What You’ll Do

As Senior Events Marketing Manager, you’ll own Modulr’s event programme end to end: from flagship trade shows and customer conferences, to roundtables, regional and partner gatherings. You’ll work closely with marketing, commercial and senior leadership, and you’ll connect what you deliver to pipeline and revenue outcomes, not just logistics.

Own the event programme – You’ll take full ownership of Modulr’s events from start to finish: budgeting, logistics, vendor management, on-site delivery and post-event review. This includes spearheading our customer conferences and managing trade shows across our target sectors each year.

Drive commercial outcomes through events – You’ll define clear success metrics for each event, with pipeline contribution front and centre. You understand how events fit into the broader commercial picture, and you’ll use that lens to prioritise spend and shape programmes. Post-event reporting won’t just cover attendance and engagement: it will cover impact on brand, pipeline and revenue.

Shape content and messaging – You’ll work with content marketing, demand generation and senior leadership to develop event messaging, set agendas and secure speakers. You’ll make sure every event reflects Modulr’s positioning and lands with the right audience.

Manage delivery across partners and vendors – You’ll work closely with external agencies and internal stakeholders to ensure every event runs smoothly. Managing multiple workstreams simultaneously, hitting milestones and staying calm under pressure is core to how you operate.

Build scalable processes – You’ll assess and improve how events are planned and delivered at Modulr, building the foundations for a programme that can scale as the business grows.

Use data to improve – You’ll monitor KPIs, analyse outcomes and bring actionable insight back into future planning. You’re not just executing, you’re learning and iterating with every event.

Who You Are

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on event delivery experience, with a strong track record of running in-person events that genuinely land: not just executed, but evaluated
• Commercially minded: you understand how events contribute to pipeline and revenue, you can articulate that case to senior stakeholders, and you use it to inform how you prioritise and plan
• Experienced across a range of event formats: trade shows, customer conferences, roundtables, field events and virtual
• Strong project manager who can hold multiple workstreams without dropping detail, and who keeps stakeholders aligned without being chased
• Confident working with and directing external agencies and production teams
• Skilled at developing new events from scratch, from concept through to delivery and review
• A clear communicator and credible stakeholder manager, comfortable presenting to and influencing senior leaders
• Exposure to marketing technology, data analytics or demand generation is a genuine plus
• Curious about AI and how it can improve how events are planned, personalised and measured

What We Offer You

• Share Options – We offer a Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), giving you the opportunity to benefit from any increase in share value in the event of a sale, merger, or flotation.
• Bonus – Our annual discretionary bonus, paid in May for the previous year, is based on both company and individual performance.
• Flexible benefits – £1000 to spend on benefits to suit you, including private medical insurance, gym membership, dental etc.
• Wellbeing app – confidential, on-demand access to therapy, coaching, counselling, management training or mindfulness sessions with accredited professionals, with company-funded hours and top-up options available.
• Holidays – 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays) plus your birthday off. In the UK, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day are fixed holidays. You can choose the remaining days to suit your personal schedule.
• Learning opportunities – Our two-day onboarding program, ModStart, helps equip you for success. Learning doesn’t stop there; we’ll continue to support your development through various channels.
