Events Marketing Manager

We're looking for an Events Marketer to own and execute on event strategy across the regions. Your primary responsibility is to design exceptional event experiences that deliver measurable pipeline contribution and contact acquisition. We want our prospects, customers, and partners to get a true Fonoa experience at each and every event.

We are looking for a hard-working and detail-oriented marketer who loves to work on events and enjoys partnering with different functions across the business. You will need to build strong relationships with partners, vendors, production companies, Fonoa’s sales team, as well as coordinating speakers with Fonoa’s CSM’s and other key stakeholders during the event lifecycle.  As a hands-on contributor, you’ll add significant value to the sales funnel and have the opportunity to bring our culture to life through events.

This position will require significant travel (UK, Europe and US).

What You Will Do

• Innovation. You will suggest and execute innovative ideas for engaging our prospects, partners, and customers, whether it’s a focused cocktail masterclass or a large-scale trade show. You’ll do online and offline research to come up with ideas for fantastic events as well as events we should partner or sponsor. 
• Coordinating logistics. Each of our events has many moving parts, so strong project management skills and organization are a must. You will help source the required equipment, coordinate Fonoa swag or content, and handle any related shipping.
• Spinning several plates at once. You will need to cover a wide range of event types, including (but not limited to) Small, intimate ABM-style events, large industry trade shows, Fonoa-owned, customer-focused events like Customer Advisory Boards, and partner events. Each of these events run frequently throughout each quarter and each will require different levels of planning, skill and time allocated. 
• Planning. You will be cognisant of the event budget during the entire process and reconcile all contracts and invoices in a timely manner. You will work closely with our finance and legal teams to ensure Fonoa only enters into contracts that are signed off. You will be responsible for helping ensure our events run smoothly and be able to handle situations as they arise professionally and bring them to the attention of the manager or Fonoa team (when applicable).
• Promotion. Every event needs promotion. You’ll work closely with the Demand Marketing Lead and Senior Email Marketing Manager to come up with campaign ideas, promotional plans, schedules, email copy, and design aesthetics. You’ll also get creative and think of fun social media campaigns to promote events, as well as a social plan during the event. 
• Reporting and follow-up. You’ll provide feedback and results on events, set up email nurture campaigns with the Senior Email Marketing Manager, and coordinate follow-up with the sales teams.
• Managing webinar platforms. We host and attend multiple events across different time zones. You will be responsible for the planning and execution of online events and be proficient in the use of webinars, both live and pre-recorded. 
• You’ll hit your own KPIs and targets. You’ll be target-focused and have great experience in measuring event performance—and you’ll use data to help make recommendations about what events we should do in the future. 

You would be a great fit if

• 5+ years of experience working in B2B events
• 3+ years experience in marketing, communications, or social media
• Passionate about events, high-quality work, and attention to detail
• Extremely organized and the ability to multitask are essential in this role
