Our Strategic Events are where our story stops being a pitch and starts being an experience - where CISOs and practitioners walk in curious and walk out convinced. This role owns event execution and delivery across the APAC Strategic Events program - major third-party events, flagship first-party events, and high-profile executive programs - with support from the wider international team.\nAs Strategic Events Manager, you'll play a central role in shaping our regional events strategy and decision-making, bringing local expertise on how events should land with a local-first approach, and sharp insight into the must-attend industry events across APAC. You'll operate independently on the day-to-day, while partnering closely with sales leadership, regional revenue marketing, sales engineering, channel team managers, and a wide range of other stakeholders to get there.\nWe're looking for someone who brings new ideas, critical thinking, and the judgement to drive strategic events that move pipeline forward. You're as comfortable owning execution on the ground as you are shaping the plan behind it, and you bring the same rigour to post-event analysis - turning results into clear, data-backed recommendations that sharpen the program year on year.\nThis is an individual-contributor role: no direct reports, but full accountability for a regional portfolio, a real budget, and the standards that go with it - the autonomy to run your own show, backed by a team when it matters most. If that sounds like your kind of ownership, we'd love to hear from you!\nHow You'll Deliver Impact\nProject Management, Event Logistics & Vendor Management\nManage all event logistics end to end and take full ownership of deadlines, project plans, problem-solving, and stakeholder management and communication.\nManage venues, exhibition requirements, staff schedules, booth logistics, catering, AV, shipping, accommodation, signage and meeting-space requirements across multiple regions.\nSource and manage agencies, venues, production partners and suppliers at regional scale, including contracts and negotiation.\nBuild run-of-shows, timelines and contingency plans across multiple concurrent events and markets.\nCoordinate invitation strategy, registration, attendee communications and internal promotion so the right people show up, market by market.\nRegional Strategy & Portfolio Support\nSupport the APAC strategic event mapping and calendar planning, prioritising investment against pipeline and account-engagement goals.\nHelp decide which events are worth the budget, and advocate for the portfolio with regional and global leadership.\nUnderstand target accounts, ICP and GTM priorities for each market, and tailor the regional activation strategy accordingly.\nInternal Cross-Functional & Partner/Alliance Collaboration\nPartner with Regional Revenue Marketing, Sales, SDR/BDR, Customer Marketing, Sales Engineering, Partner/Alliance Marketing and Brand/Creative across regions and time zones.\nDevelop and maintain regional partner and tech-alliance event engagement, including co-sponsored and co-hosted activations - this may include building sponsor prospectuses for hosted events and defining sponsorship packages for our global alliances.\nWork closely with your Revenue Marketing Manager team to ensure Sales are fully enabled on all event details and what is expected of them.\nMaintain a strong network of reliable vendors and agencies.\nBudget Ownership & ROI Tracking\nManage event budgets to ensure we stay within budget while getting the most value for our money.\nBudget admin, including raising purchase orders, submitting invoices, and updating budget management tools.\nNegotiate to secure the best rates and contract terms.\nOn-Site Execution\nLead on-site execution for flagship regional events, directing any temporary or contract event staff and troubleshooting in real time.\nTrain other on-site team members, including coordinating and leading staff orientations.\nSet clear expectations on-site for all teams.\nPost-Event Follow-Up & Program Result Accountability\nOwn lead capture, CRM hygiene and pipeline forecasting tied to event performance across the region, and report regional ROI to leadership.\nBuild repeatable regional playbooks and share best practice with peers across the broader Strategic Events team, including other regions such as UK/EMEA.\nRun post-event retrospectives and apply lessons learned to improve the next event, raising the bar for the regional program as it scales.\nWhat You Bring\n4-7 years' experience in B2B strategic events, ideally within technology, SaaS, cybersecurity or enterprise software, with a track record of owning a multi-market portfolio independently. Note: this is not a field marketing role.\nA demonstrated track record of owning event strategy and budget for multiple regions - not just executing a plan set by someone else.\nStrong program management chops: able to operate with ambiguity, prioritise ruthlessly, and drive cross-functional work to an outcome without close oversight.\nExperience managing across multiple time zones.\nSignificant budget, vendor and contract management experience across multiple concurrent markets.\nExperience partnering with regional Sales leadership to align events to pipeline and account goals.\nComfortable presenting regional event results, ROI and forecasts to senior stakeholders.\nWillingness to travel roughly 40-50%, mainly across APAC with some EMEA and AMER travel, including evening/weekend work around live events.\nCybersecurity or enterprise software experience is a plus, not a requirement. What matters is commercial judgement, regional ownership, and exceptional execution.\nPreferred\nExperience with event and marketing technology such as Asana, Allocadia, Coupa, Jifflenow, Cvent, Salesforce, Sigma, Splash, RainFocus, Claude, and Google Suite.\nAn additional regional language (e.g. Mandarin, Japanese, Bahasa).\nFamiliarity with account-based marketing (ABM) principles and target-account event strategies.\nExperience mentoring or informally guiding more junior events team members.\nThe Ideal Candidate\nYou know a great regional events program isn't a string of individual events - it's a strategy. One that brings a brand to life market by market, earns trust with prospects and customers, arms regional Sales teams, and produces measurable business impact across a diverse set of markets.\nYou're equally comfortable building a regional budget model in a spreadsheet and solving an on-site problem at 11pm local time, several time zones from home. You're calm under ambiguity, direct when something isn't working, and generous with the teams you work alongside.\nMost of all, you care about the craft - and about building something regional teams can rely on, not just the next event on the calendar.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nThe APAC events portfolio is delivered consistently and ties clearly back to pipeline.\nRegional leadership trusts you with their target accounts and plans around your calendar.\nThe regional budget is managed with discipline and a defensible ROI story\nA note on AI in our process: \n Abnormal AI uses AI-assisted tools to help our recruiting team prepare for candidate interviews.
