The Opportunity

We’re looking for a dynamic Events & Marketing Manager to lead the end-to-end execution of our events while driving marketing strategies to maximise impact. You’ll own the planning, execution, and promotion of Kami-led and industry events, ensuring they deliver meaningful engagement and business results.

If you thrive on creating high-impact experiences, love storytelling through events, and excel in both execution and marketing, we want to hear from you!

• Audience Engagement & Lead Generation – Implement strategies to capture and nurture leads, ensuring strong ROI and pipeline contribution alongside our Demand Generation Manager and Lifecycle Marketing Manager.
• Collaboration & Sponsorships – Work closely with Sales, Product, and Partnerships to align event objectives with business goals. Support sponsorship and event-related partnership initiatives to expand event impact.
• On-Site Event Leadership – Represent Kami at key events (ISTE, FETC, BETT, etc.), manage activations, and ensure seamless execution.
• Performance & Insights – Analyse event success metrics and provide actionable recommendations for future improvements.

About You

• 5+ years’ experience in event management, event marketing, or a related role, ideally in EdTech, SaaS, or B2B.
• Strong track record in end-to-end event execution and audience engagement strategies.

What You Get Out of It

• Flexible working options with exciting travel opportunities.
• The chance to shape Kami’s global event strategy and make a tangible impact.
• A supportive, innovative, and collaborative team environment.
