EVENTS MANAGER (NEW YORK)POSITION OVERVIEWBain Capital Ventures executes 100+ events each year, ranging from intimate dinners and salons on key topics within the tech industry, to large tentpole gatherings like Inflection for BCV founders, BCV Labs for early technical builders, Emerge for fund managers, and Convergence for large companies and founders to mix.
Sitting within the marketing team, this role collaborates heavily with the rest of the events team, design, communications and brand, as well as investors.
RESPONSIBILITIES- Plan and flawlessly execute ~2-3 small dinners per week, and 4-5 large events per year
- Develop creative and forward-thinking ways to engage early stage founders on behalf of BCV
- Curate special experiences for communities that are central to BCV's success
- Maintain the team's budget, as events are the major cost center within the marketing organization
- Work cross-functionally with BCV's investing team and The Hive (platform team), as well as broader Bain Capital's Boston-based events and marketing team on targeted events
- Oversee community-building efforts, managing lists, and other ways to keep event attendees connected and engaged after the in-person experience ends
ABOUT YOUAre you obsessed with building community and helping people forge meaningful connections? Do you have strong opinions about the style, taste, and vibes required for a great event? Do you eat, sleep, and breathe tech? Do you love a good workback plan, budget, and Notion tracker? Do you do a little dance inside when someone posts a picture of your event and says it was awesome? If so, this role has your name on it!
- Collaborative: Everyone wants to work with you because you're so effective and love input from across the firm
- Energetic: Upbeat, positive and hard-working, our ideal Events Manager is always "on"
- Detail-oriented: Juggling venues, photographers, and magicians (no joke!) is not for the weak... you know your way around a spreadsheet and a GANTT chart
- Outgoing: Often the first face our founders see at events, you love to help people feel welcome and at home at your events
- Curious: You're always looking to learn about the latest in tech, from inference and post-training to robotics and pharma
- Unflappable: Florist flaked last-minute? No problem. You'll call someone to run to Trader Joe's and no one will be the wiser
- Seasoned: 5-7 years of relevant work curating experiences, events, and communities of founders
LOCATIONCandidates must be based near our New York office near Union Square with an expectation of 3-4 days per week in the office.
COMPENSATIONThe base salary range for this role is $150,000-$210,000 dependent on experience. In addition, this role is eligible for BCV's annual bonus program and profit-sharing plan.
