Overview and Responsibilities:

We’re looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed Events Manager to help us design and deliver unforgettable experiences for our subscribers. Reporting to the Head of Community & Events, you’ll be the operational backbone of our live programming—owning logistics, systems, vendor relationships, and post-event reporting.

This is a fast moving, mission-driven role. The right candidate is resourceful, thrives in startup culture, and believes ideas deserve a stage.

Candidates who include a brief cover letter sharing what they love about The Free Press—or what makes this community unique—will receive priority consideration.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Plan and execute events from start to finish, from venue and A/V to travel, seating, and run-of-show

Build and maintain solid vendor and venue relationships so The Free Press has a reliable bench for the future

Design thoughtful experiences for VIPs and sponsors—perks, signage, custom touches—while ensuring the event shines for every guest

Keep contact lists, vendor info, and event records organized and up to date in our CRM

Manage budgets, track expenses, and negotiate contracts

Produce post-event recap decks with photos, data, and lessons learned to improve programming and support sponsorships

Make real-time decisions on-site when plans change, keeping events running smoothly

Collaborate closely with editorial, partnerships, and marketing teams to ensure alignment and impact

Basic Qualifications:

5+ years of event or project management experience (media, culture, or nonprofit preferred)

Willingness to travel (10–20%)

Availability for evening and weekend work during events.

Demonstrated ability to run events end-to-end, from intimate salons to 1,000+ person gatherings

Additional Qualifications:

Skilled in project management tools (Asana, Airtable, or similar)

Comfortable with ticketing platforms and CRM systems

Strong negotiation skills and vendor management experience

Financial literacy: ability to manage budgets and weigh trade-o

You thrive in startup culture: fast-moving, resourceful, and unafraid of hard work

You’re mission-driven: ideally already a Free Presser, or deeply aligned with our values

You love systems and organization—keeping lists, updating CRMs, building processes—but you also know when to pivot

You’re cool under pressure and at ease in live-event unpredictability

You believe every detail matters—from the name card fonts to the guest experience
