Are you a dynamic Event Manager who thrives on delivering high-impact, strategically aligned experiences across international markets? We’re partnering with a global leader in investment and asset management to find an exceptional events professional ready to take ownership of complex, high-visibility programmes across EMEA.

This organisation is one of the most influential names in global finance, managing trillions in assets and operating across 30+ countries. With a reputation for excellence, innovation and global reach, they deliver world-class experiences that reflect their brand, scale and ambition.

The Role

As Event Manager, you’ll lead and execute a portfolio of mid-to-high complexity events across EMEA — from strategic planning and creative development through to on-site delivery and post-event analysis.

This is a hands-on, end-to-end role where you’ll combine strategic thinking with flawless execution.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading the planning and execution of regional events, ensuring alignment with commercial and brand priorities
• Developing comprehensive Event Briefs in partnership with senior business stakeholders
• Overseeing content, creative direction, experiential activations and audience engagement strategies
• Managing cross-functional working groups (Creative, Multimedia, Digital, Content, Facilities and more)
• Handling registration, communications, venue management and supplier coordination
• Owning budget management and ensuring commercial discipline
• Delivering thorough event debriefs, analysing brand impact and reputational outcomes
• Supporting pre-event amplification and post-event follow-up campaigns
• Travelling across the region (~30%) to support in-person activations

What We’re Looking For

• A number of years experience in Event Marketing, Brand, or Experiential Activations
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder projects across time zones
• A strategic thinker who can zoom out to see the bigger picture — and zoom in to execute with precision
• Confident communicator with strong executive presence
• Proactive, solutions-driven and highly organised
• Experience influencing cross-functional teams at all levels
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, global environments
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (including OneDrive) and event tech platforms such as Cvent and Coupa
