• Design and deliver a mix of high-touch, curated experiences (e.g., private roundtables, next-gen forums, thought leadership salons, and bespoke activations) tailored to the Family Capital audience.
• Have a holistic understanding of the broader Global Events Calendar and identify opportunities for potential synergy, cross-collaboration, and content syndication within your business function.
• Measure and optimize event impact using defined measurement framework (e.g., attendee quality, engagement, content reach, and contribution to commercial outcomes)

Core Skills:

• Commercial mindset with the ability to translate business priorities into event strategies that drive measurable outcomes (e.g., client engagement, relationship deepening, pipeline influence)
• Strong business acumen with an understanding of private markets, wealth management, or Family Capital dynamics
• Ability to identify and prioritize high-impact opportunities within a broader events ecosystem
• Leverage AI tools to enhance event strategy, content development, audience targeting, and post-event insights—demonstrating curiosity and adaptability in a rapidly evolving landscape.

• Experience in financial services or regulated environments preferred
• Highly proactive and solutions-oriented, with the ability to operate independently and navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
• Able to strategically balance innovative “big picture” thinking with tactical execution
• Experience leading and influencing at all cross-functional levels of an organization
• Comfortable in a multi-stakeholder environment across various time zones
• Excellent communicator – verbally and written – with refined executive presence
