Behavox is a high-performance organisation with a strong bias toward delivery, ownership, and responsibility. We commit, and we execute.

This role also serves as a central connector across Marketing, Sales, Product Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, Legal and Leadership.

Establishing clear success metrics - including meetings secured, MQLs, SQLs, pipeline influence and revenue attribution - will be critical, as will continuously analysing performance data to refine and optimise strategy. Global travel will be required as necessary to support high-impact initiatives. What You'll Bring * Global B2B event planning and execution within enterprise SaaS, fintech, or high-growth technology environments. * Revenue marketing strategy, including pipeline generation, acceleration, and attribution modelling. * Event operations management, including logistics planning, vendor oversight, and risk mitigation. * Commercial contract negotiation, budget forecasting, and financial management for multi-region initiatives. * Cross-functional stakeholder management within complex, matrixed organisations.

What We Offer * The opportunity to work on a global, mission-critical AI platform alongside the best engineers and technologists across multiple geographies. * A role with real ownership and impact, building complex systems at scale in an environment that values speed, experimentation, and technical excellence. * A highly attractive benefits package, including competitive cash compensation, an equity award aligned with long-term value creation, and comprehensive health insurance for employees and their families. * Modern, comfortable offices, with an expectation of working from the office 2 days per week, reflecting our belief in strong in-person collaboration. * A generous time-off policy of 30 days annually, plus public holidays and sick leave, recognising the importance of sustained high performance. About Our Process We take Talent very seriously and we are building a community of extraordinary individuals working together in very high performing teams. We also know that the best Talent always has options so we believe that the process has to be a two way assessment - the company AND the candidate assessing the business needs alignment, the career next step alignment, and the cultural alignment.  During the process we will begin by exploring the core factors regarding salary and location along with core experience and skills and values alignment. We will then deep dive explore the critical technical competencies we have identified for the role, and then we will deep dive in behavioral competencies. The most aligned candidate will then be asked to do a practical work task simulation activity so we can make sure that you will enjoy the kind of work the role requires, and this task will typically be presented and discussed with a group of colleagues and managers. Finally we will ask you to meet with a number of our senior leaders to make sure that you are making the most informed call possible. Please note that: * We want to get to know you and have a genuine conversation, so the use of AI tools or assistance during live interviews is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification from the process  * Interviews may be recorded for internal review purposes to ensure fairness and enable collaborative hiring discussions within the team.
