Your role

We are seeking a strategic and delivery-focused Program Manager to lead a complex events programme. This role goes beyond event execution—you will be responsible for designing, managing, and evolving a portfolio of events as a cohesive programme that delivers against broader organisational goals. You will ensure that each event contributes measurable value, aligns with strategy, and integrates into a wider roadmap of outcomes.

This role is responsible for ensuring operational excellence, consistent brand experience, and programmatic quality across all events. The Manager oversees program development, speaker and partner coordination (when relevant), logistics, vendor partnerships, social media promotion, budgeting, and onsite execution while managing multiple timelines simultaneously.

You will partner closely with our commercial leadership to define, implement, and measure the success of our program, ensuring alignment with our commercial objectives and tracking return on investment.

There will be a limited amount of on-site event attendance required but this role is really focused on standing up scalable and repeatable processes and ways of working to ensure the events and conferences program runs smoothly and on budget whilst meeting business objectives.

Your responsibilities

Programme Strategy & Design

• Work with the Head of Events to define the overarching events programme strategy, ensuring alignment with organisational objectives

• Oversee end-to-end programme delivery, ensuring all events are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with strategic intent
• Manage interdependencies across events, teams, and stakeholders

Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary point of accountability for senior internal stakeholders
• Build strong relationships across internal teams (commerical, partnerships, operations etc.)
• Act as primary point of contact for third-party vendors and conference organisers

Performance & Impact Measurement

• Define KPIs and success frameworks for the programme (not just individual events)
• Track, analyse, and report on programme performance, ensuring continuous improvement
• Use data and insights to inform future programme direction and investment decisions

Financial & Resource Management

• Own the programme budget, ensuring effective allocation of resources across the event portfolio
• Balance short-term delivery needs with long-term programme sustainability
• Identify efficiencies and cost-saving opportunities without compromising impact

Leadership & Collaboration

• Provide leadership and direction to event managers and cross-functional teams
• Foster a programme mindset—shifting focus from isolated events to integrated outcomes
• Champion best practices in programme management across the organisation

Your profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Program Management, Event Management, Business, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 5–8 years of experience managing a multi-faceted conferences and events program
• Proven ability to manage events ranging from small private gatherings to multi-day conferences
• Strong project management and prioritization skills
• Experience managing budgets and negotiating vendor contracts
• Exceptional organizational and communication skills
• Ability to travel and work evenings/weekends as needed
