• Plan and deliver conferences, seminars, workshops, customer events and partner activities, ensuring clear objectives, target audiences, meeting goal and objectives, lead capture and post‑event follow‑up.
• Support account‑based marketing where appropriate, including target account identification, local messaging adaptation and sales engagement planning.
• Work with sales, distributors, OEMs, product specialists, applications and service teams to identify customer needs, content gaps, local proof points and competitive threats.
• Track local campaign and event performance, support CRM data capture, and provide regular insight, learnings and recommendations to regional stakeholders.
