- Work with a sense of urgency and purpose: stand up agile planning, vendor management, run-of-show excellence, and standardized toolkits/playbooks for repeatable execution at scale.
- Leverage data for decisions: identify white space, audience concentration, and competitive presence; build a transparent dashboard for executive visibility and continual optimization.
- Drive cross-functional impact: partner with Sales, Product, Communications, and Wholesale Digital to connect event moments to storytelling, content, and commercial follow-through.
- Strategy & Execution: operationalize pre/during/post-event engagement-briefs, talk tracks, 1:1 meeting programming, lead capture, and post-event insights-to-action.
- Team leadership: coach a high-trust, inclusive team (anticipated ~3 direct reports) and manage agencies/vendors to high standards, clear SLAs, and budget discipline.
- Collaborate across the enterprise to ensure alignment with brand standards, compliance requirements, and risk frameworks while maintaining speed and creativity.
What you'll bring
- Demonstrated ownership of an events/sponsorships portfolio with end-to-end responsibility-from strategy and budgeting to execution and post-event optimization.
- Contracting and vendor management experience, including negotiating complex agreements and managing agencies.
- Proven ability to use data to prioritize and optimize a portfolio for industry visibility and business outcomes.
- Track record operating in dynamic, matrixed environments and collaborating across senior stakeholder groups.
- Ability to simplify, standardize, and scale without compromising quality.
