Essential Functions & Responsibilities

Conferences & In-Person Events

• Own FundMiner's full conference calendar — research, evaluate, and manage proposals and submissions for relevant industry events across Higher Ed, Healthcare Philanthropy, and Nonprofit/Community Foundation sectors
• Coordinate all pre-event logistics: booth design and setup, branded merchandise and swag sourcing, print materials, and shipping coordination

• Manage event coordination from scheduling through post-event follow-up using Livestorm and HubSpot
• Drive registration, attendance, and engagement; support post-event reporting and nurture handoff

Strategy & Operations

• Build and maintain an annual events calendar aligned to marketing campaigns and partnership activity
• Establish repeatable processes, playbooks, and templates for both event types
• Track and report on event performance: registrations, attendance, engagement, and pipeline influence
• Own events expense tracking — maintain accurate records across conferences, digital events, and associated costs (swag, print, shipping, on-site expenses)
• Provide regular reporting to leadership on event spend, ROI, and program health
• Collaborate closely with Marketing (HubSpot, content, paid) and Partnerships to ensure tight alignment
