[Hiring] Events Manager @Assemble

Role Description

You'll be at the front line of our events—bringing senior decision-makers, sponsors, and delegates together to create powerful, peer-driven experiences from planning through execution.

The Event Manager will own the full lifecycle of assigned events, serving as the main point of contact and final decision-maker for cross-departmental input on their respective events. This will require close collaboration with our Customer Success team, Event Operations team, and other departments to ensure every detail—from attendee data and budgets to onsite logistics—comes together seamlessly.

This role is both strategic and hands-on, with a strong focus on client relationships and operational excellence across the full event cycle. You'll travel onsite to lead setup, registration, conference room operations, 1-2-1 meeting scheduling, and teardown, while keeping databases and event websites accurate and up to date.

You will play a critical role in maintaining strong client relationships, running event kickoffs, health checks and debriefs, and identifying opportunities to improve processes and outcomes across events. You'll also support the Chief Product and Strategy Officer with performance management, mentoring, and the onboarding of new team members—helping foster a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
