Programmes & Events Manager

About the role

The Programmes & Events Manager leads the design, planning and flawless delivery of the CEO Roundtable’s convenings — from intimate members’ roundtables to flagship national forums. The role turns the Secretariat’s advocacy agenda into well-run, high-impact engagements that bring chief executives, government and partners around the same table.

What you will do

• Own the annual events calendar end to end — concept, budget, logistics, run-of-show and post-event reporting.
• Convene roundtables, knowledge forums and the flagship annual engagement, coordinating speakers, venues and members.
• Translate the advocacy and policy agenda into programme themes and session designs.
• Manage vendors, sponsors and partners to deliver events on time and on budget.
• Lead a small programmes team and coordinate cross-functionally with communications and membership.

What we are looking for

• Bachelor’s degree in business, communications, events management or a related field; a Master’s is an advantage.
• Minimum 6 years’ experience in event or programme management, at least 2 in a leadership role.
• Demonstrated track record delivering senior-level or corporate events.
• Proficiency with project-management and productivity tools.

Who you will work with

• Internal: CEO, Communications, Membership & Partnerships teams
• External: member companies, sponsors, government institutions, venues and suppliers

How success is measured

• Events delivered on schedule and within approved budget.
• Member and partner satisfaction scores per engagement.
• Attendance and senior-executive participation rates.
• Sponsorship and cost-recovery targets met.
