The director is responsible for planning, governing, resourcing and measuring the portfolio, and for turning the event strategy into a predictable operating model across regions and event types.

The director also oversees the budget, multi-currency forecasting and vendor negotiations, manages the events technology roadmap and its links to CRM and marketing automation systems, and reports portfolio metrics such as budget adherence, satisfaction among attendees, pipeline contribution and event return on investment. The role leads a worldwide group of event program managers and works closely with Marketing, Sales, Product, Finance and Legal.

Applicants also need experience building a program management office or governance model, plus five years of managing budgets in the millions, forecasting across currencies, negotiating contracts and partnering with vendors. A bachelor's degree is preferred, along with experience in technology or high-growth organizations. No salary is stated.
