Lead on-site delivery and problem-solving, ensuring a seamless experience and high execution standards across European events.
Support the Head of Marketing Europe with business travel, calendar coordination and expense processing.
What You'll Bring:
5+ years of relevant event management experience, with proven independent ownership of complex events from strategy through delivery.
Strong strategic and commercial understanding of how events support customer relationships, growth, brand and thought leadership.
Strong project and stakeholder management skills, with confidence to influence senior stakeholders, manage competing priorities and make decisions independently.
Proven experience managing agencies, suppliers, venues, sponsorships and contracts, including commercial negotiations and quality control.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence, negotiate, and build trust across cultures and seniority levels.
