We offer a suite of tools for SEO, content marketing, and website performance — backed by 15 years of web crawling data and increasingly powered by AI to deliver strategic insights at scale. We're bootstrapped, profitable, multinational, and fully remote. Our culture is fast-moving, low-ego, and built on smart decisions and ownership. ### The Role You'll lead the marketing strategy and creative execution for [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs)' European events program, and play a central creative role in [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs) Evolve — our global annual conference series. This isn't a pure logistics role: you're the person who helps shape how [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs) shows up at events visually and strategically, from audience campaigns to booth design to swag. You'll report to the Global Head of Events (US-based) and work closely alongside our Global Partnerships & Revenue Manager (SG-based) on Evolve sponsorship activations and European & US sponsored events. For fulfillment and operational execution, you'll partner closely with our Singapore-based Event Operations Manager. You own the creative brief and speaker relationships; they own making it happen on the ground. ### What You'll Do * Lead event marketing strategy and execution — audience targeting, multi-channel campaigns (email, social, partnerships, content), registration drives, and post-event follow-up. * Serve as the single point of contact for [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs) Evolve confirmed speakers — from the moment a booking is made by the influencer team through to post-event follow-up. Speakers should never need to wonder who to contact: you own the relationship, the briefing, and the experience. You'll relay logistics requirements to the Event Operations Manager so speakers deal with one person throughout. * Own creative direction for Evolve, our global annual conference — including fabrication, booth design, and overall brand experience, briefing and working closely with designers across Europe and Asia. * Manage sponsorship booth design and creative for European field events and regional activations. * Lead swag creative direction: concept, design standards, and brand alignment — coordinating with the Event Operations Manager, who owns vendor management and fulfillment. * Collaborate with the Global Head of Events and Global Partnerships & Revenue Manager on Evolve strategy and sponsorship activation planning. * Manage timelines and creative vendor relationships across multiple concurrent projects. * Build and maintain relationships with regional communities, partners, and event venues across Europe. * Provide cross-regional creative support for select events in Singapore and the US, ensuring consistency across all markets. * Track and report on event performance — attendance, engagement, brand impact, and ROI. ### You'll Thrive Here If * You've run B2B field marketing programs or event portfolios with both large-scale and grassroots activations. * You're a strong event marketer with solid creative instincts — you understand audience segmentation, campaign mechanics, and how to build an experience that drives registration and engagement. * You've managed fabrication, booth design, or brand experience at events — you know how to brief designers, hold vendors to a standard, and translate a brand into a physical space. * You understand where your ownership ends and your operational partner's begins — you hand off a complete, approved brief and trust execution to follow. * You're highly organised with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously without dropping quality. * You're comfortable working autonomously in a remote, distributed team — you make decisions confidently within your remit and escalate when budget, scope, or brand is affected. * You have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. * You're based in the UK or Europe and comfortable with occasional travel across the region, and to the US & Singapore. ### Bonus * Experience with event technology platforms (registration, AV, attendee engagement tools) * Background in SaaS, tech, or digital marketing industries * Familiarity with SEO, content marketing, or developer/marketer communities * Experience supporting or running events across multiple regions ### What We Offer * Annual company retreat to connect with the global team * Conference budget to stay sharp and connected in your field * Generous paid time off to recharge * Connect Program, visit [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs) offices and meet teammates in person * Remote equipment budget to set up your ideal workspace [Ahrefs](https://himalayas.app/companies/ahrefs) does not engage with agencies or third party recruitment solutions for the roles we hire for.
