Event Senior Manager

at Rain Instant Pay 

Remote, US

Rain is the fastest-growing earned wage access (EWA) fintech in the U.S., serving 3.5 million employees and backed by top investors like QED and Prosus. We’ve raised nearly $400M in funding—including the largest Series A in fintech history—and recently closed our Series B to fuel our next stage of hypergrowth.

As our Event Senior Manager, you will lead a strategic and highly visible motion that is central to our go-to-market strategy. While we have spent the last 12 months successfully initiating our presence at large conferences and bespoke events, we are now looking for a dedicated leader to elevate and scale this function to the next level. You will be responsible for shifting our market narrative from a point-solution to a comprehensive financial health platform, ensuring we deliver "wow" experiences that engage our enterprise prospects and drive meaningful business growth.

What you'll do

• Lead and scale a high-performing events team of three, transitioning from an early-stage motion into a sophisticated, programmatic engine that drives predictable pipeline.
• Design a multi-tiered event strategy tailored to our customer segments, ranging from high-volume presence at major HR tech conferences to bespoke, "white-glove" experiences for Strategic and Large Enterprise accounts (10k+ employees).
• Own the creative narrative for all physical activations, ensuring our shift from "Earned Wage Access" to a "Financial Health" platform is woven into every touchpoint.
• Partner with Sales and Channel leadership to ensure event strategies support our HCM and payroll partners (ADP, Workday, etc.) and drive both employer adoption and employee utilization.
• Architect "wow" experiences that break through the noise of the HR tech space, focusing on high-impact engagement for C-suite and VP-level prospects.
• Manage the full events P&L, meticulously tracking budget allocation and establishing a clear framework for measuring Event-Sourced and Event-Influenced pipeline.
• Standardize event operations by building a library of repeatable playbooks, vendor relationships, and tech workflows that allow the team to execute flawlessly at scale.
• Drive cross-functional synergy between Marketing, Sales, and Product to ensure event content is relevant, leads are followed up on instantly, and product updates are showcased effectively.
• Analyze and iterate on event performance, using data-driven insights to sunset underperforming tactics and double down on high-ROI activities.
• Serve as a visible leader within the GTM team, advocating for the events function in executive discussions and contributing to the overall brand strategy.

Who you are

• 7+ years of experience in event management, with at least 3 years in a leadership or management role
• Proven track record of managing and developing high-performing teams
• Strong strategic thinking abilities with experience translating business objectives into creative event concepts
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships across all levels of an organization
• Experience managing event budgets and demonstrating ROI

• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to engage with executive leadership
• Creative mindset with the ability to balance innovation with practical execution
• Experience with product launches, partner events, or corporate conferences is a plus
