A Career at HARMAN

As a technology leader that is rapidly on the move, HARMAN is filled with people who are focused on making life better. Innovation, inclusivity and teamwork are a part of our DNA. When you add that to the challenges we take on and solve together, you’ll discover that at HARMAN you can grow, make a difference and be proud of the work you do every day.

• You will own the end-to-end event marketing engine for JBL and Harman Kardon in China, translating brand strategy into high-impact live experiences across both consumer-facing and trade-facing moments. This role sits at the intersection of brand storytelling and commercial activation: you orchestrate NPI launches, roadshows, trade shows, and brand events that build consumer desire, while also delivering the internal and channel events—dealer meetings, distributor conferences, and annual meetings—that align and energize our go-to-market organization.
• You will work as a strategic partner to Sales, Trade Marketing, E-commerce, Retail, and Product teams, ensuring every event is designed with the shopper journey in mind—creating a clear path to purchase across offline retail, e-commerce, and emerging channels, with measurable business impact.

What You Will Do

NPI Launch & Brand Events

• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of new product introduction (NPI) launch events for JBL and Harman Kardon in China—from concept, venue, and run-of-show to media/KOL experience and post-launch amplification.
• Conceptualize and execute consumer brand events (pop-ups, music/lifestyle moments, festival and cultural activations) that elevate JBL and H/K from product brands to lifestyle symbols.
• Ensure every launch and brand event connects to shoppable moments across Tmall, JD.com, Douyin, and offline retail touchpoints.

Roadshows & Trade Shows

• Build and manage the national roadshow calendar, scaling successful formats across tier-1 to tier-3 cities with consistent brand quality.
• Own HARMAN's presence at trade shows and industry exhibitions (consumer electronics, audio, and lifestyle expos), covering booth design, experiential programming, lead capture, and partner engagement.

Internal & Channel Events

• Plan and deliver dealer meetings, distributor conferences, and retail partner events that communicate product priorities, sell-in stories, and channel programs.
• Support internal corporate moments—annual meetings, sales kick-offs, and leadership town halls—working closely with Sales leadership and HR/Comms.

Agency & Vendor Management

• Brief, select, and manage creative, event production, and experiential agencies; build a high-performing agency roster with clear scopes, SLAs, and evaluation frameworks.
• Own event budgets, contracts, timelines, and on-site quality control; negotiate for maximum value while protecting brand standards and safety/compliance requirements.

What You Need to Be Successful

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the central coordination hub across Sales, E-commerce, Retail, Product, PR, and Finance to align event narratives with commercial priorities.
• Interface with Global and APAC brand teams to localize global campaigns (e.g., Made to Be Heard) and report China market learnings upward.
• Maintain strong external relationships with venues, production vendors, media, and industry partners; represent the brands professionally in all settings.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Define and track event KPIs (attendance quality, media/KOL reach, engagement, lead generation, sell-through impact, event ROI).
• Run post-event reviews and build event playbooks to institutionalize best practices; share learnings with the APAC marketing community.

What Makes You Eligible

• Willingness to travel.

• Willingness to work in an office.

• Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation.

What We Offer
