About the role
Hi, my name is Rosie, Events Team Manager here at Customer.io, and I am looking for an Events Marketing Manager to own our in-person events across EMEA. You'll lead live field events, hosted customer and prospect experiences, and sponsored conferences across the region, and run our monthly EMEA webinar. You'll partner closely with Demand Gen, Content, Design, Partnerships, and EMEA Sales to create events that feel polished, thoughtful, and unmistakably "us" - tailored to EMEA markets rather than a copy-paste of NA programming. You'll ramp alongside our Events Manager, who currently supports the region, and take full ownership of EMEA within your first 90 days.
This role includes 15%+ travel for EMEA field events, conferences, and onsite support.
What we value
Human-centered experiences. You create events that feel thoughtful, relevant, and genuinely useful - built for EMEA audiences.
Collaborative energy. You work smoothly across teams and time zones, and make alignment feel easy.
Insight-driven decisions. You let data guide you while keeping the attendee experience at the center.
Action with intention. You move quickly, adapt gracefully, and learn from every event.
Operational clarity. You bring structure, calm, and consistency to fast-moving, cross-market work.
What you’ll do
Event planning & coordination
Own and manage the EMEA in-person events calendar - field events, hosted experiences, sponsored conferences, and activations across the region
Partner with the Events Team and Demand Gen to define goals, audiences, formats, and success metrics specific to EMEA markets
Evaluate EMEA sponsorships, speaking slots, and event formats against goals
Work closely with cross-functional partners to ensure every event feels cohesive with global campaigns while staying relevant to EMEA audiences
Execution & project management
Manage day-to-day logistics: vendor coordination, timelines, run-of-show, speaker prep, and on-the-ground support for EMEA events
Partner with Content, Brand, Product Marketing, and Sales to develop compelling event assets and presentations
Oversee registration flows, pre-event communication, and the attendee experience from first touch to follow-up
Step in wherever needed to keep events running smoothly, calmly, and on-brand
EMEA webinars (about one per month)
Run our monthly EMEA webinar end to end - topic and speaker selection, registration, promotion, and follow-up - timed and localized for a European audience
Partner with Content and Product Marketing to adapt or build webinar content that lands with EMEA audiences
Build and optimize registration pages, forms, and workflows for EMEA campaigns
Audience growth & promotion
Execute multi-channel promotional plans across email, social, and partner channels for EMEA audiences
Collaborate with Demand Gen, Marketing Ops & Sales to ensure EMEA lead capture, routing, and follow-up happen correctly and quickly
Manage attendee communication throughout the event lifecycle
Performance & optimization
Track EMEA event performance - pipeline, revenue, deal acceleration, and event engagement
Share insights and recommendations to continually improve ROI and attendee experience across the region
Maintain documentation, templates, and repeatable workflows that make running EMEA events smoother and more scalable
Partner with ops to ensure clean attribution and accurate reporting across systems
What success looks like
Regional ownership: EMEA events and webinars run smoothly, predictably, and feel built for the region
Engagement growth: Attendance and engagement steadily increase across EMEA field events and webinars
Sales alignment: EMEA Sales and Marketing feel tightly connected and supported by event-driven pipeline
Sharper insights: You surface insights that help the program get sharper, smarter, and more efficient over time
Better playbooks: EMEA-specific playbooks, templates, and processes get better and help the team move faster
What we're looking for
You're a hands-on, highly organized marketer who loves building great experiences and understands how events translate into revenue. You're comfortable owning a region end to end - you stay grounded under pressure, thrive in a distributed environment, and enjoy the cross-market collaboration required to make EMEA events exceptional.
Based in the UK or Ireland (London or Dublin ideal)
4+ years in event marketing within B2B SaaS
Experience running in-person events across formats (field events, hosted experiences, conferences), ideally across multiple EMEA markets
Experience running webinars, and real excitement about doing both: a busy in-person calendar plus about one webinar a month
Strong project management skills - you juggle timelines, tasks, and teams (and time zones) with ease
Experience collaborating with Sales and supporting event-driven follow-up
Comfortable with marketing automation tools (Customer.io, Marketo, etc.) and Salesforce
Familiarity with webinar platforms (Livestorm, Zoom, Sequel) and event management tools
Understanding of lead capture, UTMs, and event pipeline attribution
Ability to partner with Rev/Marketing Ops to troubleshoot data flows and ensure clean reporting
Comfortable with 15%+ travel
