Events Manager APAC
Build a Safer World.
TRM Labs provides blockchain analytics and AI solutions to help law enforcement and national security agencies, financial institutions, and cryptocurrency businesses detect, investigate, and disrupt crypto-related fraud and financial crime. TRM’s blockchain intelligence and AI platforms include solutions to trace the source and destination of funds, identify illicit activity, build cases, and construct an operating picture of threats. TRM is trusted by leading agencies and businesses worldwide who rely on TRM to enable a safer, more secure world for all.
As the Events Manager APAC, you will partner closely with Marketing, Policy, and Sales to drive event-led pipeline growth across the region. You will own the end-to-end strategy and execution of sponsored, co-hosted, and TRM-hosted events and webinars, while building scalable operational processes that increase efficiency, consistency, and measurable impact.
This role requires a balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You will ensure every event is aligned to commercial objectives, delivers quantifiable business outcomes, and continuously strengthens TRM’s regional events engine.
The impact you will have:
Own the full lifecycle of events and webinars across APAC — including planning, promotion, execution, reporting, and optimization — delivering memorable experiences for our customers and prospects that generate pipeline and elevate brand awareness.
Lead a high volume of primarily in-person events annually, ranging from executive roundtables to large-scale conferences, ensuring strong ROI and commercial alignment.
Integrate key marketing initiatives (e.g., TRM Academy, Leo Labs, and other priority campaigns) into event programming to amplify regional impact.
Identify and execute strategic co-marketing opportunities with partners and vendors that directly contribute to pipeline growth.
Scale and optimize event operations by refining workflows, standardizing documentation, tracking performance metrics, and implementing cross-regional learnings.
Partner closely with APAC stakeholders to design and deliver high-quality, strategically aligned events.
Drive execution with speed and precision — moving from concept to launch within weeks, iterating quickly, and managing last-minute changes without compromising standards.
What we’re looking for:
2–4+ years of experience in event marketing, with direct responsibility for event and campaign coordination, preferably within a high-growth B2B SaaS environment (fintech, compliance, or cybersecurity industry experience strongly preferred)
Prior experience at an events agency is a plus
Demonstrated experience owning and executing 50–70+ events annually, ranging from small, private executive roundtables to large-scale conferences, serving both public and private sector audiences
Proven ability to define event objectives aligned with broader marketing and business goals, including pipeline generation, revenue influence, and brand awareness
Strong project management capability, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams under tight deadlines, and excellent on-site problem-solving skills
Experience managing external vendors, including contract negotiation and budget oversight
Hands-on experience with Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier (or comparable CRM and marketing automation platforms)
Experience planning and executing webinars and paid media campaigns is a plus
Willingness and ability to travel 1–2 times per month
Full professional proficiency in English
Korean and/or Japanese language proficiency is a plus

We operate at TRM Speed—meaning we move fast, prioritize impact, and continuously iterate. The ideal candidate will thrive in a high-velocity environment where executing events in weeks rather than months is the norm, adapting quickly to last-minute changes, and ensuring events drive measurable business outcomes.
Learn about TRM Speed in this position:
Rapid event execution—launching and organizing events within weeks, not months.
Agile problem-solving—quickly adapting to last-minute changes like speaker cancellations or venue shifts while maintaining event objectives.

Our work sits at the intersection of AI, national security, and fighting financial crime. The problems are complex, the stakes are real, and the environment evolves quickly. The pace and intensity of the work reflect the importance of the mission.

We also recognize that this style of operating is not for everyone. If you are primarily optimizing for predictability or a consistently balanced workload, we encourage you to use the interview process to pressure test whether this environment is truly the right fit.
