We’re looking for a Senior Event Manager who can turn a room full of CIOs into a community – and a conference into a commercial engine.

Our customers entire event engine – from strategy to execution. You won’t just plan events: you’ll build the playbook that turns offline experiences into measurable pipeline and positions our customer as the brand supply chain leaders want to be associated with.

  • Our customers annual events and experiences strategy across owned events (Data Summit, executive roundtables, customer meetups), external conferences (trade fairs, partner events, industry summits), and digital activations (webinars, virtual roundtables)
  • The flagship event for 1,000+ supply chain, IT, and data leaders, from venue selection and speaker program to attendee experience and commercial activation
  • Regional satellite events across DACH, Benelux, Nordics, UK, and France that feed into and extend the flagship moment
  • The sales activation layer around every event: pre-event outreach, on-site meeting orchestration, post-event follow-up sequences, and pipeline attribution
  • The event ROI framework – tracking leads generated, meetings booked, influenced pipeline, and cost per opportunity across all formats
  • The offline-to-digital bridge – extending event impact through content repurposing, live social amplification, on-demand libraries, and digital community engagement
  • End-to-end event delivery including budgeting, vendor management, creative direction, and on-site execution
  • Community & partnership development – building relationships with industry associations, tech alliances, and local networks to extend our customers event footprint

Requirements:

  • 7+ years in B2B event management, including 3+ years in a senior or lead role owning large-scale events (500+ attendees)
  • A track record of building events that drive measurable pipeline and revenue – not just attendance numbers
  • Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, supply chain, logistics, or manufacturing tech
  • Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder events across multiple European markets
  • Strong commercial instinct – you think in leads, pipeline, and customer lifetime value, not just event satisfaction scores
  • Excellent project management skills: you can run a €500K+ event budget, manage 10+ vendors, and keep 20 stakeholders aligned
  • Fluency in English and German
  • Willingness to travel up to 50% across Europe – you’ll need to be where the events are

What sets you apart:

  • You’ve built a flagship event from scratch (or scaled one from 200 to 1,000+ attendees) and can talk about exactly how you did it
  • You understand the intersection of events and demand generation – you’ve designed post-event conversion sequences that turned attendees into pipeline
  • You’re comfortable with CRM and marketing automation tools (HubSpot preferred) to track attribution and optimize event ROI
  • You have a point of view on merging offline experiences with digital engagement – and examples to prove it
  • You’ve worked in a high-growth environment and know what it means to operate with urgency and accountability
  • You’re a compelling storyteller who can brief a keynote speaker, curate a panel, and write event copy that makes people actually want to show up
