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)
