Are you an experienced event professional with a sharp eye for policy, compliance, and operational consistency?

We're looking for a Global Event Policy & Compliance Manager to help ensure that every event we deliver — from internal meetings to large-scale global experiences — aligns with company policies, sustainability goals, and operational best practices.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of event execution and governance — someone who knows what it takes to deliver world-class events but also understands the importance of consistent policy adherence across global teams.

What You’ll Do

Own Policy Development & Oversight

• Develop, maintain, and enforce event-related policies and procedures across our global events program.
• Serve as the go-to person for interpreting and applying event compliance standards.

Partner Across Regions

• Collaborate with event leads, marketing, legal, and operations across different geographies to ensure policy understanding and integration.
• Gather input, address challenges, and adapt guidance to meet both global and local needs.
• Educate stakeholders through webinars, playbooks, and one-on-one training to drive consistent policy application.
• Communicate policy updates clearly and effectively to non-technical audiences.

Track Sustainability & Impact

• Support sustainability reporting efforts related to event delivery and vendor partnerships.
• Help track and share progress against environmental and social impact metrics.

Use Tools to Enhance Transparency

• Leverage tools like Cvent, Excel, and Power BI to track compliance, performance, and adoption metrics.
• Create insightful reports and share key wins and risks with senior stakeholders.

What You Bring

Event Expertise

• 5+ years’ experience in event management or operations, preferably in a regional or global environment.
• You’ve seen the full event lifecycle and understand where policy fits into the bigger picture.

Policy & Compliance Mindset

• Experience developing or managing policies, procedures, or standards related to corporate events or marketing operations.
• You enjoy ensuring that things are done right — and consistently.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• You can navigate global teams, time zones, and business units with ease.
• Experience working with diverse stakeholders including Legal, Procurement, and ESG teams is a plus.

Strong Communication Skills

• You're comfortable leading trainings, writing policy documentation, and reporting to executives.
• You can turn complex requirements into clear and actionable guidance.

Tech-Savvy

• Working knowledge of Cvent or similar event tools.
• Skilled in data analysis and reporting using Excel, Power BI, or similar platforms.

Bonus Points For

? Experience with sustainability initiatives or reporting in events

? Certifications like CMP, CMM, or related event/governance credentials

? Familiarity with compliance, audit, or risk processes
