Founding Events Director

What We're Looking For We're looking for an Events & Community Lead to be Omnea's first marketing hire in North America. This is a rare opportunity to build a loyal following from scratch in a new market, using the funding, brand and momentum of one of Europe's fastest‑growing B2B SaaS companies. You’ll be embedded in our NYC office alongside an exceptional GTM and Customer team and Arie Barendrecht (US, GM) who is scaling Omnea's US presence at an incredible pace. This role sits at the intersection of marketing and sales: you’ll operate as an extension of the revenue team and will own a pipeline number. Events are the core of this role. You'll own Omnea's presence at trade shows, run executive dinners, build regional programmes and create high‑touch moments that open doors with enterprise buyers. You’ll also pick up broader growth marketing activities such as ABM or content marketing (e.g., videos from events). This isn’t a role for someone who wants to execute someone else’s playbook. It’s for someone who wants to write it and be accountable for what it delivers. It is for someone who gets energy from hosting incredible events, building meaningful connections, and taking pride in leaving a positive impression on people. What You Can Expect Own Omnea's field presence across North America, with events as your primary lever: trade shows, executive dinners, hosted roundtables, roadshows, and regional programmes targeting CFOs, procurement leaders, and finance operators. Plan and execute events end‑to‑end, with sharp pre‑/during/post motions that convert attendance into pipeline, not just brand awareness. Build the playbook for how Omnea shows up in the US market, from which events are worth sponsoring to how we run our own. Travel regularly to industry events across North America and make regular trips to our London HQ to stay tightly connected to the broader marketing and product teams. Support net‑new pipeline generation beyond events: running ABM programmes, coordinating with Commercial Associates, and picking up paid or digital activity where needed. Work closely with the NYC GTM team and US GM to align on territory priorities, account strategy, and pipeline goals, acting as a peer to GTM leadership, not a service function. Feed market intelligence back into the business, informing positioning, messaging, and product direction based on what you’re hearing in the field. Partner with our London‑based marketing team (content, product marketing, design, demand gen) to localise campaigns and assets for the US market. Measure everything: pipeline influenced, account engagement, event ROI, and conversion, and use that data to continuously optimise your approach. As Omnea's US presence scales, you’ll have the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own. About You 3+ years of field marketing experience OR any experience in planning events or projects alongside a fast‑paced and demanding role. Events are your craft. You’re a pro at planning & executing events or delivering delightful experiences, whether that’s in a formal work capacity (trade shows, exec dinners, annual summits) or in your personal life. You know how to turn a room into a pipeline‑creation opportunity and leave people wowed. Proven track record of delivering results, ideally in a pipeline generation capacity or any role where you can show you drove the results. You’ve worked with sales teams before and understand how they operate: maybe you’ve sat in pipeline reviews, understand how salespeople think. Comfortable as a generalist when needed: you can run a paid campaign, set up an ABM sequence, or brief a landing page without needing a specialist for every task. Entrepreneurial by nature: comfortable with ambiguity, energized by ownership, and able to build structure where none exists. Data‑driven: pipeline, ROI, account engagement, and conversion rates are how you measure success, not only attendance numbers and vibes. You have gravitas and can communicate with senior executives. You go the extra mile: you are willing & able to travel regularly (around the US and to our London HQ), and enjoy putting in a shift to deliver amazing outcomes. Legally authorised to work in the United States without restriction. A Few Things To Note We work Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays in‑person at our offices. At this early stage of our company life‑cycle it’s important to us that we get this together‑time; read more about why we believe this is a winning move. We’re commercial, ambitious and we don’t pretend otherwise! We’re actively seeking folks looking to make the most of a career‑defining opportunity, with the hunger to be part of building something really impressive.
