About the Role

Financial advisors across the U.S. have partnered with Altruist to reduce costs, save time, grow their business, and provide better outcomes for their clients. Our mission is to make financial advice better, more affordable, and accessible to everyone — but we can't do it alone. We're seeking exceptional talent to join our team. The company values kindness, brilliance, and grit, fostering a culture of understanding, humility, ownership, and resilience. Altruist is entering a transformative phase of growth and is looking for a Director of Event Marketing to lead strategic and operational aspects of their event programs, both in-person and virtual, to engage audiences, build brand affinity, and drive pipeline impact.

Key Responsibilities

Build and lead a high-velocity in-person and virtual events function, owning strategy and execution that align with go-to-market priorities, drive brand visibility, generate revenue through ticket sales and sponsorships, and deliver measurable ROI.
Strategically determine where the company shows up (and where it doesn't), ensuring every event supports business goals and is tailored to the ideal customer profile.
Lead team in the end-to-end planning and execution of events—including the flagship user conference, regional hosted events, virtual programs, and industry tradeshows—overseeing budgets, timelines, logistics, vendor management, on-site production, and promotion and post-event follow-up.
Travel as needed to ensure flawless event execution.
Craft impactful event programming with Content and Product Marketing teams that delivers thought leadership, showcases product innovation, and builds community through high-value content.
Manage the full event marketing lifecycle, working cross-functionally with Growth, Creative, and Content teams to drive pre-event promotion, in-event engagement, and post-event follow-up and lead capture.
Define and track KPIs to measure pipeline impact, engagement, and ROI, using insights to optimize future programs.
Refine and scale event processes and playbooks to ensure operational consistency, efficiency, and high-quality execution across all event formats.
Manage and evolve the event tech stack to support an AI-first, data-driven approach, overseeing external agencies and production partners to ensure scalability, brand alignment, and strong ROI.

Requirements

10+ years of experience leading high-impact events in a B2B environment, with proven ability to drive pipeline, revenue, and brand visibility.
Experience managing complex event portfolios—from flagship conferences to executive programs—and delivering them flawlessly under pressure.
Strong track record of managing and optimizing large-scale event budgets while achieving or exceeding ROI targets.
Excellent project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple deadlines, teams, and priorities without sacrificing quality.
