• Design event strategies that support client acquisition and retention, brand awareness and revenue growth.

• Establish clear measurement frameworks and KPIs to evaluate event effectiveness, client engagement, pipeline influence and return on investment.

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, agency management, procurement and vendor negotiations — maintaining strong governance and financial discipline throughout.

• Use technology, data and attendee insights to continuously improve the client experience.

• Ensure flawless execution while meeting all regulatory, compliance and risk management standards across our global events calendar.

• Partner with internal communications, digital marketing and content teams to maximize the impact of every engagement — before, during and after the event.

Who You Are

The ideal candidate brings more than technical expertise — they bring a mindset and a way of working that sets them apart.

You’re a strategic thinker who knows how to connect experiential programs to business outcomes. You lead with purpose, inspire the people around you and take genuine pride in developing talent. You understand that every event is an opportunity to strengthen a relationship, and you bring that client-first perspective to everything you do.

You’re comfortable working in complex, global organizations — building consensus, navigating ambiguity and influencing at the most senior levels. You stay calm under pressure, you’re detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture, and you bring the kind of energy and creativity that turns great events into truly memorable experiences.

Most of all, you care about what we’re building at BNY Investments — and you’re passionate about helping us deepen our reputation as a trusted global investment partner.
