• Manage external agencies, vendors, venues, and production partners to deliver seamless, high-quality experiences
• Develop detailed project plans, timelines, budgets, and run-of-show documents for complex in-person, virtual, and hybrid programs
• Oversee content strategy in collaboration with speakers and internal teams, ensuring programming is relevant, insightful, and tailored to executive audiences
• Serve as the primary point of contact during live events, proactively troubleshooting issues and ensuring flawless execution
• Lead post-event recaps and reporting, synthesizing insights, performance metrics, and stakeholder feedback into clear recommendations
• Establish and refine event processes, templates, and best practices to improve efficiency and scalability
• Mentor and support junior team members, providing guidance, feedback, and professional development
• Stay current on industry trends, event technologies, and best practices—particularly within financial services and corporate events

This is a fully onsite contract position and requires 5-days/week in office in San Francisco. Pay Rate: $55-60/hour.

• 8+ years of experience managing complex corporate events, ideally within financial services, consulting, or large technology organizations
• Proven experience leading executive-level forums, summits, and high-stakes stakeholder events
• Strong strategic thinking skills with the ability to connect events to broader business goals
• Deep understanding of the financial industry and comfort working with senior leaders and regulated environments
