Kastle Events and Experiences Lead responsible for owning and executing Kastle’s global events program. Creates memorable experiences for senior banking executives and manages event logistics and outcomes.
Responsibilities
Kastle will run 50+ events across North America in 2027. We’re looking for an Events & Experiences Lead to own the program and make every event exceptional.
You’ll build experiences that senior banking and lending executives make time for, remember, and tell their peers about. From a private dinner for twelve to a major industry conference, you’ll own the idea, the audience, the execution, and the results.
You’ll work directly with our founders, sales team, and customers. This is a hands-on role for someone with excellent taste, operational discipline, and the energy to run an ambitious international calendar.
Own the global events calendar. Decide where we show up, what we host, and how each event supports our target accounts and markets. Manage overlapping schedules, budgets, and deadlines across regions.
Create experiences worth attending. Develop executive dinners, customer gatherings, roadshows, conference activations, and distinctive experiences that give people a compelling reason to join us.
Get the right people in the room. Partner with sales on account lists, personal invitations, outreach, and meeting bookings. Own registration and attendance.
Set the quality bar. Make thoughtful choices about venues, food, programming, design, and hospitality. Carry that standard through invitations, arrival, introductions, and departure.
Make customers central to the experience. Bring customers and prospects together for honest conversations. Prepare customer speakers and create space for people to learn from one another.
Run production from start to finish. Source venues, negotiate vendor agreements, manage agencies and local crews, coordinate shipping and travel, and own on-site execution.
Prepare for everything. Build detailed event schedules, brief every team member, rehearse presentations and demos, and have workable backup plans. Stay calm and make decisions when circumstances change.
Turn events into business. Agree on goals and follow-up owners before each event. Track target-account attendance, qualified meetings, opportunities created, deal progression, and spend.
Build a program that scales. Create repeatable formats, reliable vendor relationships, and clear operating processes. Review every event and use what you learn to improve the next one.
