What You'll Do

As the Client Experience & Events Manager, you will be the driving force behind all client and employee events in the Amsterdam office. Acting as a department of one, you will own the end-to-end planning and execution of experiences that reflect BCG’s brand, culture, and client-centric mindset. This highly autonomous, hands-on role requires exceptional organisational skills, creative problem-solving, and the ability to operate independently while collaborating closely with the Local Operations Manager and reporting into LAB Client Experience Director and a dotted-line capacity to the LAB Operations Director.

You will work across teams to deliver exceptional in-person and hybrid engagements—whether it's hosting senior clients, creating internal employee experiences, or managing multi-stakeholder meetings. This is a unique opportunity to build and run the Amsterdam event function while having direct visibility with senior stakeholders and shaping the office’s client engagement strategy.

What you’ll do

Strategic Leadership

• Independently plan the development and execution of the Amsterdam client experience and events strategy and drive alignment between local execution and regional (LAB) objectives.
• Design and implement high-visibility client and employee event programs, including C-level forums, partner-hosted sessions, and sector-specific engagements.
• You will represent Amsterdam as a key node in the broader London–Amsterdam–Brussels (LAB) system, actively participating in cross-office knowledge sharing, strategic alignment, and co-delivery of high-impact programs.

Team & Stakeholder Management

• Build strong collaborative relationships with LAB Client Experience and Events team, Managing Directors & Partners, Marketing, Talent, Legal and Office Operations to support broader business priorities.
• Work in daily partnership with the Local Operations Manager to align event planning with office needs, logistics, and space coordination.
• Serve as the primary escalation point for all client and employee events in the Amsterdam office, ensuring high-touch service and swift issue resolution.
• Maintain a dotted reporting line to the LAB Operations Director to ensure consistency with regional experience standards and strategic priorities.
• Attend regular LAB client experience team calls, contribute to regional initiatives, and adapt best practices from London and Brussels to the Amsterdam context.

Event & Experience Oversight

• Independently plan, coordinate, and deliver all client- and employee-facing events in the Amsterdam office—from concept to execution, including logistics, venue coordination, registration, vendor setup, AV, catering, on-site support, and post-event wrap-up.
• Execute both large-scale and intimate events including C-level client sessions, internal milestones, town halls, recruiting engagements, roundtables, and executive visits (all internal and external events).
• Be on-site and hands-on for every event—from setting up rooms with logistic teams support and coordinating testing AV to greeting guests, handling last-minute changes, and overseeing pack-down.
• Serve as the first responder to any day-of issues, ensuring seamless experiences regardless of complexity or audience.
• Monitor experience quality and continuously improve processes using stakeholder input and lessons learned. Set and monitor KPIs for events, feedback, and experience metrics, ensuring continuous improvement through data.
• Instill an experience mindset across internal functions to reinforce client-centric culture.
• Provide hands-on leadership for flagship events, including executive briefings, launch activations, and internal/external receptions.
• Create and execute standardized frameworks for event typologies (e.g., high-touch dinners, flagship forums, roundtables, virtual sessions).
• Champion innovation in event design, hybrid formats, and bespoke client journeys.

Vendor Management

• Develop and manage a preferred supplier ecosystem—venues, caterers, production firms, talent agencies—ensuring quality, value, and alignment with BCG standards.
• Act as the single point of contact for all external vendors and suppliers: sourcing, negotiating, booking, and supervising all services.
• Ensure all legal and procurement processes are met in collaboration with the relevant teams.
• Identify sponsorship or revenue opportunities that align with the firm’s brand, employee and client base.

What You'll Bring

• Minimum 7+ years of experience in strategic event management or client engagement, preferably within a professional services or corporate environment.
• Proven experience leading teams and working in matrix organizations with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of client experience design and brand positioning.
• Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); experience with CRM, event management platforms, or dashboard tools (e.g., Salesforce, Cvent, Tableau) is advantageous.
• Excellent leadership, coaching, and stakeholder influencing skills.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to operate tactically in fast-paced environments.
• Outstanding communication skills—both written and verbal—with the ability to liaise confidently with senior leaders and external partners.
• High attention to detail, with a proactive and solution-oriented mindset.
