Events Manager Jobs

About The Role
In this position, you will plan and execute first– and third–party events in the US and Canada, with the opportunity to extend your expertise, consulting and supporting other regions to scale out successful event pilots. We represent some of the smartest and most disruptive minds working in the industry, and we’re looking for someone equally as clever and savvy when it comes to helping us show up on stage in the most strategic way possible. We're less trade show booth and turnkey sponsorship, and more disrupt the status quo - whether it's taking over a café on the Palais, delivering groundbreaking talks, hijacking industry events with hotel takeovers or hosting VIP dinners in unique locations. We’re looking for someone with first– and third–party event experience who is willing to travel and support on the ground, as needed, but more importantly, think outside the “booth” when it comes to how we show up at events.
