  • Budget Management: Oversee the global ES&O events budget, ensuring fiscal responsibility while driving impact.
  • Global Alignment: Coordinate across global Marcomms functions and ensure alignment with product launches and brand visibility goals.
  • Adaptability & Efficiency: Thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, managing multiple priorities and adapting to shifting schedules.

To be successful in this role, we expect you to have:

  • Bachelor's degree (BA/BS) or equivalent, advanced degree (MA/MS/MBA) a plus.
  • Minimum of 2 years of experience leading event development and execution—from webinars to tradeshows and executive presentations, Renewables marketing experience preferred, but not required.
  • Understanding of event marketing best practices and trends and can advise on the best fit.
  • Experience with Salesforce and Pardot (or similar tools), additional automation tools a plus.
  • Proven track record of managing vendor relationships and building successful partnerships.
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to juggle multiple stakeholder priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills across diverse contexts and formats.
  • A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset with a desire for learning. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are ready to be hands-on and decisive.

(In this role, some travel is required to support events around the world. Thus, we hope you to be ready to travel up to 40%, even though most of your day-to-day work will be done virtually.)
