About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Lead event marketing strategy and execution — audience targeting, multi-channel campaigns (email, social, partnerships, content), registration drives, and post-event follow-up.
Serve as the single point of contact for Ahrefs Evolve confirmed speakers — from the moment a booking is made by the influencer team through to post-event follow-up. Speakers should never need to wonder who to contact: you own the relationship, the briefing, and the experience. You'll relay logistics requirements to the Event Operations Manager so speakers deal with one person throughout.
Own creative direction for Evolve, our global annual conference — including fabrication, booth design, and overall brand experience, briefing and working closely with designers across Europe and Asia.
Manage sponsorship booth design and creative for European field events and regional activations.
Lead swag creative direction: concept, design standards, and brand alignment — coordinating with the Event Operations Manager, who owns vendor management and fulfillment.
Collaborate with the Global Head of Events and Global Partnerships & Revenue Manager on Evolve strategy and sponsorship activation planning.
Manage timelines and creative vendor relationships across multiple concurrent projects.
Build and maintain relationships with regional communities, partners, and event venues across Europe.
Provide cross-regional creative support for select events in Singapore and the US, ensuring consistency across all markets.
Track and report on event performance — attendance, engagement, brand impact, and ROI.

Requirements

What you’ll need

You've run B2B field marketing programs or event portfolios with both large-scale and grassroots activations.
You're a strong event marketer with solid creative instincts — you understand audience segmentation, campaign mechanics, and how to build an experience that drives registration and engagement.
You've managed fabrication, booth design, or brand experience at events — you know how to brief designers, hold vendors to a standard, and translate a brand into a physical space.
You understand where your ownership ends and your operational partner's begins — you hand off a complete, approved brief and trust execution to follow.
You're highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without dropping quality.
You're comfortable working autonomously in a remote, distributed team — you make decisions confidently within your remit and escalate when budget, scope, or brand is affected.
You have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
You're based in the UK or Europe and comfortable with occasional travel across the region, and to the US & Singapore.
