About the role
Job Title: Event Marketing Manager
Location: London
Location type: Hybrid
Who we are…
GlobalData Healthcare is the leading intelligence provider for Pharma, Biotech and Medical Device companies, helping them decode markets, outmanoeuvre competitors, and reach more customers. We're at a pivotal growth moment: recently carved out from GlobalData with transformational investment behind us, and ambitious targets ahead.
About Arena…
Arena International Events Group is the specialist event and intelligence brand within GlobalData, focused exclusively on the clinical trials industry. We run 25 world-class events each year across Europe, the US and APAC, bringing together clinical trial leaders from pharma, biotech and CROs to share knowledge, solve operational challenges and build meaningful partnerships.
Our two flagship portfolios, Outsourcing in Clinical Trials (OCT) and Clinical Trial Supply (CTS), are the leading curated event series for their respective communities. Each event is designed for senior, role-specific audiences in the world's most important clinical hubs: London, Boston, Munich, Singapore, and beyond.
The role…
This is a high-ownership marketing role for someone who wants to build and run campaigns, not just execute tasks. You will be responsible for the end-to-end marketing of Arena's event portfolio across three regions, working independently to plan, launch and optimise campaigns that drive delegate registrations and commercial sponsorship for 25 events per year.
You'll work closely with Sales, Production, and Delegate teams to sequence activity intelligently and you'll have the opportunity to attend events on-site across the UK, US and Asia, representing the brand at some of the most senior gatherings in the clinical trials world.
This is a role for a self-starter who is comfortable owning a plan, making decisions, and moving fast across a complex, multi-market calendar.
