Freemansland Consultancy Pte Ltd Hiring! Full Time Events - Programmes Manager (B2B - Market Expansion) in - Ricebowl

Job Description: Events & Programmes Manager (B2B / Market Expansion)

Company: Freemansland Holdings

Location: Singapore (with regional travel)

Type: Full-time

About the role

We help Singapore SMEs grow beyond Singapore through roundtables, closed-door trade missions, B2B tradeshows and training. You'll own every event end to end, from idea to post-event follow-up, so the founder only signs off on budget, key partners and public content.

Responsibilities

1.⁠ ⁠Event planning and delivery

• Plan and run monthly roundtables (20–40 pax) and closed-door sessions (10–15 pax).
• Run a B2B tradeshow or expo (40–60 exhibitor booths) and overseas trade missions.
• Source and negotiate venues, AV, F&B, printing and logistics within budget.
• Build run sheets and floor plans, and manage the event on the day without supervision.

2.⁠ ⁠Sponsors, exhibitors and partners

• Sell sponsorship packages and exhibitor booths, and hit revenue targets.
• Build relationships with chambers, trade associations, EnterpriseSG partners and overseas partners.
• Secure speakers and guests: founders, experts, government agencies.

3.⁠ ⁠Audience and marketing (with AI tools)

• Fill rooms with the right SME decision-makers (owners, directors, C-suite).
• Run registration, ticketing, reminders and attendance tracking.
• Work with the marketing team on EDMs, LinkedIn and social posts. Use AI tools to automate invites, follow-ups and reports.

4.⁠ ⁠Content and podcast

• Coordinate recording of roundtables as podcast or video episodes.
• Brief and manage videographers and editors, and make sure episodes go out on schedule.

5.⁠ ⁠Budget, admin and compliance

• Own each event's budget and P&L, and report actual vs. planned.
• Handle permits (e.g. a Police permit for foreign speakers, venue licences) and vendor contracts.
• Track leads from every event into the CRM and hand warm prospects to sales.

6.⁠ ⁠Post-event

• Send surveys, collect testimonials and deliver a post-event report within 5 working days: attendance, revenue, leads and lessons learned.

Must-haves Qualifications

• 3–5+ years running B2B events, conferences, trade shows or trade missions in Singapore.
• Proven sponsor or exhibitor sales (please share numbers).
• Can run an event from start to finish independently, and stays calm under pressure.
• Strong vendor network in Singapore (venues, AV, F&B, printers).
• Confident with digital tools: Google Workspace/Notion, event platforms (Eventbrite, Luma, Peatix), CRM, and AI tools such as ChatGPT/Claude.
• Clear written and spoken English. Mandarin, Bahasa or Vietnamese is a plus for overseas missions.
• Willing to travel regionally.

Nice-to-haves Qualifications

• Experience with EnterpriseSG, SBF, chamber events, or overseas trade delegations.
• Familiarity with MRA or other internationalisation grants.
• Podcast or video production coordination.
• Training or workshop coordination (for the later B2B training arm).
