Position Summary

FundMiner is seeking an organized, execution-focused Events Manager to own our presence across every stage and screen.

Essential Functions & Responsibilities

Conferences & In-Person Events

• Own FundMiner's full conference calendar — research, evaluate, and manage proposals and submissions for relevant industry events across Higher Ed, Healthcare Philanthropy, and Nonprofit/Community Foundation sectors
• Coordinate all pre-event logistics: booth design and setup, branded merchandise and swag sourcing, print materials, and shipping coordination
• Manage on-site presence end-to-end — booth experience, team schedules, speaking engagements, and client or prospect dinners and hosted events at conference locations
• Track conference ROI and inform decisions on which events to prioritize, sponsor, or skip
• Build relationships with conference organizers to identify speaking opportunities and partnership integrations

Digital Events

• Support execution of FundMiner's digital events program — coordinating logistics, production, and follow-through across webinars and virtual programs
• Partner closely with the Partnerships Manager on partner co-hosted webinars, the Customer Success team on customer-focused events, and the Product team on product-related programming
• Manage event coordination from scheduling through post-event follow-up using Livestorm and HubSpot
• Drive registration, attendance, and engagement; support post-event reporting and nurture handoff

Strategy & Operations

• Build and maintain an annual events calendar aligned to marketing campaigns and partnership activity
• Establish repeatable processes, playbooks, and templates for both event types
• Track and report on event performance: registrations, attendance, engagement, and pipeline influence
• Own events expense tracking — maintain accurate records across conferences, digital events, and associated costs (swag, print, shipping, on-site expenses)
• Provide regular reporting to leadership on event spend, ROI, and program health
• Collaborate closely with Marketing (HubSpot, content, paid) and Partnerships to ensure tight alignment
