Day to day you will:

• Lead the end-to-end operational delivery of assigned summits and forums, keeping quality high, brands aligned, and projects profitable.
• Manage production agencies, AV specialists, set designers, and venue teams on site during build, live delivery, and de-rig.
• Partner with commercial, editorial, and marketing teams to align stage content, speaker logistics, and sponsor activations.
• Oversee event budgets, purchase orders, financial forecasting, and post-event reconciliation to protect commercial margins.
• Streamline workflows using tools like Smartsheet, Slack, and emerging AI technologies to elevate the delegate experience.

What we’re looking for from you:

• Experience within an events role with a demonstrable track record of producing and delivering B2B events.
• A background in delivering B2B events and multi-track conferences while managing overlapping deadlines and concurrent delivery schedules.
• Experience managing corporate sponsors, delegates, and senior decision-makers in an event environment.
• Deep technical understanding of AV, staging, run-of-shows, room management, and venue operations.
• Financial acumen in tracking event budgets and negotiating competitive supplier rates to preserve profitability.
• Clear, confident communication that enables you to guide internal teams and external clients under tight deadlines.
• A calm, resourceful problem-solving approach when navigating live operational challenges on site.
