• Lead the strategy, planning, and execution of Grayscale's event presence—including hosted experiences (such as our recurring Crypto Connects series), strategic sponsorships, and participation at industry conferences
• Align event programming with sales goals and marketing campaigns to drive engagement, deepen relationships, and accelerate pipeline growth
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Channel Marketing, Product, and Brand to deliver audience-specific experiences across advisor, institutional, and partner segments
• Oversee all aspects of event delivery—from agenda and venue through event logistics (for example: catering, registration/RSVP, swag, décor, and other day-of details), speaker coordination, format design, and post-event engagement
• Manage the execution of virtual and hybrid events, selecting platforms and designing digital-first experiences that scale reach and impact
• Own event analytics: define KPIs, track performance, forecast budgets, and report on ROI and strategic outcomes
• Manage agency and vendor relationships, ensuring seamless execution, cost-efficiency, and brand consistency
• Serve as the on-site lead at key events—including booth presence and experiential activations at major industry conferences—and act as an internal advocate for innovation in event formats, attendee experience, and technology adoption

Prior Experience/Requirements

• 10-15 years of experience leading strategic event, experiential, or field marketing programs, preferably in financial services, fintech, asset management, or high-growth sectors—or fashion-caliber event production (e.g., major fashion week shows) for candidates without a finserv background
• Demonstrated success building and delivering multiformat event strategies, including virtual, hybrid, and in-person experiences
• Detail-oriented with high standards for quality, brand consistency, and attendee experience; adept at immersive programming and experiential design
• Proven leadership experience in managing vendors and partners, from selecting best-in-class partners to negotiating terms and contracts to coordinating vendors on-site
• A genuine curiosity about crypto, digital assets, or disruptive, high-growth industries is a plus, though not required
