Events Marketing Manager, Ahrefs

• 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

Desirable

• You'll lead the marketing strategy and creative execution for Ahrefs' European events program, and play a central creative role in Ahrefs Evolve — our global annual conference series
• This isn't a pure logistics role: you're the person who helps shape how Ahrefs shows up at events visually and strategically, from audience campaigns to booth design to swag
• You'll report to the Global Head of Events (US-based) and work closely alongside our Global Partnerships & Revenue Manager (SG-based) on Evolve sponsorship activations and European & US sponsored events
• For fulfillment and operational execution, you'll partner closely with our Singapore-based Event Operations Manager
• You own the creative brief and speaker relationships; they own making it happen on the ground
• 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. Speakers should never need to wonder who to contact: you own the relationship, the briefing, and the experience. You'll relay logistics requirements to the Event Operations Manager so speakers deal with one person throughout
