We connect growth-minded companies with high-impact professionals who drive real results. Whether you're building a team or building a career, our approach is precise, people-first, and built for long-term success.
We don’t do buzzwords—we do outcomes.
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.
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.
Why Join This Firm?
Prestige: Join one of the most respected names in the legal industry.
Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a balanced 3-day on-site schedule in a state-of-the-art NYC office.
Competitive Compensation: Base salary of $120,000 – $160,000 plus full premium benefits.
