Over de functie

Your job as a B2B Event Launch Manager
You will lead the event from launch strategy through to successful delivery. Working across several departments, you set priorities, make decisions and ensure the team moves forward together. Your main responsibilities are to:

Own and deliver the overall event launch strategy, including timelines, resources and commercial objectives.
Lead the cross-functional team across sales, marketing, content, operations, customer service and finance.
Build relationships with industry associations, pharmaceutical companies, public bodies and senior stakeholders.
Develop strategic, commercial, media and industry partnerships.
Take full ownership of the event P&L, including budgets, revenue forecasts, costs and overall performance.

You will also help shape the event programme, grow its audience and represent the event at meetings, trade shows and industry activities. International travel is required.

Your workplace
You will join an international B2B events organisation and work closely with experienced colleagues across multiple departments. Although you will not have formal direct reports, you will lead the project team and quickly establish clear priorities, responsibilities and deadlines.

The environment is fast-paced and entrepreneurial. You therefore feel comfortable making decisions, adapting plans and moving a launch project forward without detailed instructions. At the same time, you communicate clearly and keep colleagues and senior stakeholders informed.

What do you bring to the table?
You are a senior event professional who understands how to launch and commercially develop a trade show, exhibition or conference. You can quickly take the lead and bring different teams and stakeholders together. You have:

Extensive project management experience within B2B trade shows, exhibitions or conferences.
Proven experience launching a new event, exhibition, conference or commercial event format.
Experience leading cross-functional teams through complex, deadline-driven projects.
Strong commercial understanding, including event budgets, revenue forecasts and P&L ownership.
Professional fluency in English; Spanish language skills are strongly preferred.

Experience within pharmaceuticals or life sciences is helpful but not essential. Your background may be with an event organiser, exhibition organiser, conference business or specialist events agency. Experience developing association relationships and commercial partnerships is a strong advantage.

What’s in it for you?
Projob will employ you while you work for an international B2B events organiser. The position is for 32 hours per week. In return for your knowledge and experience, you receive:

Up to € 4.000,- gross per month based on full-time.
temporary employment contract with Projob until September 2027.
A four-day working week, equal to 80% FTE.
