Head of Commercial Events and Operations - Philips IGTD (United States- Remote)
As the Head of Commercial Events and Operations, you will be responsible for designing and executing a data-driven, customer-first, event strategy that drives engagement and impact across the Philips Image Guided Therapy Devices (IGTD) business.
Your role:
Craft the strategic direction and drive the day-to-day operations of a full commercial events portfolio including more than 80 internal meetings (including flagship gatherings such as the National Sales & Training Meeting and President's Club), roughly 200 Medical Education engagements, and over 225 tradeshows each year. In partnership with senior leadership and heads of marketing, you will set the standard for how we direct investments, design events, and engage with the market and our customers.
Create a system to direct our investments, identify impacts of our shows, and manage complex, cross-business reporting so we know every dollar drives commercial impact.
Lead, coach, and develop a talented team of 11 events professionals while collaborating with the Key Opinion Leader and Society Engagement team, Business Unit (BU) marketing leaders, sales and market leadership, medical education teams, and Finance to create a high functioning and collaborative environment.
Manage roughly $4.5 million in direct variable spending and influence another $7 million in indirect costs, giving you executive-level exposure to financial strategy and enterprise decision-making. Expect meaningful growth in commercial leadership and cross-functional influence, with travel to priority events as needed.
You're the right fit if:
You've acquired 10+ years of experience in event strategy, commercial marketing, or marketing operations, including at least 5 years leading and developing people (this role leads a team of 11). You've owned both individual event budgets and complex, portfolio-wide functional budgets.
Your skills include strong financial acumen with proven functional budget management, the ability to measure and prove the business impact of tradeshows and events through clear Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the ability to build an events strategy from the ground up. Artificial Intelligence (AI) fluency and hands-on experience with event management software are a plus.
You have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, or a related field; a Master's degree is a plus.
You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.
You're an emotionally intelligent leader with executive presence, strong cross-Business Unit collaboration skills, and deep operational domain knowledge in events. You're comfortable making strategic recommendations to senior stakeholders and have the ability to travel to key events as needed.
How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations.
This is a field role.
