Head of Online Events

Head Of Online Events

Inspira Education Group is one of the fastest-growing edtech startups in the US. We started with a simple mission to democratize access to high-quality coaching so that every student in the world has an equal opportunity to access the best opportunities.

As the world's leading network of top admissions coaches in medical, legal, business, and college studies, we're building software and services in one place—disrupting long-entrenched application processes with products and experiences that strive to provide an equal platform for candidates from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

As one of the fastest-growing edtech firms in the world, we are backed by some of the leading venture capital firms and investors in the world, including Zeev Ventures, Quiet Capital, Craft Ventures and Jeff Fluhr (Founder of Stubhub).

The Role

Inspira Education Group is searching for a Head of Online Events to build and scale one of the most powerful growth engines in our company. This is not a "run a few webinars" role—this is your chance to architect a category-defining events machine that shapes how tens of thousands of students and parents experience our brand.

You'll own the entire ecosystem—from creative vision and content strategy to flawless production, promotion, measurement, and team building.

For the first 2–3 months, you'll be in the cockpit yourself: hosting events, crafting decks, talking to consultants, learning our audience inside out, and building the operational backbone. Then you'll shift into building a team and scaling the volume, sophistication, and impact of our events across multiple brands.

If you're a rare hybrid—a strategist with creative instincts, a designer with operational rigor, and a marketer who lives and breathes KPIs—this is your playground. You'll get to be scrappy at the start, then build a well-oiled machine that drives massive, measurable results.

This is an in-person role requiring 5 days/week in our NYC office (Gramercy).
