Event Manager
About the role
We are looking for an Event Manager who sees events as a business investment. You will own Cosylab’s event presence end to end, from proposing where we show up to showing what it brought us.
Cosylab works in niche, highly technical B2B markets (accelerators, fusion, quantum, radiation oncology, semiconductors), where the number of customers is limited and every relationship counts. Conferences, industry sessions and hosted events are where trust with these customers is built. Your job is to make each one count: the right people met, the right conversations started, and clear follow-up handed to our domain and sales teams.
This is a hands-on role for a strategic mind. You will run events yourself, from first idea to on-site delivery, while thinking a few steps ahead about what each event means for our business domains and finding creative ways to use it to reach our goals.
Key tasks and responsibilities
Event strategy and planning
- Prepare and own the annual event plan and budget, defining the business and relationship outcomes we expect from each event.
- Own Cosylab’s industry representation (speaking slots, panels, industry sessions) in close cooperation with our domain experts.
- Plan and run Cosylab-hosted and co-hosted events (customer and partner gatherings, round tables and webinars).
Hands-on delivery
- Personally lead and execute each event from start to finish, from preparation and partners to on-site delivery.
- Negotiate with venues, organizers and suppliers.
- Find creative ways to get more out of every event (side meetings, customer sessions, follow-up)
- Develop a consistent Cosylab brand experience across all events and domains.
Business impact
- Connect events to the sales pipeline together with business development and sales.
- Track strategic indicators: relationships built, opportunities opened, visibility gained.
- Bring market and competitor insights from events back to the domain teams.
Required qualifications and skills
- At least 5 years of experience in event management, including international conferences and trade shows.
- Experience owning an event plan and budget.
- A strategic, business-oriented mindset combined with a hands-on approach: you use events to open doors and connect people.
- Experience in a complex B2B environment, ideally technical or scientific.
- A constructive, solution-oriented attitude.
- Understanding of event KPIs and how to link event results to CRM and sales targets.
- Clear, structured communication, excellent spoken and written English, and strong negotiation skills.
- Willingness to travel regularly, including internationally.
Bonus points if you have
- Experience with HubSpot or Salesforce and webinar tools.
- Experience using AI tools to automate routine event tasks.
- Experience with account-based marketing or working closely with sales on target accounts.
- An existing network in the scientific, research or high-tech community.
What we offer
- Employment contract for an indefinite period with a six-month probationary period.
- A work environment with flexible working hours and a hybrid work model.
- Plenty of personal and professional growth opportunities combined with a competitive and periodically updated salary tailored to your skills, experiences, and results.
- Company-funded licenses for leading AI tools (Claude Code).
- Interesting work full of challenges in an international working environment.
- Opportunities to work abroad.
- High-impact learning culture: regular in-house and external training sessions and a team of international professionals eager to help you grow.
- Many recreational after-work activities, additional health insurance (Specialists+), unlimited coffee, soft drinks, fruit, and other well-being goodies.
- Cosylab events (Teambuilding, New Year’s Party, Picnic … ).
