We are looking for an Events and Partnerships Manager to own Binance's event and brand partnership footprint across MENA. Based in Dubai, you will build and execute the regional events calendar — from flagship conference activations and sponsorships to community-led meetups — and land high-impact brand partnerships that grow awareness, users, and trust in one of the fastest-growing crypto markets in the world. This is a highly cross-functional, execution-heavy role for someone who thrives on ambiguity, moves at crypto speed, and can go from strategy deck to on-the-ground delivery without dropping a detail.
Responsibilities:
- Manage events, sponsorships, and brand partnerships for the region — from planning and evaluation through to end-to-end execution.
- Lead event operations, fast-paced timelines, and high-level stakeholder expectations, always working backwards from key OKRs and business objectives.
- Drive events and sponsorships across relevant sectors — developing event concepts, agendas, timelines, and project plans aligned to business and brand objectives.
- Build a clear business case for each event and partnership, including project plans, timelines, milestones, budgets, and deliverables.
- Work closely with Growth, Community, Social, PR, Brand, and Global Events teams to deliver flagship events in the region.
- Drive strategic partnerships with key brands in the region and lead the Go-To-Market plans for each.
- Own vendor and agency management, budget tracking, and contract negotiation to ensure every activation is delivered on time, on brand, and on budget.
- Measure and report on performance post-event — capturing results against OKRs, sharing learnings, and continuously raising the bar on ROI.
Requirements:
- 4+ years of planning and execution experience in events, sponsorships, and brand partnerships in the MENA region.
- Experience working in fintech, tech, crypto is highly preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to operate in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.
- Ambitious, goal-oriented, and self-motivated, with strong interpersonal skills to build relationships with multiple stakeholders.
- Fluency in English is required to coordinate with internal and external stakeholders. Arabic proficiency is a very strong advantage.
- Strong negotiation skills with a solid understanding of B2B and B2C brand partnership dynamics.
- Solid project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
- Proven ability to assess inbound proposals, develop partner pitches, build clear business cases, secure leadership approval, and drive end-to-end delivery from planning through execution.
- Willingness to travel and work flexible hours around key events, based on business needs.
