About B2B IQ
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 Do
- 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 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 Monday.com experience a plus. Ability to run events you won't attend — clear briefs, run-of-show documents, and supplier instructions that hold 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.
