Event & Connection Manager

Event & Connection Manager

Riyadh, KAFD

SAR 16,000 – 20,000 per month (tax-free) + bonus + benefits

Are you a commercially minded events leader who knows how to build community, drive revenue and deliver premium experiences

We're recruiting for an ambitious, fast-growing wellness concept in Riyadh — and this is not a typical events role.

This is your opportunity to own and build a full-scale social wellness ecosystem from the ground up.

The Role

As Event & Connection Lab Manager, you will own the full events and social wellness calendar end-to-end.

You'll design and deliver a 12-month programme of member-only and public ticketed events that drive:

• Member retention and engagement
• Brand equity and cultural relevance
• Ticket and sponsorship revenue
• Membership acquisition

This is a standalone role with full ownership. You'll work cross-functionally with Marketing, Operations and Wellness teams to ensure every experience is premium, consistent and commercially successful.

What You'll Be Responsible For

Programming & Event Ownership

Build and manage structured event formats including:

• Member culture nights and curated experiences
• Adventure fitness and recovery events
• Public social and lifestyle events
• Educational talks, panels and networking events
• Integrated wellness experiences

End-to-End Production

Own the full event lifecycle:

• Concept and budgeting
• Vendor management
• On-site delivery
• Guest experience standards
• Post-event reporting and performance tracking

Sponsorship & Commercial Performance

• Develop and manage sponsorship partnerships
• Own ticket pricing and margin targets
• Track revenue, gross margin and conversions
• Support conversion of attendees into memberships

This is a commercially accountable role — not just creative.

About You

• 5+ years experience in premium events, hospitality, community or wellness
• Proven sponsorship or partnership experience
• Strong budgeting and operational discipline
• Comfortable owning outcomes independently
• Commercially aware with a focus on performance

The Package

• SAR 16,000 – 20,000 per month (tax-free)
• Allowances (housing and transport where applicable)
• Performance bonus (up to 15–25% of base)
• Medical insurance
• Annual leave + public holidays
• Visa support (if applicable)
