  • Event Execution: Own the planning, promotion, vendor management, logistics, and follow-up to deliver seamless events.

  • Regional Expertise: Bring a deep understanding of EMEA audiences, adapting events to resonate with the market.

  • Track and Optimize Results: Measure the impact of events on pipeline generation, maturation, and closed-won deals. Refine strategies and continuously improve ROI through data-driven insights.

  • Global Collaboration: Partner with Corporate and Growth Marketing teams to stay aligned on strategy and priorities.

What You'll Bring:

  • 3+ years of event marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or enterprise industries in EMEA.

  • Strong knowledge of the EMEA market and ability to tailor strategies to regional needs.

  • Highly organized, with strong project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.

  • A hands-on, resourceful mindset—you thrive in fast-paced environments and figure things out on the go.

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills to align with global teams and deliver results.

  • Familiarity with marketing tools like Salesforce, Marketo, or event platforms such as Splash.
