🏢 About Wood Mackenzie

Wood Mackenzie is the global leader in data, analytics, and insights for the energy, chemicals, metals, and mining industries. Their focus on empowering smart climate and energy decisions makes them a mission-driven employer for those passionate about sustainability.

About This Role

As an Event & Webinar Marketing Specialist, you will own the end-to-end execution of email and social media campaigns for global in-person briefings and webinars. Your work directly drives attendance and engagement for thought leadership events that influence key industry stakeholders. This role is central to Wood Mackenzie's marketing strategy, requiring a blend of technical platform skills and creative campaign management.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start by reviewing campaign performance dashboards from yesterday's email sends, then segmenting a new audience list in Pardot for an upcoming webinar. You'd draft social media posts for the next briefing, coordinate with the events team on logistics, and run an A/B test on subject lines for a follow-up email. Afternoon could involve a Salesforce sync check and a meeting to plan the next quarter's event calendar.
