Events Manager

Role Summary

We’re looking for an Events Manager to join our Marketing team and lead WIT’s growing events program across industry conferences, exhibitions, proprietary & online events.

This is an end-to-end role for someone who can identify the right opportunities, build the events roadmap and execute exceptional experiences from initial planning through to post-event follow-up. You’ll own the details, but always with the bigger commercial picture in mind: how each event can build awareness, create meaningful connections and generate pipeline.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong event management experience with commercial instinct. You’ll work closely with sales to identify priority audiences and opportunities, maximize our presence before and during events, and ensure leads and relationships are effectively followed up afterwards.

Above all, we’re looking for someone highly organized, proactive and resourceful who can take complete ownership of a busy events calendar and make things happen.
