Events Marketing Manager

Events Marketing Manager

The Global Marketing team at Cerba Research is looking for an Events Marketing Manager to own our conference and events programme end to end – from exhibitor portals and booth builds to shipping, vendors and on-site teams, mostly managed remotely across a largely US-based calendar. It's an execution-first role with a clear runway into marketing and event strategy.

Own the Calendar – 15–17 major booth conferences a year, plus presentation and attendance-only events. The shows are yours.

Build It Your Way – No legacy process. Put your stamp on logistics and vendors.

A Role With Runway – Grow into planning the annual events strategy and budget with leadership.

Scale & Science – 40+ years of clinical research heritage. No science background needed.

Project manage each event end to end – bookings, exhibitor portals, deadlines, booth specification (shell scheme and modular), freight, shipping and on-site requirements.

Coordinate on-site teams remotely, solving problems in real time across time zones.

Own vendor relationships – stand builders, logistics and fulfilment partners, promotional and literature suppliers and agencies – holding them to agreed standards and costs.

Improve how event materials are stored, picked, packed and shipped, including customs and commodity code requirements.

Plan and deliver user group meetings, symposia and customer events.

Manage event budgets, tracking spend against plan.

Work with marketing colleagues on booth messaging, collateral and event campaigns.

Track and report event outcomes, and over time help shape the annual events plan and budget.

You're an events project manager who could run a conference with your eyes shut. You're organised to your fingertips, you do things in the right order, and you don't panic when the booth hasn't arrived. Science is a bonus, not a must – it's the events experience that counts.

• Hands-on experience delivering conferences and exhibitions (shell scheme and/or modular), user group meetings or symposia – from any sector
• Excellent project management skills, with a track record of running multiple events in parallel
• Experience managing events remotely and resolving issues from a distance
• Confident managing vendors and budgets, and happy to challenge a supplier who isn't delivering
• Resilient and adaptable in a fast-moving business where priorities can change
• Experience in life sciences, CRO, diagnostics or services is a plus – as is running a large symposium or customer event
• Keen to grow your marketing skill set alongside your events expertise
• Fluent in English

Travel: Limited – events are primarily managed remotely. Travel is expected to increase as the programme grows.
