Senior Manager, Events and Experiences

As the Senior Event & Experiences Manager, you’ll be responsible for strategizing, planning, executing, and measuring the success of Benevity’s in-person events portfolio — including local events, sponsored trade shows, and our annual flagship conference, Benevity Live, which brings together 600+ purpose-driven professionals from around the globe.

You’ll play a key role in driving pipeline growth and deepening engagement with our clients and prospects, ensuring every touchpoint reflects a world-class experience that embodies the Benevity brand.

In addition, you’ll lead and mentor a small team of event professionals, fostering collaboration, creativity, and operational excellence. You’ll provide strategic direction, set priorities, and ensure alignment across all event initiatives in support of Benevity’s growth goals.

This is a highly cross-functional role, working closely with teams across Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Operations, Sales (Land & Expand), and Customer Success to ensure events deliver measurable business outcomes.

What you'll do:

• Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing events team, providing guidance, support, and opportunities for growth while ensuring clear accountability and alignment with company objectives.
  
• Plan, execute, and optimize Benevity’s in-person events portfolio — including regional activations, sponsored trade shows, and Benevity Live — maintaining a detailed budget and ensuring events come in under budgetary targets.
  
• Develop and execute event strategies tied to pipeline and revenue growth goals, setting measurable objectives to evaluate success.
  
• Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, sales, and customer success teams to align event strategy with broader go-to-market initiatives.
  
• Oversee all logistics and production — including venue selection, vendor management, AV coordination, staffing, and on-site execution.
  
• Partner with demand generation and content teams to lead pre- and post-event communications that maximize attendance, engagement, and follow-up.
  
• Ensure a world-class attendee experience for clients, prospects, and partners — bringing Benevity’s brand and purpose to life at every touchpoint.
  
• Track and report on event ROI, including leads, pipeline impact, and client engagement metrics.
  
• Manage relationships with external partners and event platforms (Cvent, Zuddl, etc.) to deliver seamless and scalable event execution.
  
• Drive continuous improvement across the events function, optimizing processes, tools, and best practices to elevate quality and efficiency.
  

What you'll bring:

• 5+ years of experience in event planning, production, and execution — preferably within B2B SaaS (corporate giving a plus!).
  
• 2+ years of experience leading or mentoring a team, with a passion for developing people and fostering collaboration.
  
• Proven ability to manage complex events end-to-end, with a focus on measurable business outcomes.
  
• Strong understanding of event ROI and experience using data to guide strategy and reporting.
  
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills; you thrive on juggling multiple priorities with precision and calm.
  
• Deep client empathy and commitment to delivering a world-class attendee experience.
  
• Collaborative and proactive communicator, comfortable leading cross-functional initiatives and bringing internal stakeholders along.
  
• Experience with HubSpot, Salesforce, and event management platforms such as Cvent or Zuddl.
  
• A creative problem-solver who brings new ideas and energy to every project.
  
• Expected travel 25%; must be able to travel to the United States and Europe.
