Why This Mission:
The Fashion business in SEAA (Southeast Asia & Australia) requires the careful orchestration of events that bring the brand’s creativity, desirability and client engagement ambitions to life. As markets evolve and expectations for elevated client experiences grow, strong coordination across Fashion events is essential.
Events are central to expressing Fashion’s creativity and audacity, and to fostering connections within our communities. The Regional Events Manager leads the planning and execution of a diverse portfolio of events – including collection launches, boutique project orchestrations, major brand initiatives and other exclusive cultural and client experiences – playing a strategic role in how brand moments are conceived, delivered and experienced.
Operating at the intersection of Global vision and Local Market expertise, the Regional Events Manager supports strategic direction, sets standards of excellence and empowers Market Event teams to execute with precision. By fostering collaboration and consistency across all Markets, this role ensures every event is intentional, impactful and reinforces the Brand’s leadership in the Region.
Impact You Can Create In The Role:
The mission is built around four major pillars:
1. Strategy: Defining Ambition & Regional Synergy
Long-Term Vision & Strategic Cycle: Shape the program for events across the Region, contributing to key strategic moments within the Fashion calendar (MTP, Budget…), making sure all events support business goals and long-term plans.
Client Engagement Priorities: Working with Regional & Market teams, stay closely attuned to client engagement priorities, using these insights to guide and support Market teams as they build their event plans, ensuring every initiative is relevant and impactful for our audiences.
2. Execution: Operational Excellence & Impact
Guidelines & Direction: Frame, adapt and share clear guidelines that cover all event formats – collection events, boutique projects (openings, temps, seasonal, ephemeral), pop-ups, major brand projects, cultural experiences… Work closely with teams at every level to make sure everyone is moving in the same direction to deliver ultimate experiences.
End-to-End Project Orchestration: Accompany partners to drive events from start to finish – including planning, production, execution and follow-up – by setting up clear steps, retro-plannings and standards. Ensure every event is well-organised, consistent across all teams and aligned with business objectives.
Production Supervision: Working hand-in-hand with Market partners, lead and coordinate all aspects of event production, making sure everything runs smoothly and matches both creative and practical goals.
3. Community Animation: Engagement & Sharing
Capability Development: With an ambition to be the best place to work, ensure the growth and foster the development of our events community’s capabilities, promoting continuous learning and collaboration.
4. Performance Management: Insights & Accountability
