Talent Events Manager

We’re looking for a Talent Events Manager to lead the planning, execution, and management of TRM’s talent events portfolio in 2026 and beyond. This role will be the operational driver behind 12+ candidate-facing experiences, ranging from university recruiting and office meetups to happy hours and conferences.

You’ll own logistics end-to-end—from vendor coordination and communication planning to onsite execution and post-event retrospectives. You’ll partner closely with recruiters, marketers, and hiring teams to make sure every event leaves a lasting impression, contributes to hiring goals, and strengthens TRM’s position in the market.

The impact you will have:

• Own end-to-end project management for 12+ in-person events per year
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure each event has clear goals, messaging, and follow-through
• Coordinate venues, vendors, materials, and run-of-show logistics
• Maintain organized tracking systems for invites, RSVPs, budgets, timelines, and outcomes
• Attend and represent TRM at key events when needed
• Conduct post-event debriefs to identify areas of improvement
• Track key metrics such as attendance, candidate engagement, and hires

What we’re looking for:

• 2+ years experience in event planning, preferably at early-stage, faced paced startups
• Demonstrated ownership of logistics-heavy initiatives
• Excellent project management and communication skills
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities and workstreams with clarity
• Strong attention to detail and task tracking discipline
• High accountability and follow-through
• Travel Requirement: This role requires travel up to 25% of the year (about 1 week per month) to attend and manage in-person events, including university recruiting, office meetups, and industry gatherings. Candidates must be able and willing to travel as needed for event execution.
• Bonus:
  • Familiarity with data/analytics tools to support reporting and events tracking
  • Experience planning/executing talent events such as University Recruiting, Tech Talks, etc

About the Team:

We’re a remote, async-first Talent team with a bias toward action and a deep belief in craft. The team blends senior and mid-level members who value clarity, systems-thinking, and measurable impact. Our rhythms include weekly hiring syncs, bi-weekly team meetings, and async updates via Notion and Slack. You’ll find a strong documentation culture, lots of feedback, and a team that’s always refining the candidate experience.

Operating rhythms:

• Work hours: Minimum 4-hour overlap with PST business hours
• Communication: async-first with synchronous check-ins as needed

• Create the Event Playbook within 24 hours of kickoff: Within 24 hours of receiving go-ahead and core details, you’ll create a complete event playbook in Notion including timeline, run-of-show, owners, location, tracking, links, and FAQs. Internal stakeholders should have everything they need at their fingertips—no follow-ups required.
• 3 week turnaround from event approval to launch: Once an event is greenlit, the first planning doc (venue/vendor leads, timeline, invite draft) is expected within 72 hours. We don’t wait for “perfect” to start—early V1s help everyone move faster.
• Real-time iteration from event feedback: If an event underperforms or a vendor misses expectations, we don’t wait for the quarter to end. Feedback is shared within 48 hours, and we implement changes for the next event immediately.
• Async updates beat meetings: Rather than waiting for sync meetings, this role is expected to share short Looms or written updates proactively—ensuring stakeholders stay aligned without creating bottlenecks.

• The estimated base salary range for this role is $100,000 - $140,000.
• Additionally, this role may be eligible to participate in TRM’s equity plan.
