Job Description

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences.

That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you'll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what's next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.

Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.

We are seeking a Senior Event Manager (Healthcare & Pharma Congresses) with deep expertise in healthcare trade shows and pharmaceutical congress planning to lead the delivery of high-profile programs across the US and globally.

You will own the full event lifecycle—from strategic planning and HCP engagement through on-site execution and post-event analysis—ensuring every experience meets client objectives, regulatory requirements, and industry standards.

As a key member of the Client Delivery team, you'll collaborate across account, creative, medical, and production teams to deliver best-in-class congress and trade show experiences.

What You'll Do

• Lead the planning and execution of healthcare trade shows, pharmaceutical congresses, medical meetings, and exhibits (including booth activations, symposia, and advisory boards).

• Freight, shipping, and material handling
• Oversee budgets, timelines, and vendor negotiations, ensuring cost efficiency and high-quality delivery.
• Ensure adherence to pharmaceutical compliance standards (e.g., medical/legal/regulatory review, transparency reporting, on-site compliance).
• Serve as the on-site lead at congresses and trade shows, managing stakeholders, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring seamless execution.
• Track performance metrics (engagement, leads, ROI) to inform future congress strategy and identify growth opportunities.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to deliver integrated, multi-channel congress experiences (live, hybrid, and digital).
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to building strong delivery teams.

Who You Are

• 6–8+ years' experience managing healthcare events, pharmaceutical congresses, or medical trade shows (agency experience preferred).
• Proven track record delivering large-scale congress programs (e.g., ASCO Annual Meeting, RSNA, AHA Scientific Sessions, or similar).
• Deep understanding of pharmaceutical event compliance, HCP engagement, and industry regulations.
• Strong client-facing skills with the ability to manage multiple stakeholders, including brand, medical, and regulatory teams.
• Expertise in managing complex budgets, vendors, and timelines in fast-paced environments.
• Experience supporting global congress programs and international logistics.
• Knowledge of healthcare-specific event trends, engagement strategies, and digital/hybrid solutions.
