Job description

About Us

At Dyson we believe everything could be better. Fuelled by a frustration with things that don’t work properly and a relentless obsession with making them work better, we’ve spent the last 25 years pioneering inventions and continually improving.

We’re growing fast. And our ambition is huge. But it’s not simply about more people and more profit. Dyson is all about better ideas and new technologies. It’s about inventing the future.

Our philosophy remains the same as it was 25 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner. We remain family-owned. We don’t bow to outside shareholders or report to the stock exchange. Instead we plot our own path, unshackled from conventional thinking.

The Role

The Head of Global Marketing Events is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping and delivering exceptional event experiences that reflect and elevate Dyson’s brand. This position combines strategic influence, creative vision, and operational excellence to ensure every event is purposeful, impactful, and aligned with Dyson’s global objectives.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership:
  • Define the creative and experiential direction for global marketing events, ensuring alignment with brand and business goals.
  • Influence senior stakeholders and contribute to decision-making on event design, purpose, and execution.
• Creative & Experiential Design:
  • Go beyond operational delivery - bring creativity and innovation to event concepts, physical spaces, and attendee experiences.
  • Ensure events deliver high-quality experiences that embody Dyson’s brand and product values.
  • Appreciation of physical space, experience design but also experience delivering.
• Brand Stewardship:
  • Protect Dyson’s brand integrity across all Global event touchpoints.
  • Evaluate whether events meet Dyson’s standards for experience and design; challenge and advocate for improvements when necessary.
• Operational Excellence:
  • Lead end-to-end event delivery globally, balancing creativity with flawless execution.
  • Manage budgets, timelines, and resources while maintaining premium quality standards.

About You

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading large-scale, high-profile events at a global level.
• Strong creative vision combined with operational rigor.
• Deep appreciation for brand, product, and experiential design - not just logistics.
• Ability to influence at senior levels and confidently advocate for the right outcomes. Be confident in Senior meetings to ensure Global Creative perspective is a strong focus.
• Expertise in evaluating event impact - both qualitative (brand experience) and quantitative (ROI, engagement metrics).

Attributes for Success

• Strategic thinker with a passion for creativity and innovation.
• Skilled in balancing design ambition with practical delivery.
• Collaborative leader who can inspire teams and partners globally.
• Resilient and persuasive - able to “fight for the ground” when protecting brand experience.

Benefits

Financial

• Performance-related bonus scheme
• Competitive pension scheme
• Life assurance
