We're looking for an experienced Global Events Manager to plan, execute, and optimize a portfolio of corporate events focusing on our flagship Roadshow program, Customer Advisory Board and a number of other activities that are key to customer engagement and company growth. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on logistics, loves a well-run project plan, and can manage a budget as confidently as they manage a room full of vendors on event day. You'll partner closely with Marketing, Sales, and cross-functional teams to deliver events that support pipeline generation, brand visibility, and customer engagement.

Essential functions

• Own the end-to-end planning and execution of company events, including conferences, trade shows, webinars, sponsorships, and internal/client events
• Develop detailed project plans and timelines, managing multiple events simultaneously without dropping a ball
• Build, track, and manage event budgets — negotiating with vendors, reconciling spend, and reporting on ROI
• Source and manage relationships with venues, vendors, caterers, AV teams, and contractors
• Coordinate logistics including travel, shipping, booth/signage production, staffing, and on-site execution
• Manage event data and workflows in Monday.com, keeping stakeholders aligned on status and deliverables
• Use Salesforce and Marketo to track event-sourced leads, registration data, and post-event follow-up campaigns
• Build clear, polished presentations and post-event reports for leadership, summarizing outcomes, spend, and recommendations
• Manage calendars and travel arrangements for key speakers, delegates and ARIS executives.
• Maintain detailed spreadsheets for budgets, run-of-show documents, vendor contacts, and attendee tracking on Monday.com
• Travel on-site to manage event setup, execution, and breakdown as needed
• Continuously identify process improvements to make events run more efficiently

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in event management, project management, or a related field
• Proven experience managing event budgets from planning through reconciliation
• Strong project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple events and deadlines at once
• Hands-on experience with Monday.com, Salesforce, and Marketo (or similar CRM/marketing automation tools)
• Advanced proficiency in spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and presentation tools (PowerPoint/Google Slides)
• Excellent vendor negotiation and relationship management skills
• Outstanding organizational skills and an obsessive attention to detail
• A calm, solutions-oriented approach when things inevitably go sideways on-site
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, comfortable presenting to leadership
• Willingness to travel (international 30-40%)

Nice to Have

• Experience in fast-growth, SaaS environments
• Familiarity with virtual/hybrid event platforms
• Experience managing trade show booths or large-scale conference presence
• PMP or CMP certifications

What’s In It For You

• Competitive compensation and country-specific benefits.
• Flexible working model depending on country and local policy.
• Opportunity to work with enterprise customers across industries on complex transformation challenges.
• Professional growth through exposure to process intelligence, AI-driven transformation, and strategic customer engagements.
• A role with direct impact on pipeline growth, win rates, and long-term customer value.
