Who we’re looking for
Not everyone can head up events at this caliber. To be seriously considered for the role, you need to be the following:
You’re a creator: You have a penchant for visualizing and planning events, and then just getting them done. Your enthusiasm complements your drive for success. You bring a vision to life.
A full stack events owner: From concept to logistics to putting butts in the seats, you’ll own our events lifecycle. You’ll collaborate with multi-functional team members across the company.
Utility player: You may not yet be a fintech events guru but you’re quick and willing to learn a new subject and a new audience. You’re able to move between ideation, planning, and execution.
Alone and together: There is a lot of autonomy to this role, so you should be self-motivated and self-sufficient. There’s also a fair amount of creativity in the role, so you must be able to gracefully receive feedback about your work to successfully navigate within our organization, with our partners, and with our audience.
A true events professional: The events general manager will be tasked with researching and securing venues, planning and managing our events' calendar, negotiating quotes and agreements with vendors, recruiting speakers and prepping them to speak, assisting with event marketing, no holds barred hunger to get butts into seats whatever it takes, monitoring timeframes and budgets, a natural networking capability.
Requirements
Fintech experience is not required but you have an interest and curiosity in learning about this exciting field. A demonstrable, proven ability to create and execute compelling events is required. You’ve created events at a high level in previous roles. We have deadlines, so you should be comfortable planning and running events within a schedule.
