The role:

The European Marketing Events Specialist supports L.E.K.'s go‐to‐market priorities in Europe by delivering full‐service, end‐to‐end execution of external events and conference sponsorships. The role owns the complete event lifecycle: planning and delivery, commercial and vendor management, and the full marketing and follow‐up engine around each event (pre‐event promotion, outreach, registration management, post‐event follow‐up, and performance reporting). The role focuses on sector and service line events (in‐person and virtual), working closely with Partners, Business Development, Knowledge teams and global marketing colleagues to drive senior‐level engagement, strengthen relationships, and generate measurable commercial outcomes.

This is an execution‐led role at Specialist level: work is delivered with strong organisation, low iteration required, and effective coordination across stakeholders, with clear direction from senior colleagues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Events planning and calendar management: Build and maintain the Europe events calendar across priority sectors, service lines, and offices, aligned to regional commercial priorities and Partner go‐to‐market plans.
• Event delivery and sponsorship execution: Execute European proprietary events such as executive roundtables, breakfasts, receptions, and content‐rich client events, including venue research, contracting, vendor coordination, run‐of‐show, and on‐site delivery.
• Event marketing and outreach: Own and execute the full marketing plan for each event, working with the European marketing team and relevant global colleagues to deliver consistent, high‐quality promotion and follow‐up.
• Stakeholder and partner engagement: Partner with internal stakeholders across Europe to clarify objectives, audiences, roles, and success measures for each event.
• Data, reporting, and continuous improvement: Track, analyse, and report event performance metrics end to end and produce clear post‐event reporting with insights and recommended improvements.
• Budget and operational management: Support budget tracking for events and sponsorships, including supplier quotes, purchase requests, accruals, and reconciliation, in line with internal policies.

Qualifications And Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree (marketing, communications, business, hospitality, or related field preferred).
• Typically 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in events and event marketing, ideally in B2B or professional services.
• Demonstrated ability to own the full event lifecycle, including event marketing, outreach, registration journeys, and post‐event follow‐up and reporting.
• Proven ability to engage directly and credibly with senior clients and senior external stakeholders.
• Strong project management skills with demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams at once with strong attention to detail and deadline discipline.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable coordinating with senior internal stakeholders and external vendors.
• Working knowledge of Salesforce (or similar CRM experience, with willingness to use Salesforce as the primary system).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint and Excel).
• Willingness to travel occasionally for European event delivery.

What Success Looks Like In The First 12 Months:

• A clearly managed European events calendar that supports priority sector and service line plans, with reliable end‐to‐end execution and strong stakeholder confidence.
• Consistently high‐quality delivery across a steady cadence of events (in‐person and virtual) with strong pre‐event promotion, high‐quality attendee communications, disciplined follow‐up, and measurable reporting.
• Strong operating rhythm: standard templates, repeatable processes, accurate budgets, and low‐iteration delivery with continuous improvement based on outcomes.
