Events Program Manager (Employer Branding)

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR 🌟

Everything starts with a conversation — and the best conversations happen when smart and curious people meet, learn, and share.

At Manychat, we believe employer branding is built through real social connections: strong communities and events that make people think, “I want to work with these humans.”

We’re looking for an Employer Branding Manager (Events & Communities) who can improve and maintain a event portfolio — from presence at flagship conferences to local meet-ups collaboration and hosting — and turn it into a repeatable system that grows awareness, trust, and talent pipelines.

WHAT YOU’LL DO 🚀

• Maintain and Improve Manychat's Employer Brand events & communities strategy (global + local) with the Head of Employer Branding.

• Own and keep actual a rolling events calendar (quarterly + annual): conferences, meetups, community partnerships.

• Continuously scout and evaluate opportunities for: Networking (relationships, partnerships, community credibility), Presenting (talks, panels, workshops), Sponsoring (booths/activations).

• Make data-informed recommendations: attend vs. sponsor vs. speak vs. skip — aligned with hiring priorities and audience fit.

• Partner with Engineering/Product/People/Marketing to shape our presence at major industry conferences: narrative, messaging, booth concept, activities, staffing model, on-site ops, lead capture, and follow-up flows.

• Lead vendor selection and negotiations, manage budgets. Project planning.

• Run local meetups in Barcelona, Amsterdam, and other hubs to strengthen relationships and talent pipelines.

• Build long-term partnerships with tech and product communities (Python, AI, Product, Data&Analytics, PHP, etc.) that feel authentic and mutually beneficial.

• Identify and coach brand ambassadors. Maintain a speakers & topics backlog (talk ideas, owners, readiness, target events).

• Drive Call for Papers (CFP) process for Manychat speakers end-to-end: submission planning, deadlines tracking, abstracts support, reviewer coordination, speaker comms, and stage readiness.

• Help scale internal knowledge-sharing to grow a speaking culture and make our expertise visible inside and outside the company.

TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE 💥

You’ll need:

• Experience leading Employer Brand events with ownership from strategy to execution.

• Experience with tech audience events (you understand what engineers/product folks actually care about).

• Hands-on ability to build an events portfolio: calendar planning, prioritization, and ROI thinking.

• Confidence in project management, including budgets and vendors (negotiation, contracts, cost control, logistics).

• Experience supporting speaking programs and running CFP workflows.

• Ability to measure impact and communicate insights clearly to stakeholders.

• English proficiency at C1 level or higher
