US Senior Manager, Global Events and Conferences

Senior Manager, Global Events and Conferences

Innovate with Benchmark Gensuite as a Senior Manager, Global Events and Conferences. Benchmark Gensuite is a unified, AI-native EHS, Sustainability, and Quality management platform trusted by 20%+ of the Fortune 500 and serving 8 million+ workers globally. Founded by EHS practitioners 25+ years ago, we've built our reputation on deep domain expertise, a 95% subscriber retention rate, and genuine partnership with the safety, environmental, and sustainability leaders we serve.

Genny AI, our embedded AI layer, is redefining how enterprise risk and compliance work gets done — and our events strategy is one of the primary ways the market experiences that story in person.

Why This Role Exists

Our subscriber and prospect relationships are won and deepened face-to-face — in exhibit halls at ASSP, NAEM, and NSC; at IMPACT, our flagship customer conference in Louisville; and across a growing slate of regional editions in Amsterdam, Shanghai, Goa, and San Luis Potosí. As Benchmark Gensuite scales globally — now with a footprint across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the UK, France, Slovakia, Germany, India, China, and Australia — our event calendar has grown in scope, complexity, and stakes faster than the operating model behind it.

We need a leader who can turn a sprawling, always-on calendar of trade shows, industry-membership conferences, and international customer events into a disciplined, revenue-connected program — planned 12–18 months out, coordinated flawlessly across Sales, Product Marketing, Customer Success, and regional teams, and continuously sharpened using AI and data rather than instinct alone.

What You'll Own:

• Global Event Strategy & Portfolio Management
• International Customer Conference Leadership
• Cross-Functional Orchestration
• Performance, ROI & Continuous Improvement
• Team & Vendor Leadership

What You Bring:

• 8+ years in field marketing, global events, or event marketing leadership within enterprise B2B SaaS, ideally in a complex, regulated, or technical category (compliance, risk, EHS, ESG, industrial software, or adjacent enterprise tech).
• A track record of owning a global, multi-region event portfolio — trade shows, industry-association conferences, and proprietary customer conferences — with real pipeline/revenue accountability, not just logistics ownership.
• Demonstrated ability to plan 12+ months ahead while still being comfortable in the weeds on-site; this is a strategy-and-execution role, not one or the other.
• Experience managing international, in-person events, including the vendor, cultural, and logistical realities of running events outside the U.S.
• Strong cross-functional influence — you can align Sales, Product Marketing, and Executive stakeholders around a shared plan, and hold your ground on a call when priorities conflict.
• Comfort using AI tools and data to modernize a traditionally manual function — from planning and budgeting to lead follow-up and reporting.
• A resilient, even-keeled presence: live events do not go according to plan, and this role requires someone who can absorb that reality and keep a program (and a team) steady through it.
• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or equivalent experience.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in a subscription/compliance-driven or safety/sustainability-adjacent market.
• Familiarity with membership-association conference dynamics (sponsorship tiers, speaking-slot politics, standing committee relationships).
• Experience building or scaling a regional-conference model from a single flagship event.

How Success Shows Up in This Role:

• A rolling 12–18 month calendar that Sales, Product Marketing, and regional leaders can plan against with confidence.
• A portfolio that's been actively shaped — not just maintained — with clear reasoning behind what's in, what's out, and what's new.
• Clean, credible ROI reporting that holds up in a leadership review, with AI-supported insight behind it rather than a spreadsheet built the week before.
• A team and vendor network that runs events others want to be part of — and subscribers and prospects who leave IMPACT and its regional counterparts feeling genuinely taken care of.
