Informa Markets, a division within Informa, creates global platforms for industries. We organise over 500 large-scale branded and transaction-oriented events in 14 specialist markets. These are typically not-to-be-missed annual events where buyers and sellers build relationships, see and show products and do business.
We also provide year-round online platforms where companies showcase their businesses and products and buyers conduct research, generating valuable leads, and we provide data and digital content that supports the flow of knowledge and transactions in markets.
Informa is looking for an Event Director to lead the launch of a regional supercar event in Bahrain, held under a globally recognized brand. The Event Director is responsible for planning, selling and delivering the event in close collaboration with all event functions including sales, marketing, content, operations and finance. This event is of strategic importance to both Informa and local government stakeholders in Bahrain, and therefore the highest standards of external stakeholder management and customer experience delivery are expected.
The Event Director is responsible for leading and delivering the achievement of event targets, while developing innovative ideas for event features and content to attract and enhance visitor/exhibitor experience. A strong sales track record, Arabic language fluency and cultural understanding, as well as a passion for supercars are strongly desired capabilities.
