Event Manager - B2B Events

About the role

Cosylab works in niche, highly technical B2B markets such as accelerators, fusion, quantum, radiation oncology and semiconductors, where every relationship matters. As Event Manager you will own the company's event presence end to end, from proposing where to show up to reporting on what each event delivered.

• Plan and run Cosylab-hosted and co-hosted events, including customer and partner gatherings, round tables and webinars.
• Lead each event from preparation and partners to on-site delivery, negotiate with venues, organisers and suppliers, and create side meetings, customer sessions and follow-ups.
• Develop a consistent brand experience across events and domains.
• Connect events to the sales pipeline with business development and sales, track relationships built, opportunities opened and visibility gained, and bring market and competitor insights back to domain teams.

Required profile

• At least 5 years of experience in event management, including international conferences and trade shows.
• Experience owning an event plan and budget; experience in a complex B2B environment, ideally technical or scientific.
• Strategic, business-oriented mindset with a hands-on approach, and understanding of event KPIs linked to CRM and sales targets.

• Willingness to travel regularly, including internationally.
