One of the world's most dynamic business-event companies is looking to hire a revenue-focussed Event Director, based in Singapore to run premium tech events. Assisting the Event Director, you'll input into planning and manage Operations; Marketing and team members on high-profile shows ensuring their smooth running as well as the show budgets, ensuring no overspend and maximum profitability. We're looking for a dynamic Manager that can assist the sales process rather than an operational administrator.

• Day to day management of the sales team ensuring the team is fully briefed and equipped
• Develop strategy and tactics for new business leads and recruitment of new accounts
• Develop a marketing strategy with the Event Director that meets targets on exhibitor numbers and mix; stand sales; and sponsorship inventory, yield and revenues

• Work with the operations team to execute a strategy that meets budget while ensuring high levels of exhibitor and delegate experiences and production values are maintained
• Identify and implement (where possible) extra revenue streams and brand extension opportunities
• Monitor and report competitor activity, taking actions where necessary
• Get close to your market, understand its trends and develop your event around it

Event Manager - Requirements:

• At least two years experience in an Event-Management role
• A CV showing stability in your roles not a move every year
• A revenue-building rather than merely an operational outlook
• Genuine desire and preparedness to move to Singapore

This is a rare chance to join a very successful team offering a high level of autonomy as well as significant benefit and development opportunity including a lucrative share ownership scheme in Asia's 'Garden City'. If you are serious about moving to Singapore and have the skills we're looking for, then we'd love to hear from you. Please send a CV now!
