Senior Event Marketing Manager

The opportunity

Awardco is looking for a Senior Event Marketing Manager to lead the planning and execution of a broad event portfolio, with particular emphasis on the RCGNZ Summit and major tradeshows.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced event marketer who can move easily between strategy and execution: defining event goals, shaping attendee experiences, managing budgets and vendors, coordinating cross-functional teams, leading onsite delivery, and measuring business impact.

You will partner with Marketing, Sales, Client Success, the Center of Excellence, Product, Content, Creative, Finance, and executive stakeholders. You will lead projects and external partners without formal people-management responsibility.

What you’ll do

Lead event strategy and planning

• Translate business priorities into event objectives, audience strategies, experience concepts, success metrics, and execution plans.
• Own assigned events from initial brief and venue or sponsorship evaluation through onsite execution, follow-up, and post-event reporting.
• Build clear project plans, timelines, ownership models, budgets, risk plans, and run-of-show documents.
• Partner with the Senior Director of Experiential Marketing to prioritize the event calendar a
