Job Title: Events Planner

Location: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Employment Type: Full-Time

The Role

The Events Planner owns Ghithaa's presence at the events that matter and creates original events for the brand — finding the right opportunities, building brand partnerships, developing new concepts, and running each event from idea to wrap-up in line with our marketing strategy.

Responsibilities

• Event scouting — Keep a live calendar of fitness, wellness, food, lifestyle, corporate, and community events across KSA. Evaluate each one by audience fit, reach, cost, and sign-up potential, recommend which to join or sponsor, and negotiate participation terms.
• Brand partnerships — Approach and close co-hosted events with gyms, studios, sports brands, clinics, corporates, and lifestyle brands. Make sure every collaboration delivers clear value (leads, subscriptions, content, or exposure) and keep partner relationships active.
• Original concepts — Create events Ghithaa can own: pop-ups, tastings, challenges, community runs, and workshops. Present each one as a short proposal covering objective, audience, budget, partners, and expected results.
• End-to-end execution — Plan and run every approved event: budget, venue, permits, vendors, logistics, staffing, and kitchen catering. Coordinate content coverage before, during, and after, and deliver a wrap-up report on attendance, sign-ups, spend vs. budget, and lessons learned.

Requirements

• 2+ years in event management, brand activations, or partnerships — ideally with a food, fitness, or lifestyle brand
• A proven record of end-to-end events with real results (attendance, leads, sales)
• A strong network of organisers, venues, vendors, and brands in Jeddah and Riyadh
• Confident negotiator, creative thinker, highly organised
• Fluent in Arabic and English
• Available for evenings, weekends, and travel within KSA
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, business, PR, hospitality, or a related field

Nice To Have

• Experience with KSA event permits
• Basic event production know-how (sound, staging, branding)
