Job Summary

At Kenes Group, we don’t just organize conferences - we create platforms that inspire innovation, build communities, and drive progress. With 60 years of experience in global conference management, part of our company is Kenes Original Event - an initiative to develop proprietary event brands at the intersection of knowledge, impact, and experience. One of our flagship initiatives is SPORTECH - a disruptive platform uniting sports, technology, and innovation. It exemplifies our ability to bring together thought leaders, startups, and investors around future-shaping conversations. We are looking for a Senior Account Manager with a strategic mindset, entrepreneurial drive, and a passion for partnerships to take these initiatives to the next level. This is not a traditional account management role. As a Senior Account Manager for Original Events, you will be the business owner for selected projects - from idea to execution. You’ll shape the identity and direction of event brands, build strategic partnerships, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver transformative experiences. You’ll work closely with top-tier experts, tech innovators, and global stakeholders to ensure that every event not only meets - but exceeds - its business, content, and community goals.
