The Opportunity

The B2B event marketing team is looking for a strategic and results-driven Marketing Manager to own and scale this channel - events are strategic levers for growth, activation, and relationship building.

This is not a logistics-led role. While operational execution is a critical component, this position sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, shaping how events drive measurable business impact at scale, it lies in strategic planning, stakeholder orchestration, and building scalable frameworks that elevate events into a measurable business growth engine.

We are looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, builds clarity through frameworks, and can lead complex cross-functional initiatives with discipline and influence, can earn strong stakeholder trust and executive confidence.

Traditional event production experience is not a prerequisite. A background in consulting, strategy, PMO, is highly valued and encouraged to apply.

As a key player in the marketing and sales ecosystem, you will work closely with regional sales teams and business development teams to ensure that events align with business priorities, enable and support business objectives, and contribute directly to revenue goals. You’ll be responsible for end-to-end event management.

1. Event Strategy & Business Integration

Translate commercial priorities into event strategies with clear business cases

2. Cross-Functional Leadership

4. Performance Measurement & Optimization

Build measurement frameworks and post-event impact analysis
Identify key performance levers and iterate based on data
Develop dashboards to track ROI and business outcomes
Introduce test-and-learn approaches to improve effectiveness

Business operations in high-growth environments

You likely demonstrate:
