We’re looking for an experienced and driven Event Manager to join a fast-paced, international marketing team delivering a broad portfolio of B2B client-facing events across the EMEA region.
This is a role for someone who thrives on variety – managing multiple projects simultaneously, working across borders and building strong relationships with internal stakeholders, external agencies and venues.

- Coordinating stakeholders across multiple countries, functions and time zones
- Managing event logistics, attendee management, budgets and onsite delivery
- Working with CRM, invitation management and event technology platforms to support planning, communications and reporting
- Contributing to process improvements, automation initiatives and the team’s growing use of AI-enabled event tools
- Capturing event insights and delivering recommendations to improve future delivery
What We’re Looking For
- B2B event management experience, with a track record of independently managing events end-to-end
- Confident managing multiple concurrent events under pressure without dropping quality
- Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence across a matrixed, international organisation
- Genuine tech aptitude – experience with event platforms, CRM systems or marketing automation tools, and comfort learning new systems quickly
- An interest in process improvement, automation and emerging event technology
- Fluent English essential; additional European languages (French, German, Spanish or Italian) a bonus
- Background in financial services, insurance, professional services or a corporate event agency preferred
