About the Role

We’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Head of Events to lead our global events strategy and execution. This is a key leadership role responsible for designing and delivering high-impact customer and partner experiences that drive awareness, engagement, and growth. You’ll oversee the entire event lifecycle—from concept and planning through delivery and post-event analysis—ensuring every touchpoint reinforces our brand and enhances the customer journey.

The role includes ownership of a dynamic event calendar, comprising:

• Two flagship events per year (one in H1 and one in H2) — large-scale, high-impact experiences that bring together customers, partners, and industry leaders.
• Regular small-scale events (bi-weekly or monthly), such as executive breakfast briefings, roundtables, or intimate networking sessions with targeted audiences and few stakeholders.
• Quarterly medium-sized events, including workshops, conferences, and partner-led sessions with medium-tier sponsorship or participation packages.

You’ll be equally comfortable developing strategy and getting into the details—leading cross-functional collaboration, ensuring consistent messaging, and delivering events that strengthen the customer journey and drive measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-end event ownership: lead the full lifecycle of events (in-person, hybrid, and virtual), including strategy, budgeting, planning, production, logistics, and post-event analysis.
• Strategic event roadmap: develop and deliver a comprehensive annual events program aligned with business objectives, marketing priorities, and customer engagement goals.
• Partner collaboration: manage and coordinate events that are part-funded through partner MDF (Market Development Funds), ensuring clear communication, compliance, and reporting.
• Consistent messaging: align partner and company objectives to create unified, on-brand messaging and customer experiences across all shared events.
• Customer journey integration: map events to key stages of the customer lifecycle to deepen engagement, support acquisition, and strengthen retention.
• Speaker management: oversee the identification, selection, and management of internal and external speakers—ensuring alignment with event themes, audience needs, and brand messaging.
• Vendor and contract management: source, negotiate, and manage relationships with external suppliers (venues, production agencies, AV, catering, and other event vendors) to ensure cost-effectiveness, quality, and compliance.
• Cross-functional leadership: collaborate closely with Sales, Product, Partner Marketing, and Customer Success to define event goals, generate leads, and measure ROI.
• Content and experience design: oversee agenda development and audience experience to deliver compelling, insight-driven programs.
• Team and vendor management: lead and inspire a high-performing internal events team and ensure external partners deliver to brief, budget, and timeline.
• Performance measurement: track, analyse, and report on event ROI, partner contribution, and customer impact to continuously improve effectiveness.

Required Experience & Skills

• Experience in event management, ideally within a B2B or technology-led environment.
• Proven success delivering large-scale, multi-stakeholder events with measurable commercial impact.
• Experience managing partner-funded (MDF) programs and ensuring brand alignment across multiple organizations.
• Deep understanding of customer experience and lifecycle marketing principles.
• Excellent project management, negotiation, and stakeholder communication skills.
• A strategic thinker who’s equally comfortable executing the details.
• Strong leadership and team development capabilities.

Success in this role will be evaluated against:

1. Strategic & Business Impact

• Pipeline contribution: % of marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) or sales pipeline attributed to events.
• Revenue influence: value of opportunities or deals influenced by event activity.
• ROI per event: cost-to-impact ratio (ROI) across all events, including partner-funded programs.
• Partner MDF utilisation: % of available MDF secured and effectively used within guidelines and timelines.
• Partner satisfaction: feedback from key partners on collaboration, execution quality, and outcomes.

2. Customer Experience & Engagement

• Customer engagement scores: event satisfaction (e.g. NPS or post-event survey ratings).
• Attendance metrics: registration-to-attendance conversion rate; target audience participation rate.
• Content engagement: session attendance, dwell time, and content consumption metrics (e.g. downloads, replay views).

3. Brand & Messaging Alignment

• Brand consistency: qualitative measure of how effectively brand and partner messaging is aligned across events.
• Speaker and agenda quality: alignment of event programming with strategic messaging and audience needs.

4. Operational Excellence

• Event delivery efficiency: on-time, on-budget delivery rates across the annual event portfolio.
• Cost management: variance between planned and actual event spend (company and partner-funded).
• Process and compliance: adherence to MDF guidelines, partner agreements, and internal governance.
• Innovation and improvement: introduction of new formats, technologies, or sustainability practices that improve impact or efficiency.

5. Leadership & Collaboration
