About the roleHosting great events are a critical way we bring on new clients and retain existing clients at Crosby. Our customers are very busy people: CROs, GCs, and CFOs at the fastest growing AI startups and Fortune 500 companies. We need to throw exceptional, can't miss events that busy people with many options will make time for.
What you'll do- Host incredible events from Michelin starred dinners to suites at can't miss sports games to creative "I never thought a company could sponsor that" experiences; throw events you personally are dying to go to, not bland corporate events.
- Own the details from idea through execution, including venues, vendors, budgets, creative, guest lists, programming, production, and on-site execution.
- Partner with the Head of Marketing to shape our events strategy, including what personas and geographies to prioritize and which conferences to sponsor, and tying IRL experiences into broader campaigns and business goals.
- Build our very first customer conference, bringing together Crosby customers for an elevated day of sharing best practices and forging deep relationships.
- Partner with the Head of Marketing, Head of Brand, and sales to stand out at industry conferences with unique booths, speaking opportunities, and upscale experiences so every conference appearance gives attendees a reason to seek us out.
- Build the playbook for our events program: establish repeatable concepts, creative standards, and production processes; measure performance, gather learnings, and constantly raise the bar so we can double down on what works and drop what doesn't.
