About B2B IQ
A high number of candidates may make applications for this position, so make sure to send your CV and application through as soon as possible.
B2B IQ builds custom B2B audience programs — combining first-party and third-party data, data science, and multivariate segmentation with in-house activation across channels to drive growth for our clients. Our events presence is one way we put that story in front of the market, from trade shows and analyst conferences to intimate customer dinners.
The Role
We're hiring a Global Events Manager to own full-cycle planning and coordination of our event program across four regions from a single central seat. This is a highly operational, remote role: you'll drive venue negotiations, booth builds, swag, lead capture, sponsorship deliverables, and logistics — directing in-market teams and suppliers who execute on the ground rather than travelling to events yourself.
You'll also help design the system that keeps our global event calendar visible, accountable, and on budget, working closely with marketing, sales, and operations, with executive sponsorship from our Co-CEO on major contracts.
What You'll DoEvent Management (Primary Focus)
- Lead full-cycle planning and execution of conferences and trade shows (primary focus), plus customer events, dinners, meetups, and partner activations as the program expands
Own centralized coordination of event delivery across the US, UK, Singapore, and Sydney
Conduct venue research, booking, and contract negotiation — including outreach and alignment with partners such as Forrester
Manage booth design, print materials, signage, case study decks, furniture rental, AV setup, and shipping logistics through our established supplier network, and brief in-market teams on onsite operations
Handle swag sourcing, ordering, fulfillment, and inventory management for events and general company use
Coordinate with in-market teams and regional leadership to support contract management (final negotiation led by the Co-CEO)
Coordinate lead capture technology (badge scanning, QR codes, scanners), RSVP and guest list management, and post-event follow-up
Oversee content planning across pre-, during-, and post-event moments (social, email, and other channels)
Manage sponsorship deliverables, budget tracking, internal team scheduling, and team travel and accommodation bookings, and provide remote support to the onsite team throughout show days
Deliver high-quality events on time and on budget while maximizing ROI and lead generation
Systems & Process
- Partner with our Operations team to design and run an events booking and management system inside the B2B IQ project management platform ( )
Build a global events plan view backed by detailed per-event plans, including RACIs, owners, and deadlines
Maintain post-event reporting on cost, pipeline contribution, and lead quality
What You'll Bring
- 4+ years managing B2B events end to end — trade shows and conferences in particular
Proven experience running events in more than one region remotely; international or multi-timezone coordination strongly preferred
Comfort negotiating with venues, vendors, and sponsorship partners, and managing budgets line by line
Strong operational discipline: you build checklists, RACIs, and timelines by instinct and hold remote owners to them
Working knowledge of lead capture and marketing systems (badge/scanner platforms, CRM/marketing automation); Salesforce and experience a plus
Ability to run events you won't attend — clear briefs, run-of-show documents, and supplier instructions that hold xwwtmva up without you in the room
Excellent written and verbal communication, and the judgment to work with senior stakeholders and clients
Availability for occasional early or late calls to cover UK and APAC time zones around key event weeks
Nice to Have
- Experience in martech, demand generation, or B2B agency environments
Familiarity with analyst-firm sponsorships (Forrester, Gartner, or similar)
Experience standing up event operations in a project management system from scratch
APAC or EMEA event experience
How We'll Measure Success
- Events delivered on time and within budget, with clean post-event reporting
Measurable lead volume and pipeline contribution from each event
Sponsorship deliverables fulfilled in full and on schedule
A live, trusted global events plan that leadership can see at any time
Why B2B IQ
- Own a global program end to end with real budget and real visibility — without living on the road
Direct line to executive leadership in a fast-growing company
Build the systems, not just run the calendar
