🏢 About FundMiner

FundMiner is a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup that transforms fund management and reporting for fundraising organizations. As a 2023 Techstars company with VC backing, it offers the excitement of a high-growth startup combined with a mission-driven focus on helping nonprofits, healthcare, and higher education measure and maximize their impact.

About This Role

As Events Manager, you will own the full conference calendar across three key sectors, coordinating everything from booth design to on-site execution. This role is critical to FundMiner's brand visibility and lead generation, making it a high-impact position where your organizational skills directly contribute to revenue growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with checking HubSpot for new leads from a recent webinar, then coordinating with the marketing team on booth design for an upcoming conference. Afternoons could involve researching new event opportunities, updating the conference calendar, and hopping on a Zoom call with a vendor to finalize shipping logistics. The role blends strategic planning with hands-on execution, all from a remote setting.
