Senior Strategic Events Manager

Join Abnormal, a leading cybersecurity company, as a Senior Strategic Events Manager. In this hands-on role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end planning and execution of key strategic events, including summits, roadshows, customer programs, and internal events. You will manage budgets, contracts, and vendor deliverables, and collaborate with various teams to ensure every event is engineered for pipeline and customer engagement. You will also design and deliver premium executive programs and co-own the planning and delivery of Abnormal's largest internal moments.

• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of key strategic events, including summits, roadshows, customer programs, and internal events.
• Own every component that makes an owned event work, including venue and vendor selection, production, registration, and on-site operations.
• Develop repeatable playbooks, templates, and standards to ensure the event portfolio scales without losing quality.

• Exceptional communication skills — polished agendas, briefing docs, and executive-facing comms that need no cleanup
• Real budget, vendor, agency, and contract management experience across multiple concurrent workstreams
• Strong program management chops: organized, proactive, structured, relentless about deadlines, and genuinely good at driving cross-functional work to an outcome
• 7+ years in strategic events, executive programs, or field marketing — including direct experience owning executive-level programs. Ideally in B2B technology, cybersecurity, SaaS, or another high-growth environment
• Executive maturity. You're comfortable and credible in a room full of senior leaders, internal or customer-side
• Composure under pressure. You can build the plan months out and solve the unexpected problem on-site in four minutes
• Experience delivering large internal events such as Sales Kickoff, sales incentive or club trips, or company offsites
• A premium experience mindset. You're obsessive about details, operationally excellent, and you build moments that people remember
• Commercially minded. You understand how events drive brand, customer relationships, and pipeline — and you make decisions accordingly
• Demonstrated use of AI to improve how you work: streamlining workflows, sharpening decisions, and creating leverage. We're an AI-native company and we expect our team to work like one
• Proven ownership of complex, high-visibility owned events and executive programs from strategy through execution and analysis
• Willingness to travel roughly 25%, primarily in North America
