Global Events Manager

Endeavor•New York, NY

6d•$90,000 - $100,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Global Events team at Endeavor designs and delivers exceptional event experiences that reflect Endeavor’s mission and strengthen its value proposition to entrepreneurs, mentors, and stakeholders worldwide. Events include International Selection Panels, internal and external retreats, and global gatherings across Endeavor’s 50+ countries. As Events Manager, you will lead end-to-end logistics and operational planning of 4-6 international events annually, working in partnership with a Content Lead from another team within Endeavor, who drives program elements. No two events run the same way: each one unfolds in a different country across our global network, with different local teams, vendors, and cultural nuances. You’ll play a key role in bringing structure, coordination, and execution rigor to these dynamic environments, embracing the opportunity to adapt and deliver high-level experiences that are true to Endeavor's brand. Beyond execution, you will play an active role in building the systems, documentation, and workflows that make the global events team more efficient and scalable over time.

Requirements

3–5 years of events management experience: You have a proven track record of delivering successful, customer-focused event experiences.
Experience in at least one role where you owned the full event and vendor relationships end-to-end managing multiple vendors, negotiating contracts, and coordinating internal staff to deliver events on time and within budget.
Well-versed in project management tools and leveraging AI tools to build more efficient workflows.
Can build and maintain detailed timelines, track dependencies, and keep multiple workstreams on schedule without losing detail.
Communicate clearly, with strong interpersonal skills and a customer service mindset.
Comfortable coordinating across global and remote teams, working with senior-level stakeholders, and representing the organization to vendors and external partners.
Resourceful, flexible, and able to navigate last-minute changes without losing composure.
Thrive in fast-paced environments and can establish priorities when demands compete.
Drive your own workload autonomously, and you're a genuine team player who brings strong problem-solving skills to cross-functional coordination.
A self-starter who thrives in collaborative, mission-driven environments.
Think carefully about how events feel, not just how they run, and you're always looking for ways to elevate the experience.
Must be based in the New York area, eligible to live and work in the United States, and willing to travel internationally to support events abroad.
Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of application. Endeavor is unable to sponsor or transfer employment visas for this role.
