Events Manager (Europe)

 

Constructor Tech is seeking a highly strategic Senior Events Manager to transform our global event presence into a measurable engine for pipeline growth, brand elevation, and executive-level engagement.

This is a high-visibility role that requires operational excellence, exceptional communication skills, creative judgment, and the ability to work independently and calmly under pressure.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building exceptional experiences, and know how to convert events into measurable commercial impact, this role is for you.

• Produce event performance reports within 48–72 hours, including KPIs, pipeline influence, SQL generation, learnings, and recommendations.
• Continuously test and optimize new event formats to enhance attendee engagement, brand visibility, and conversion outcomes.

Operational Excellence

• Maintain complete operational ownership: vendor management, A/V, booth shipping, travel coordination, merchandise production, catering, and run-of-show.
• Handle issues calmly, proactively, and independently—ensuring flawless execution even under pressure.
• Travel frequently across regions, including occasional weekends, to support key events.
