Events Associate

Responsibilities

• Concept and plan the events
• Pitch and plan 2 to 4 events a month, mixing content-led sessions, social gatherings and the occasional webinar
• Scout venues people get excited about (new restaurants, galleries, rooftops, studios, private rooms), not hotel ballrooms
• Manage budgets, vendors, venues, catering, collateral, and logistics for every event
• Build a calendar that keeps us showing up regularly in our key markets
• Personally invite marketing and ecommerce leaders at the brands we want in the room, by email, LinkedIn and phone
• Build guest lists with our team so every room has the right mix of people
• Manage RSVPs, reminders, and confirmations to cut no-shows
• Design the night so networking happens naturally: intros, seating, small-group formats, and bring the right WITHIN people, briefed on who's coming
• Own the follow-up so conversations keep going after the night ends: who reaches out, when, and with what

Requirements

• Taste. You know the cool spots in every city, and you throw events people actually want to go to, because the room and the conversation are both worth it
• Scrappy. When the venue double-books or the speaker cancels an hour out, you find a fix and the guests never notice
• Calm under pressure, always prepared. You're probably type A: run of show done, backups for the backups
• A natural host. You can work a room, make the right introductions and make every guest feel welcome
• 1 to 3 years in events, field marketing, partnerships, hospitality or a similar role (agency, startup or B2B a plus)
• You've planned and run events yourself, even small ones, and you sweat the details
• You're comfortable cold calling and reaching out to people you don't know yet, you get creative when email gets ignored, and you don't mind hearing no
• You like testing things, you look at the numbers, and you're honest about what didn't work
• Strong writing for invites, follow-ups and sponsor decks
• Organized enough to juggle several events in different cities at once

Preferred

• Experience with HubSpot or Salesforce
• A network in DTC, ecommerce or consumer brands
