Events Marketing Executive

About the Position

We're seeking an Events Marketing Executive to lead our European events program and play a central role in our global annual conference series.

Responsibilities

• Lead event marketing strategy and execution - audience targeting, multi-channel campaigns (email, social, partnerships, content), registration drives, and post-event follow-up.
• Serve as the single point of contact for Ahrefs Evolve confirmed speakers - from the moment a booking is made by the influencer team through to post-event follow-up.
• Own creative direction for Evolve, our global annual conference - including fabrication, booth design, and overall brand experience, briefing and working closely with designers across Europe and Asia.
• Manage sponsorship booth design and creative for European field events and regional activations.
• Lead swag creative direction: concept, design standards, and brand alignment - coordinating with the Event Operations Manager, who owns vendor management and fulfillment.
• Collaborate with the Global Head of Events and Global Partnerships & Revenue Manager on Evolve strategy and sponsorship activation planning.
• Manage timelines and creative vendor relationships across multiple concurrent projects.
• Build and maintain relationships with regional communities, partners, and event venues across Europe.
• Provide cross-regional creative support for select events in Singapore and the US, ensuring consistency across all markets.
• Track and report on event performance - attendance, engagement, brand impact, and ROI.

Requirements

• You've run B2B field marketing programs or event portfolios with both large-scale and grassroots activations.
• You're a strong event marketer with solid creative instincts - you understand audience segmentation, campaign mechanics, and how to build an experience that drives registration and engagement.
• You've managed fabrication, booth design, or brand experience at events - you know how to brief designers, hold vendors to a standard, and translate a brand into a physical space.
• You understand where your ownership ends and your operational partner's begins - you hand off a complete, approved brief and trust execution to follow.
• You're highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without dropping quality.
• You're comfortable working autonomously in a remote, distributed team - you make decisions confidently within your remit and escalate when budget, scope, or brand is affected.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
• You're based in the UK or Europe and comfortable with occasional travel across the region, and to the US & Singapore.

Nice to Have

• Experience with event technology platforms (registration, AV, attendee engagement tools)
• Background in SaaS, tech, or digital marketing industries
• Familiarity with SEO, content marketing, or developer/marketer communities
• Experience supporting or running events across multiple regions

We Offer

• Annual company retreat to connect with the global team
• Conference budget to stay sharp and connected in your field
• Generous paid time off to recharge
• Connect Program, visit Ahrefs offices and meet teammates in person
• Remote equipment budget to set up your ideal workspace
