Founding Events Director

We're looking for an Events Director to be Omnea's first marketing hire in North America. This is a rare opportunity: the entrepreneurial ownership of building a loyal following from scratch in a new market, but with the funding, brand, and momentum of one of Europe's fastest-growing B2B SaaS companies. You'll be embedded in our NYC office alongside an exceptional GTM and Customer team, and Arie Barendrecht (US, GM) who is scaling Omnea's US presence at an incredible pace. This role sits at the intersection of marketing and sales: you'll operate as an extension of the revenue team and will own a pipeline number. Events are the core of this role. You'll own Omnea's presence at trade shows, run executive dinners, build regional programmes, and create the kind of high-touch moments that open doors with enterprise buyers. Alongside that, you'll be comfortable picking up broader growth marketing activities, ranging from ABM or content marketing (e.g. videos from events).

Responsibilities

Own Omnea's field presence across North America, with events as primary lever: trade shows, executive dinners, hosted roundtables, roadshows, and regional programmes targeting CFOs, procurement leaders, and finance operators; Plan and execute events end-to-end, with sharp pre/during/post motions that convert attendance into pipeline, not just brand awareness; Build the playbook for how Omnea shows up in the US market, from which events are worth sponsoring to how we run our own; Travel regularly to industry events across North America and make regular trips to London HQ; Support net-new pipeline generation beyond events: running ABM programmes, coordinating with Commercial Associates, and picking up paid or digital activity where needed; Work closely with the NYC GTM team and US GM to align on territory priorities, account strategy, and pipeline goals, acting as a peer to GTM leadership, not a service function; Feed market intelligence back into the business, informing positioning, messaging, and product direction based on what you're hearing in the field; Partner with London-based marketing team to localise campaigns and assets for the US market; Measure everything: pipeline influenced, account engagement, event ROI, and conversion, and use that data to continuously optimise your approach; As Omnea's US presence scales, you'll have the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own
