More About the Role at Blackbird 🧐🧐
Blackbird is looking to hire an Events Coordinator to help us maintain a high level of experience at our events. We are big believers in Danny Meyer’s concept of ‘[enlightened hospitality](https://www.ushg.com/news-item/enlightened-hospitality/)’
- so much so that it’s become one of our core Blackbird [operating principles](https://blackbird.vc/blog/defining-your-culture-how-we-created-blackbirds-operating-principles#:~:text=We%20encourage%20an%20ownership%20mentality,Blackbird%20is%20yours%20to%20build.).
Having hospitality at the heart of everything we do includes an obsession with creating great experiences for all our stakeholders
- crafting peak moments and a feeling of community for them at each Blackbird event.
We are looking for someone who is an execution machine, and who thrives on the energy and the chaos of multiple moving parts when organising events. Someone who can pull the bigger picture into focus with project management and creative direction, but also be deep in the weeds when it comes to the on-the-ground execution of each event. Someone who can do all of this while juggling multiple events at the same time.
**Responsibilities** The Events Coordinator will be covering a Parental Leave, working most closely with our Portfolio Community Manager to manage the execution of stacked calendar of events to an excellent standard and in the Blackbird style. This will include: Founder and Operator Events:** We believe founders are the best people to help other founders and so we’re always looking to drive founder-to-founder connections through our events. This includes setting up curated dinners and casual lunches, fun outdoor gatherings, larger gatherings with speakers, and securing tickets and creating an itinerary for events around town.
Our calendar of events spans multiple cities
- including internationally.
Flagship founder events:** We host 2 flagship events each year: an annual founder retreat and A 3-day hotel takeover around Sunrise Festiva. You will be responsible for executing all aspects of these events including runsheets, hotel bookings, transfers, dinners, activities, branding, and merchandise. LP Day**: Our annual LP day is a key experience for those who invest in Blackbird funds.
You will be responsible for project managing an event for up to 150 investors including pre-event communications, catering, run sheets and managing staff on the day.
