Sounds like a very busy, but interesting job. I have a few friends who work in stuff like organizing events and activations. They say the job is fun, but can be very exhausting at times since it might require some of your weekends.

I have only dabbled in small scale event planning and shit is way more tiring than most projects.

This doesn't confirm anything about a specific PS5 event. In fact it doesn't even confirm which specific type of events (out of the following list) this person would be responsible for.

The Events team is part of the Activations, Partnerships and Events group, and responsible for delivering B2B and B2C events including product launches, influencer experiences, staff socials, launch parties, press conferences, company conferences, talent dinners, senior management meetings and trade, retail and consumer exhibitions internationally.

What are the odds these international events aren't referring to E3 and the like but to Sony's own bigger international events they'd wanna start doing? Sorta like a Sonycon or something. Though I guess 4 of them in a year might be much for that.
