Product Marketing, Events Manager

The Role

Farther is looking for an experienced, hands-on Events Manager to build and own our events function from the ground up. This is a foundational hire — you'll be responsible for the strategy and execution of all Farther events, from our high-impact Discovery Day recruiting experiences to industry conferences, client events, and webinars.

This role requires someone who can think strategically about how events drive business results while also rolling up their sleeves to manage every detail of execution. You'll work cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Advisor Marketing, and leadership to deliver polished, high-quality experiences that support advisor growth, client engagement, and brand visibility — all while proving ROI and building the case for future investment in events.

Your Impact

• Own end-to-end strategy and execution of Discovery Days across New York and Dallas, directing the Sales Coordinator remotely while maintaining strategic control of format, messaging, and experience
• Develop new event formats including scaled-down "Discovery Days in a Box" for more frequent, flexible touchpoints
• Lead Farther's presence at industry conferences, managing sponsorship activation, logistics, and on-site coordination
• Stand up and manage a monthly webinar series and drive speaker placement at industry events and panels
• Build and manage a client events program that supports advisor marketing and strengthens advisor engagement
• Own all event logistics — venue sourcing, vendor management, contracts, catering, AV, registration, shipping, and on-site execution — delivering premium experiences on lean budgets
• Build the event technology stack (Cvent or similar) and track event ROI including AUM attribution and prospect conversion
• Own merch strategy and Farther store management
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Advisor Marketing, Sponsorships, and Leadership to ensure events support business goals and reflect Farther's brand

The Ideal Match

• 7+ years of event management experience
• Proven experience owning both in-person and virtual events end-to-end (financial services or tech-specific preferred). 
• Finance, fintech, or financial services event experience — understanding of industry conferences, compliance considerations, and audience expectations is critical
• Strong backbone and leadership presence — able to direct coordinators, push back on stakeholders, and maintain strategic control remotely
• Hands-on experience with event management systems and tools (e.g., registration platforms, CRM integrations, virtual event platforms, and on-site check-in tools).
• Strong vendor, venue, and contract management experience.
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to juggle many moving parts, priorities, and stakeholders at once.
• Calm, confident problem-solver who thrives under pressure.
• Strong communication and project management skills.
• Willingness to travel frequently.
• Self-starter with a proactive, “go-getter” mindset who takes pride in execution.

• Cvent / event technology platforms
