* Raise audience experience and production quality, bringing fresh ideas in format, flow creative and digital storytelling, and embedding sustainable event practices.
* Lead delivery from brief to post‑event evaluation, coordinating cross‑functional teams and agencies for larger productions.
* Manage partners, budgets, timelines and the events calendar; brief and steer external suppliers and production partners to deliver high‑quality results within budget.
* Deliver complex events across live, hybrid and virtual formats (including livestreams/webcasts): attendee journeys, speaker support, venues, suppliers, contracts and on‑site/show calling.
* Keep stakeholders aligned through crisp project communication and documentation across internal teams, clients and vendors.
* Report on event status and outcomes; capture learnings and continuously improve formats, processes and audience feedback loops.
* Manage the event technology and tools used to deliver our events (e.g., Cvent and our Global ME database) and work with colleagues and vendors on registration, event apps, streaming and production workflows.
What You Bring
* 7+ years’ experience delivering corporate events, with confidence across live, hybrid and digital formats, large and small.
* Strong program/project management skills, including budgeting, vendor management and stakeholder steering; agile ways of working.
* Hands‑on expertise with event technologies, especially Cvent and enterprise event databases; quick to learn new tools.
* Proven track record delivering complex virtual and hybrid events, with an eye for audience experience and production quality.
* A practical understanding of sustainable event management.
* Comfortable partnering with senior executives and diverse stakeholders in an international environment.
* Excellent communication skills in English (and German), able to brief, advise and present clearly (including speakers, senior stakeholders and production partners).
* A strong network of event, AV/broadcast and multimedia production partners and suppliers, bringing best practice experience for state‑of‑the‑art creative productions.
