Senior Manager, Events

Job Description

Fabletics is looking for a Senior Events Manager.

How do you fit in?

As the Senior Events Manager, you'll own Fabletics' brand events end to end — from strategic planning through execution and measurement — and support retail events as needed, acting as a thought-partner on our brand events strategy. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator and collaborator, highly organized with exceptional attention to detail, well-versed in event planning and agency management, and has executed large-scale brand marketing events. You'll report to the Director of Social and Events, manage one direct report, and partner closely with cross-functional Marketing teams (social media, content, creative, retail, etc.).

What you will do:

• Own the brand events strategy: build and maintain the annual events calendar, aligning timing with marketing, product and retail moments to support business goals and the 360-consumer experience.

• Own execution end to end — venue sourcing, contracts, logistics, travel, asset shipping, production schedules, run-of-show and day-of operations.

• Own the events budget: forecasting, tracking spend and reconciling invoices.

• Manage external agencies, production partners and vendors on briefing, timelines and performance; partner with brand collaborators on co-branded activations.

• Set KPIs for each event and deliver post-event recaps to leadership on performance, budget and recommendations for future activations.

• Partner with Creative, Social and Comms on event marketing materials; coordinate with Retail, Ops, IT, Facilities and Legal on permits, insurance and on-site health/safety requirements.

• Manage brand presence at third-party events (festivals, expos, wellness/fitness), including footprint design and on-site execution.

• Manage and develop one direct report — setting priorities, delegating workstreams and coaching toward the next level.

• Build repeatable playbooks, briefing templates and vendor rosters to scale events without losing quality; support retail events with brand standards and toolkits.

What you can bring:

• Bachelor's degree; emphasis in communications, marketing or public relations preferred.

• 5-7 years of related experience in brand event planning and agency management across the fashion, beauty or wellness sector, with a balance of creative, strategic and executional strengths.

• Proven track record executing large-scale brand marketing events on time and on budget, including full ownership of event budgets — forecasting, tracking spend and reconciling invoices.

• Proven experience managing external agencies and vendors, including scoping, briefing, holding partners accountable to deliverables and timelines, and negotiating contracts, SOWs and event insurance requirements.

• 1+ year managing or mentoring a direct report, with a track record of developing junior talent.

• Deep comfort with event logistics — venue sourcing, permits, production schedules, load-in/load-out and on-site management.

• Experience coordinating talent, influencers and VIP guests, including guest list management and day-of hospitality.

• A positive, high-energy team player with excellent communication, organization and project management skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and troubleshoot in a fast-moving environment.

• Strong skills with Microsoft Office tools; working knowledge of project management platforms (Asana, Monday.com or similar).

• Willingness to travel and to work non-standard hours, including evenings and weekends, during event periods.

• Ideal candidate brings foundational AI literacy, including experience using generative AI tools, and a proactive mindset to experiment with new technologies to drive productivity and innovation. 

Where we are:

• This role will be based in our El Segundo Headquarters.
