About the Role

The Senior Events Marketing Specialist is a senior individual contributor within the Events Marketing team, responsible for the end-to-end planning and delivery of a delegated portfolio of events within the PSI global B2B events program — a portfolio spanning seven business programs, approximately 160 annual events, and seven strategic Tier 1 events across the professional certification market, state licensure, and federal assessment programs, alongside owned assessment brands.

Reporting to the Events Marketing Manager, the Senior Events Marketing Specialist independently owns assigned events from planning through delivery and post-event reporting — including exhibitions, conferences, roadshows, client events, and networking receptions — and provides senior support on Tier 1 events, including platinum sponsorships, large-format exhibition booths, speaker programs, and executive hospitality. The role manages supplier relationships, logistics, and event budgets for its portfolio, coordinates cross-functional colleagues during live events, and acts as a senior point of expertise and quality within the team, supporting the onboarding and development of junior team members without direct line management responsibility.

This role is a full-time permanent position, flexible from Monday to Friday during typical office hours, with evening and weekend work required based on the event calendar. Regular domestic and international travel should be expected to support event delivery.
