Events Manager

The Role

At TravelPerk, we are cultivating an organizational culture and employee experience centered around genuine connection and a sense of belonging. Why? Because in order to do great work, we believe that it’s crucial that our people feel connected to our mission and to each other, ultimately leading to an environment where people feel empowered to share, unlocking different perspectives that create innovative solutions to complex problems.

We have always given our culture critical importance. It’s through our shared mission and values that we create a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose between our employees. That’s exactly what our Community team is in charge of: to bring TravelPerkers together over our Mission and our Culture. Your objective as our Event Manager will be to get our teams together in a meaningful and impactful way. 

You will be managing the team who owns anything that has to do with company and team events: budget, process, planning, communications, execution, tracking data, feedback, and more! An event for us is anything that gets our teams together: from a team lunch to a 2-day-long company offsite or a meeting between our colleagues in the London hub. Organizing some of these will just require you to set up an easy process so that teams can book on their own, while some other events will require a very active involvement in planning and executing.

We’re looking for an Events Manager who has a strong experience and skills to manage the current challenges, but who is also looking to grow, experiment and challenge our approach towards getting together.

What will you be doing?

• End-to-end planning, organization, and execution of various employees events, including team-building activities and company-wide meetings.
• Support the development, brainstorming, design, event creation, and communications for all-employee gatherings.
• Develop and refine event processes and strategies to ensure seamless execution and continuous improvement as we scale event numbers.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and external vendors to meet event objectives and ensure a high level of satisfaction among participants.
• Manage budgets and timelines to ensure cost-effective and timely delivery of impactful events.
• Assist in scaling our internal events globally by developing and documenting replicable event strategies, processes and playbooks.
• Develop event success tracking through participant feedback and other relevant metrics, making data-driven recommendations for future improvements

What you will need to succeed?

• A track record of organizing large-scale events, with a preference for those with experience in corporate or marketing events with over 400 attendees.
• Proven team management skills.
• Exceptional command of English, with fluency in Spanish as a valuable addition.
• A genuine interest in fostering organizational culture.
• Outstanding organizational and planning abilities.
• A data-driven approach to evaluating event success and informing strategic development.
• Self-motivation, with a high level of reliability and ownership over your work.
• The capacity to navigate ambiguity and solve problems proactively.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to convey ideas clearly to a wide range of stakeholders.

What skills are we looking for?

• Team player: We need top class collaborators.
• Humble: You’re ok with the spotlight, but you don’t crave it. You know what you don’t know and you’re willing to learn.
• Extreme Ownership + Getting things done attitude: Proactive approach and able to work under pressure. Look for problems to solve before they become problems. But when they become problems, stay cool and solve them quickly.
• Extremely hands-on: you don't mind solving small problems or big problems. From high-level planning to detailed execution.
• Project Management skills:
  • Define, plan and oversee projects so that they are delivered faster than anyone would think possible
  • Constantly update the relevant people
  • Get your hands dirty and build
  • Lead and rally people to Community initiatives
  • You feel comfortable constantly being challenged, learning fast, making things happen, and moving from one project to the next one.

On top of that, you will be the right candidate if you…

• Have fun doing what you do!
• Continuous improvement is part of your DNA. The bar is high, but you always aim to set it higher. You keep ahead of news and updates to keep yourself informed and the company to the highest standards. 
• You seek feedback early and often and are open to constructive and direct criticism
• You must possess a genuine hunger to navigate your role in a fast-changing, hyper-growth environment
• Ready to roll-up your sleeves and work hard.
