Job Summary

Own Ahrefs Evolve’s end-to-end event narrative — from speaker management and creative direction to multi-channel activation, partner coordination, and post-event impact analyses.

  • Lead event strategy and multi-channel execution to drive registrations and engagement across audiences and regions.
  • Own speaker relationships, briefs, and on-site experience, ensuring a single point of contact from booking to post-event follow-up.
  • Oversee global conference creative direction, booth design, sponsorship activations, and consistent brand experience across venues.

Job Description

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. 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.
  • 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.

Preferred

  • 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

Benefits

  • 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
