Job Description

The Opportunity: We are representing an Am Law 100 global firm in their search for a sophisticated Events Manager. This is not just a logistics role; it is a high-visibility position focused on designing and executing premier, brand-aligned experiences for high-profile clients and firm leadership. If you are an event strategist who thrives in the refined environment of professional services and possesses a "flawless execution" mindset, we invite you to apply.

The Role:

• Strategic Execution: Lead the end-to-end planning of high-stakes client-facing events, including venue selection, contract negotiation, and bespoke catering.

• Business Partnership: Collaborate closely with Firm Leadership and Business Development teams to ensure event strategy aligns with global business goals and maximizes ROI.

• Vendor Diplomacy: Build and leverage an elite network of local and national vendors, venues, and consultants to optimize value and quality.

• Data-Driven Management: Oversee complex invitation and attendee data within CRM systems, managing budgets and providing post-event reporting to firm stakeholders.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience (Strict Requirement): Minimum of 7+ years of event planning experience specifically within a Professional Services environment (Legal, Big Four, or Management Consulting).

• Career Stability: A proven track record of longevity in previous roles; our client is looking for a dedicated professional, not a "jumpy" background.

• Executive Presence: Exceptional confidence and professionalism when interacting with Senior Partners, Executives, and high-net-worth clients.

• Technical Savvy: Proficiency with registration platforms, CRM tools, and complex budget management.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree required; CMP or CSEP certifications are a plus.
