Job Description
Posted On: February 19, 2016
Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We’re big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work. We offer a collegial culture, challenging projects, and excellent compensation and benefits.
The Experiential Event manager is a critical member of a small but high-energy team responsible for designing and executing high-impact events that inspire and educate Dolby customers and employees. Working closely with the Senior Director, Experiential Marketing, this role is accountable for the entire event life cycle of planning, implementation, and post-event analysis. This role acts as a program manager, working closely with multiple marketing functions including Integrated Marketing, Global Field Marketing, the Marketing Studio, and Communications/PR and drives stakeholder interlock, tracks and communicates milestones, action items and identifies challenges in accomplishing goals and objectives.
This role is responsible for budget oversight including line item projections, tracking and post show reconciliation. Responsibilities include producing assigned Dolby Tier 1 tradeshows worldwide, partner symposiums/forums, product launches, high-profile corporate events, and customer events. As tradeshows and events account for a large part of the overall Dolby marketing budget, the Experiential Event Manager will work to ensure synergies and efficiencies between events: leveraging assets strategically from event to event to build the overall, consistent Dolby brand story while meeting specific business objectives.
As Dolby’s tradeshow presence often includes technical demos, Experiential Event Manager will partner closely with agency of record, Experiential Technical Manager, Integrated Marketing Lead, BG and R&D, and Content/Creative stakeholders to insure interlock around demo strategy, planning, sourcing, set-up, staffing and tear down. He/she will also partner closely with Integrated Marketing and members of the Marketing Studio to ensure the successful integration of relevant marketing messaging and collateral in accordance with the overall objectives and plan.
This is a hands-on position, requiring both big picture perspective and roll-up-your sleeves capabilities, working on large and small events. The successful candidate must be a team player, skilled budget manager and negotiator, obsessive planner and creative/strategic thinker who is self-motivated, confident, hard-working and enthusiastic.
This role reports to the Senior Director, Experiential Marketing.
