Events Lead
Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing international technology (AI) business . This is a high-profile position where you'll have complete ownership of the events function, working closely with senior leadership to shape and deliver a commercially focused events strategy.
This role sits at the heart of the business, bridging Marketing, Sales and Revenue. You'll be responsible for developing an engaging events programme that drives pipeline, strengthens customer relationships and supports ambitious growth plans across both the UK and global markets.

- Work collaboratively with Marketing and senior stakeholders to ensure events support wider business objectives
- Identify new opportunities to elevate the company's brand and customer engagement
About You
You'll be an experienced Events professional who enjoys working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. You'll be comfortable operating with autonomy, thinking commercially and building processes where they don't yet exist.
You'll ideally have:
- 5+ years' experience delivering events in the UK and globally
- Experience owning an events programme from strategy through to execution
- Strong commercial awareness with an understanding of pipeline generation and ROI
- Experience working closely with senior leadership and sales teams
- Excellent project management and organisational skills
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to take ownership

- Hybrid working (currently two days in the office)

- Learning & Development budget
- Home office allowance
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
- International travel opportunities
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing technology business where you'll have real influence, autonomy and the opportunity to build something from the ground up.
