Qualifications and skills:

• Experience: Proven track record of successful event planning and execution across a range of formats, including large Summits, Trade Shows, Roadshows, and exclusive executive events. Experience within the manufacturing industry is a plus.
• Persona Understanding: Deep knowledge of key personas, such as c-suite executives, VPs of manufacturing, and plant managers, and the ability to create events that speak directly to their needs and challenges.
• Collaboration: A team player who thrives in collaborative environments, with the ability to work closely with international colleagues to deliver consistent, high-quality events.
• Adaptability & Drive: Self-motivated and adaptable to a fast-paced, dynamic environment, capable of managing multiple projects with precision.
