About The Role

We are looking for an Events Manager to own and scale Utila’s global events strategy and execution. This person will drive Utila’s presence across industry conferences, partner activations, and Utila-hosted side events - ensuring every event is flawlessly executed, fuels our GTM strategy, and delivers measurable ROI.

This role in our marketing team blends strategy, project management, and hands-on execution. You’ll collaborate closely with Business Development, Sales, Operations, and Partnerships to make sure events directly contribute to pipeline and brand visibility.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage Utila’s global events calendar, identifying and prioritizing conferences, partner activations, and ecosystem opportunities aligned with our GTM strategy and ICPs.
• Define Utila’s event objectives and involvement (sponsorship tier, booth presence, speaking slots, tickets, co-hosted side events etc) in alignment with Marketing, BD, and Sales goals.
• Lead end-to-end event logistics: budget planning and tracking, contracts, vendor and venue management, travel coordination, booth design, collateral, swag, and on-site operations etc.
• Plan and execute Utila-hosted side events (executive dinners, networking sessions, and thought leadership events) to strengthen relationships with Tier-1 prospects and partners.
• Identify and manage partners and co-hosts for side events, joint activations, sponsorships, and ecosystem collaborations.
• Coordinate cross-functional event prep: align with BD on pre-event outreach, briefing sales with Tier 1 prospect lists, syncing with Ops on travel and logistics, and supporting Partnerships/CS on partner and client engagement.
• Drive pre-, during-, and post-event social marketing campaigns (social, email, web) to maximize reach and visibility.
• Track and measure event ROI with clear KPIs (meetings booked, leads generated, pipeline contribution, brand visibility etc.).
• Deliver post-event reports and recommendations, continuously updating Utila’s events playbook to improve strategy and execution for future events.
• Serve as Utila’s remote/on-site lead at events, ensuring flawless execution, professional representation, and seamless coordination across teams and vendors.
  
  

• 3+ years of event management/marketing experience, ideally in crypto or fintech B2B SaaS.
• Proven track record of owning events and side-events end-to-end: strategy and planning to logistics, partnerships, and execution.
• Strong project management skills, able to manage multiple events across time zones.
• Exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and operational discipline.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with BD, Sales, Ops, and Partnerships.
• Strong communication, negotiation, and vendor management skills
