• Managing the company's presence as an exhibitor and sponsor at major trade shows and conferences, ensuring each event is professionally executed and supports wider marketing and commercial objectives.
• Taking responsibility for the end-to-end exhibitor journey, including sponsorship packages, exhibition space, stand design and build, signage, branding, collateral, merchandise, equipment, shipping, registrations, passes and on-site logistics.
• Working closely with Sales to coordinate attendance, brief teams ahead of events and make sure they have the messaging, collateral and information needed to get maximum value from each opportunity.
• Managing relationships with conference organisers, venues, stand contractors, production partners and other external suppliers.
• Delivering company-owned events, including customer and executive briefings, partner events and the business's flagship annual user conference.

• Maintaining a clear forward events calendar and managing multiple overlapping deadlines across different countries and time zones.

THE IDEAL MARKETING MANAGER WILL HAVE:

• A highly collaborative working style and experience partnering closely with Sales, Demand Generation and wider Marketing teams.
• Confidence working hands-on with marketing and events technology. You don't need to be a systems administrator, but should be comfortable looking up records in platforms such as Salesforce or Marketo and pulling event reporting from platforms such as Cvent. Experience with Asana would be a bonus.
• Excellent supplier and stakeholder management skills, alongside the confidence to take ownership and solve problems quickly when plans change.
• Willingness to travel internationally, predominantly within London and Europe, with an annual trip to Australia and a small number of trips to the US each year.
