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 following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:

• 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.
