Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of Lawhive's events and community presence in the US, from intimate dinners and roundtables to larger flagship moments
• Build and nurture a community of lawyers, legal operators, founders and investors who see Lawhive as a place worth showing up for, not just a vendor
• Identify and create opportunities that support business development and M&A conversations, working closely with leadership to understand who we need in the room and why
• Partner with the UK brand team to ensure US activity feels distinctly Lawhive while reflecting the nuances of the US legal and tech market
• Manage budgets, vendors, venues and external partners, bringing a sharp eye for detail and quality at every touchpoint
• Develop relationships with relevant industry bodies, law firms, legal tech players and media to expand Lawhive's footprint and credibility in the US
• Measure and report on the impact of events against brand awareness, pipeline and relationship-building objectives, and use that insight to sharpen the strategy over time
• Bring fresh, original ideas to how a legal tech company can build a community, rather than defaulting to generic industry conference formats

Requirements

• Youve built or significantly grown an events or community function from the ground up, ideally at a high-growth tech company, and know what it takes to do this with no playbook to follow
• You have a sharp instinct for brand and experience design, you understand that a poorly run event damages credibility just as much as a great one builds it
• You're comfortable owning ambiguity and building structure where none exists, this is a first-of-its-kind role and you'll be defining what good looks like
• You think commercially, you understand how events tie back to brand awareness, relationship-building and ultimately business outcomes like M&A and partnerships, not just attendance numbers
• You're a sharp communicator and relationship-builder, equally comfortable in a strategy conversation with leadership and managing vendors
• Experience in or exposure to the legal industry is a strong bonus, you understand how lawyers think, what earns their trust and what they consider a waste of their time
• You're excited by the idea of building something category-defining in a market and industry that hasn't seen this kind of brand investment before

Preferred

• Experience in or exposure to the legal industry is a strong bonus
