Event Manager

About the job

We are looking to hire an experienced, hands-on Event Manager who has independently managed corporate events end to end. This role requires complete ownership of planning, execution, and closure, with a strong focus on detail, discipline, and on-ground excellence. This is a concise JD by intent. We are not listing everything under the sun, only what truly matters. This is a to-the-point JD by design. No jargon. No padding. What you’ll own (end to end): • Complete event planning and execution—from brief to post-event closure • Vendor sourcing, negotiation, costing, contracts, and on-ground coordination • Budgeting, cost control, and P&L discipline • Gifting strategy, sourcing, packaging, and distribution • Registration management (pre-event, on-ground, tech coordination) • Show-running, rehearsals, cue sheets, stage & speaker management • Hotel coordination: rooming lists, check-ins, hospitality desks, VIP handling • On-ground team management and real-time problem solving What we’re looking for: • Proven experience managing high-quality corporate / leadership / partner events • Strong command over vendors, timelines, budgets, and people • Calm under pressure; obsessive about details • Someone who can anticipate issues before they happen • Comfortable being the single point of accountability on event days What this role is not: • Not a conceptual-only or agency coordination role • Not for someone who has only handled one part of the events • Not for someone who avoids on-ground execution
