate what's genuinely material, and decide the rest.

Experience & Creative

Shape what the experience actually feels like: booth concept, activations, content moments, hospitality. Bring ideas we haven't tried. Push back on the version of the event we ran last year when it isn't working anymore. Partner with Brand, Product Marketing, creative services, and key internal stakeholders to ensure the experience matches the brand story we're telling.

Flagship Industry Event

Take a defined leadership workstream on our flagship industry conference — a growing program where scope and structure will keep evolving — partnering closely with a cross-functional team spanning Marketing. Budget & Vendors

• Own program-level budgets: build them, forecast them, manage to them, and flag risk early rather than at reconciliation.
• Own vendor relationships — negotiate, hold partners to scope, and manage performance.

Qualifications

• You take a program and run it. You don't wait to be assigned next steps, and you don't hand problems back up without a recommendation attached. You spot the gap before it's raised, and you make sound decisions with incomplete information under time pressure.
• Demonstrated ability to work closely with C-suite leaders — setting and managing expectations, communicating clearly, and providing on-site support for speaking engagements and meetings.
• A pro at cross-functional collaboration — most of this job happens through people who don't report to you. You build real working relationships across the organization, get alignment without heavy process, and keep partners informed rather than surprised.
• You need context and priorities, not hand-holding. Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities — the org is changing, and this role will evolve with it.
• 5–8+ years in B2B events, ideally spanning both third-party sponsorships and owned/flagship events. You've been on-site when things went wrong, and you fixed them. Warm, credible, and easy to work with. You manage vendors firmly and executives calmly, and people want you on their event.
• Strongly Preferred: Creative instinct for experience design, not just flawless logistics. Experience at a company scaling its flagship event, or building an events program from a lean team. Comfort with budgets in the six figures and above, and with negotiating sponsorship packages. B2B tech or SaaS background; enterprise audience experience. Fluency with the usual stack — project management tools, Salesforce/marketing automation for lead flow, and event platforms.
