The Information is a fast-growing media startup in the heart of downtown San Francisco. Politico called us "a well respected, scoopy journalism outfit and a must-read for many global business elites." Fortune, Vanity Fair and Digiday have also featured our business as an innovator in media. We’re a must-read for the most important people in technology and finance and are building a one-of-a-kind community of subscribers.
The Information is looking for a Senior Event & Marketing Coordinator. The right candidate will have excellent project management skills, at least four years of event experience, and the ability to work independently and think about ways to continually grow our subscriber base through our proprietary events, which include subscriber networking events and our Subscriber Summits. Working with our Director of Events, you’ll help The Information manage its event portfolio in a strategic and scalable way.
The ideal candidate will be smart, high energy, and passionate about what we do. This role is perfect for someone who has some event experience, but wishes to take that experience to the next level with exposure to high quality events featuring A-List speakers and sponsors. Our events are exclusive ones that are limited to our subscribers only. This is not your typical tradeshow or conference event gig—our events are small and very curated.
You’ll be part of a team that builds high demand events for our subscribers. This role will involve hands-on management of a variety of types of events—from private dinners to subscriber networking events, to one-day Summits. The ideal candidate is a team player who works collaboratively with both external partners and internal teams.
In addition, you’ll work on the event marketing efforts surrounding our events—helping craft email marketing campaigns, social media graphics, event decks, signage, and other assets supporting our overall event program.

- Manage monthly subscriber conference calls.
- Plan and manage monthly team birthday celebrations, team anniversaries & activities.
- Monitor and respond to subscriber inquiries via email, social media & Slack about our events on a daily basis.
- You’ll also be responsible for post-event analysis and support, including posting photos/videos after events to our social media channels and event website, as well as conducting post-event reporting, subscriber list reconciliation and budgeting with the Director of Events.
- You’ll also support the Director of Events, working closely on the overall event strategy for both proprietary events as well as partner-led events. This is an explosive time for growth for the events team, with 2020 looking to be our biggest year for events.
