What if the work you did every day could impact the lives of people you know? Or all of humanity?
At Illumina, we are expanding access to genomic technology to realize health equity for billions of people around the world. Our efforts enable life-changing discoveries that are transforming human health through the early detection and diagnosis of diseases and new treatment options for patients.
Working at Illumina means being part of something bigger than yourself. Every person, in every role, has the opportunity to make a difference. Surrounded by extraordinary people, inspiring leaders, and world-changing projects, you will do more and become more than you ever thought possible.
The Senior Manager, Global Tradeshow Strategy & Programs, serves as the central coordination and governance layer for Illumina's global Tier 1 and Tier 1+ event ecosystem. This role ensures maximum enterprise impact, consistency, and operational efficiency across Global Marketing, Field Marketing, and cross-functional stakeholders.
You will act as the connective "glue" that aligns strategy, messaging, design standards, and execution readiness across regions. Rather than managing isolated activations, you will ensure global events operate as an integrated portfolio. This involves driving alignment across planning, resource allocation, and experience design, while enabling Field Marketing to execute locally with clarity.
While Field Marketing owns regional planning and in-market execution, your focus will be on global strategy, alignment, and enablement. You will lead end-to-end execution for select global events that lack clear regional ownership, including the biannual Illumina-sponsored International Precision Healthcare Summit (IPHS). Additionally, you will build scalable toolkits, standards, and playbooks to elevate performance across all events, ensuring agility in response to market dynamics.
Illumina is committed to a fair and transparent hiring process. We prohibit the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the application and interview process. If you require accommodation to complete the application or interview process, please contact accommodations@illumina.com.
The position will be posted until a final candidate is selected or the requisition has a sufficient number of qualified applicants. Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal laws.
We are a company deeply rooted in belonging, promoting an inclusive environment where employees feel valued and empowered to contribute to our mission. Built on a strong foundation, Illumina has always prioritized openness, collaboration, and seeking alternative perspectives to propel innovation in genomics.
We are proud to confirm a zero-net gap in pay, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or race. We also have several Employee Resource Groups (ERG) that deliver career development experiences, increase cultural awareness, and offer opportunities to engage in social responsibility.
Illumina is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing employment opportunity regardless of sex, race, creed, color, gender, religion, marital status, domestic partner status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, pregnancy, military or veteran status, citizenship status, and genetic information.
