Event Manager

The opportunity

At TechnologyAdvice, talented, driven, and dedicated team members are at the core of our company’s success. We spend a great deal of time and energy to ensure we have the best people in the industry and that we foster an environment that they want to be a part of. We’re looking for someone just as passionate to help us expand our company further and work collaboratively with the Product team. Our ideal candidate will share the tenacity and excitement we have for all things TechnologyAdvice.

The Global Events Team at TechnologyAdvice manages a fast-growing product line of virtual and in-person client events; check out our examples of current work.  The Event Manager is responsible for end-to-end planning and event execution for both virtual and in-person events across EMEA. This is a client-facing role. This role requires experience in both virtual and in-person events, with virtual events serving as the initial focus; we anticipate this role will require travel of between 15-30% by H2 2026 to support in-person events as we scale. This role will also support virtual event needs globally as required, including conducting client meetings in different time zones. Delivering best-in-class client and attendee experiences are of the utmost importance. Attention to detail and adherence to deadlines are crucial for success. This role interfaces with high-level executives at global technology companies on a daily basis and as such, top-tier written and verbal communication skills are a requirement. Agency experience is a plus.

The incumbent will be located in the greater London, UK area with the ability to manage in-person events in central London on a regular basis. While currently an individual contributor, this role may assume people-management duties in the future based on business needs.
