Event Director

Securitize

Securitize is a leader in real-world asset tokenization, providing institutional-grade infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and decentralized finance

Art Director18 days ago

Role Description Securitize is seeking a Director of Events to own the full spectrum of our event strategy — from flagship owned conferences to executive roundtables, investor summits, and our presence at the industry's most important third-party stages. This is a builder role: you will establish the event function as a strategic growth channel for Securitize, directly supporting institutional sales, issuer origination, and brand positioning at the intersection of traditional finance and tokenized real-world assets. The ideal candidate has done this before — not just managed logistics, but conceived, owned, and produced a company's signature event from the ground up. You know what it takes to build an event brand that the market looks forward to, and you have the operational rigor to execute without missing a detail. Responsibilities - Owned events & flagship programming. - Design, build, and produce Securitize's owned portfolio: an annual flagship conference, investor summits, and executive roundtables aimed at institutional allocators, asset managers, and issuers. - Own the full lifecycle, from concept and positioning through venue, speaker acquisition, agenda, attendee experience, on-site execution, and follow-through. - Develop a distinct event brand that reinforces Securitize as the leading infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets. - Build relationships with high-profile speakers and moderators across finance, digital assets, and regulatory circles. - Third-party & industry stages. - Own Securitize's presence at key events: Consensus, DC Fintech Week, Milken, Davos-adjacent gatherings, IMN, SFNet, and others. - Set sponsorship strategy and allocate budget against real ROI. - Prep executives, align messaging, and drive follow-up for every speaking engagement. - Pipeline & revenue alignment. - Partner with Capital Markets, Institutional Sales, and Marketing to tie every program to pipeline, issuer origination, and investor AUM growth. - Design invitation and acquisition strategies for qualified institutional investors, asset managers, family offices, and prospective issuers. - Build pre- and post-event workflows with CRM and sales ops. - Operations & team. - Own the events budget with full P&L accountability. - Negotiate vendors, venues, and production partners. - Build and manage a small internal team and agency relationships. - Establish playbooks and post-mortems to continuously improve. Qualifications - 8+ years in event management, with 3+ at a senior or director level. - A track record across both ends of the spectrum: 500+ attendee flagships and intimate C-suite roundtables. - Outstanding relationship skills, recruiting and retaining senior speakers, sponsors, and high-profile attendees. - A highly organized, detail-obsessed operating style that runs multiple programs at once without dropping a thread. Requirements - You've built an event brand, not just executed someone else's. - You understand the audience and the stakes in financial services, fintech, capital markets, or institutional investment. - You connect events to outcomes and can manage six-figure budgets. - You're a player-coach, operating strategically with senior leadership while managing details. Nice to have - Experience producing events at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, blockchain, or RWA tokenization. - Existing relationships in institutional finance communities: prime brokerage, asset management, family offices, wealth management. - Experience with hybrid and virtual formats alongside in-person programming. - Familiarity with event tech (Cvent, Splash, Hopin, or similar) and CRM/marketing-automation integration. Benefits - Flexible Paid Time Off – Promoting a healthy work-life balance. - Equity Grant Opportunities – Share in the success and future growth of the company. - Remote Work Flexibility – Work from anywhere while staying connected with a dynamic and collaborative team. - Comprehensive Insurance Coverage – Employer-paid Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits for you and your family. - 401(k) Retirement Plan – Secure your financial future with employer-sponsored savings.
