Conference Director

What We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate has a proven track record of managing and planning live events, has intense innate curiosity, a passion for learning, and a desire to produce the best live events in the industry. The right candidate will enjoy managing multiple projects and stakeholders at a time, be highly organized and detail oriented, and provide clear communication with both internal and external teams.

This position is a unique opportunity to work with C-Suite level executives from thousands of member firms and companies in order to build and grow a truly game-changing community. We are looking for a highly motivated, personable, and organized Director to lead on multiple conferences and offsites throughout the year. This person will take the lead on planning and executing several live events for our members and sponsors - mainly smaller, multi-day offsites (50-70 people).

We are known for our live events, so this is an incredible opportunity for someone with event planning/management experience looking to work with an enthusiastic team on thoughtful events.

About The Suite

We build high-quality and highly-curated professional communities. We run three such communities today:

  • The L Suite, (which includes our flagship network TechGC), for General Counsels & CLOs of high-growth private companies, public companies, and investment funds.

  • The F Suite, for CFOs of high-growth private companies and venture funds.

  • The E Suite, for CEOs of high-growth private companies.

Each of our communities is unique, but they are all powered by our custom-built platform which our members like to call “the Braintrust.”

We currently have 4,800+ paid members across our communities, representing C-Suite executives from many of today’s leading tech companies (e.g., Airbnb, Slack, Coinbase, Uber, Notion, Bolt, Figma, Airtable, Dropbox, etc.) and venture funds (e.g., a16z, Softbank, Tiger, Accel, Thrive, Battery Ventures, FirstMark, etc.).

On the other side of our communities, we have built deep partnerships with the top law firms (e.g., Latham, Cooley, WSGR, Fenwick, Goodwin, S&C, Davis Polk, etc.), legal/fintech vendors (e.g., Ironclad, LinkSquares, DataGrail, Lawtrades, Morgan Stanley at Work, NPM, SpendFlo, etc.), and professional service providers (e.g., Aon, Deloitte, EY, Franklin Square Group, Marsh, Newfront, etc.) that support these executives. These partners engage with our members as thought leaders and valued advisors/resources, and we foster a unique environment where the two sides of our ecosystem can connect through targeted education, networking, and support.

Our mission is to help today’s leaders make better and faster decisions that propel their companies forward. One of the core ways we are able to do that is by connecting our members to the right advisors/tools at the right time.

We are a well-funded and rapidly scaling startup with a high-impact team of 55+ full-time employees.
