Global Events Manager

Job description

Company Description

What started in 2007 with a pizza and a plan has grown into a fast-moving SaaS company empowering manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers to thrive in complex B2B commerce.

We are looking for a Global Events Manager who owns our global event strategy end-to-end and turns events into high-impact brand and demand moments.

This role goes beyond flawless execution. You will shape the event narrative, experience, and measurable business impact. You understand our audience deeply, make data-driven decisions, and are excited to raise the bar for B2B events, especially in a moment where our brand and experience are evolving.

Job Description

What you’ll be doing:

As Global Events Manager, you will take full ownership of our global event strategy and play a key role in how Sana shows up in the market:

• Own the global events strategy aligned with company goals, defining clear objectives, target audiences, success metrics, and ROI per event, and making data-driven decisions on which events to participate in.
• Develop compelling event concepts, narratives, and talking tracks in close collaboration with Marketing and Leadership, translating our brand positioning into distinctive, customer-centric B2B experiences.
• Design and manage the full end-to-end attendee experience, from pre-event communication to on-site activation and structured post-event follow-up.
• Measure and analyse event performance (attendance, engagement, pipeline influence, ROI), share insights, and continuously optimize future event strategies and formats.

Qualifications

What you bring:

• 2–3+ years of hands-on event management experience, preferably in a B2B environment.
• Experience owning events end-to-end, not just executing parts of them.
• A strong sense for brand, experience, and storytelling: you are highly creative and not afraid to challenge the status quo.
• A goal-getter mindset: assertive, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership.
• Strong project management skills with a structured, organized way of working.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams.
• Confidence in working with senior stakeholders and external agencies.
• Analytical mindset: you understand how to use data to evaluate impact and guide decisions.
• Willingness to travel internationally 1–2 times per quarter.

Why you’ll love working here:

• Impact from day one – Join a scale-up where your ideas shape how global businesses operate online.
• Continuous learning – Access a structured onboarding rated 9.¹⁄₁₀ by previous hires, mentorship, and feedback culture.
• Hybrid flexibility – Work from our office 3 days per week and from home 2 days.

Who we are:

At Sana Commerce, our values drive everything we do:

• Champions of Our League – We deliver lasting success, balancing quick wins and long-term value
• Supercharge Our Customers – We’re revolutionizing B2B commerce together, helping our customers to lead and succeed.
• Determined to Grow – We embrace challenges, growing and raising the bar for ourselves and our industry.
