Pelago Health is seeking a Senior Manager of Events to own the strategy and execution of the company's B2B event portfolio and select corporate experiences. This is a hands-on, highly visible role that connects event investments to commercial priorities while creating thoughtful experiences for customers and prospects.
You will own the annual event calendar and end-to-end execution of Pelago's B2B events, including priority industry conferences and hosted customer and prospect experiences. You'll lead select corporate programs, including Pelago's Client Advisory Board and President's Club, in close partnership with executive and cross-functional stakeholders. Your responsibilities include translating commercial goals into clear event objectives, audience strategies, activation plans, and measurable success criteria.
You will manage event budgets, forecasts, contracts, vendors, venues, production partners, and timelines with strong financial discipline. You'll partner with Sales, Partnerships, Client Success, Content, Brand, and Marketing Operations to develop pre-event promotion, onsite engagement, executive participation, and timely post-event follow-up. Creating high-quality experiences that reflect the Pelago brand across booths, programming, hospitality, signage, collateral, and attendee communications is essential.
Additional responsibilities include tracking and reporting event performance (engagement, pipeline influence, follow-up execution), co-owning Pelago's swag program and inventory management, building repeatable processes and playbooks, and staying close to execution to deliver polished, well-run experiences.
This is a hybrid role requiring 4 days per week in the NYC office. Regular travel is required for conferences, customer-facing programs, and company events, including occasional evening or weekend commitments (up to 25% travel within the United States).

- 7+ years of experience leading events, field marketing, experiential marketing, or closely related function, with meaningful ownership of B2B events
- Track record of independently managing complex events from strategy and budgeting through onsite delivery and post-event measurement
- Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, including confidence partnering with senior executives, sales leaders, customers, and external vendors
- Sound judgment, high attention to detail, and calm, resourceful approach when plans change
- Experience using event and marketing technology to support registration, engagement, lead capture, follow-up, and reporting
- Ability to connect event activity to commercial outcomes and use performance data to improve the portfolio
- Preferred: Experience in healthcare, benefits, digital health, or another complex B2B industry
- Willingness and ability to travel regularly within the United States up to 25% of the time
- Genuine curiosity about emerging technologies, including AI, and proactive mindset toward exploring how they can enhance work and innovation
