The Role

As the Global Events Manager, you are the lead producer of Aiven’s physical and virtual brand experience. You don't just book booths; you architect high-impact environments that cut through the noise of the industry. You are a master of high-velocity project management, capable of juggling a diverse portfolio from large 3rd party conferences (AWS re:Invent, Kafka Summit) to intimate 1st party Aiven-hosted events (Customer Advisory Boards, User Roadshows, Annual Sales Kick-off). We are looking for a high-agency, creative powerhouse who will dive deep into Aiven’s value proposition and personas to ensure every event is perfectly aligned with our audience. You are a natural brand ambassador, as comfortable managing a construction vendor as you are welcoming a CTO to our lounge.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the planning and execution of Aiven’s global event portfolio, encompassing 3rd party industry trade shows and 1st party proprietary programs.
• Own the "Aiven Experience" for our internal and external 1st party events, including Customer Advisory Boards (CABs), Aiven’s User Conference, localized Community Roadshows and our Annual Employee Kick-off.
• Go beyond the logistics. You will study our core personas (Developers, Architects, CTOs) and our internal culture to ensure every event, from a technical user conference to an internal summit, is tailored to the specific audience.
• Develop out-of-the-box concepts that make Aiven the most talked-about brand on-site. You aren't afraid to take risks to ensure our physical presence reflects our status as a market leader.
• Lead end-to-end execution for multiple concurrent events globally. You are the source of truth for timelines, budgets, and deliverables, ensuring zero loss in quality under pressure.
• Act as a proactive host on the event floor. You will learn Aiven’s high-level value prop to comfortably engage prospects, qualify their interest, and facilitate seamless introductions to our technical and sales teams.
• Direct a network of global vendors and boutique agencies with high standards. You ensure every asset, from a sticker to a 40x40 booth, is Aiven Gold Standard.
• Partner with Revenue Marketing and Ops to ensure every event has clear, measurable goals. Set performance targets, own lead capture, and deliver impact reports that quantify ROI, pipeline influence, or customer expansion to guide future investment decisions.

Ideal Candidate:

• 6+ years in tech event management. Proven experience running both large-scale trade show presences and high-touch proprietary events (User Conferences/SKOs).
• Proven ability to track and report on funnel impact. You are comfortable analyzing ROI and making evidence based recommendations on where to invest the event budget.
• Obsessive attention to detail. You have a "one-inch-off-is-wrong" mentality, spotting small errors in seating charts or booth graphics before they become problems.
• You thrive in fast-paced environments and are a power user of project management tools and processes to keep multiple plates spinning.
• A track record of thinking laterally to solve problems and create unique, un-missable experiences.
• High agency and problem solving. On-site, you are the person who makes it happen, finding solutions to the impossible while maintaining a calm, professional demeanor.
• Demonstrated ability to quickly learn a technical product’s value proposition and speak confidently about it at a high level.
• Willingness to travel. Ready to be on the ground globally (30-40%) to lead from the front.
