As an Event Project Manager, Latam, you will serve as the primary client liaison across your assigned portfolio of events, managing sponsor relationships and coordinating event logistics from concept through execution.

This role requires the ability to manage multiple event types simultaneously, including large-scale summits, custom (single sponsor) client events, and virtual programs. A strong emphasis is placed on delivering event experiences tailored to contracted client objectives.

  • Manage sponsor relationships across multiple assigned events, ensuring a high level of service and engagement.
  • Coordinate and execute custom client programs, including executive dinners, roundtables, private events, and bespoke experiences.
  • Collaborate with audience development to support sponsor-targeted attendee recruitment.
  • Manage sponsor participation in speaking opportunities, panels, and brand activations at in-person summits.
  • Lead regular communication with clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders (primarily via MS Teams).
  • Track KPIs, gather post-event feedback, and deliver ROI reporting to sponsors.
  • Partner closely with sales teams to manage expectations and ensure client satisfaction.
• Event Operations
  • Plan and execute event logistics across multiple concurrent programs, including venue coordination, floorplan management, AV, branding, and client activations.
  • Develop and manage detailed event documentation, including project plans, run-of-show, budgets, and supplier contracts.
  • Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to manage agendas, timelines, and deliverables.
  • Ensure seamless sponsor visibility and execution to deliver a high-quality experience for both attendees and clients.
  • Travel to assigned events, primarily within the Latam.
  • Support select custom client programs in key cities such as Sao Paulo, Mexico DF, Bogota, Santiago de Chile, and Buenos Aires.
  • Oversee onsite execution, including client management, meeting coordination, and event troubleshooting.
  • Manage post-event activities including reporting, financial reconciliation, client deliverables, and debriefs.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in event management, client/partner relations, or B2B sponsorship delivery.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills (Portuguese Brazil native level - English fluency required; Spanish is a plus).
• Client-centric mindset with a proactive, solutions-oriented approach.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Confident, professional, and personable; able to build relationships and work effectively with senior stakeholders and strong personalities.
• Demonstrated project management capability with a structured, deadline-driven approach.
• Experience with event and project management tools such as Monday.com (preferred) and CVENT (preferred) – or the ability to learn these systems quickly.

• Experience with WordPress or similar CMS platforms is a plus.
• Self-starter with the ability to work independently while collaborating across distributed teams.
