Converge Events produces executive conferences serving the financial services industry, with events focused on banking technology, credit unions, treasury, and governance, risk, and compliance.
We’re a growing, entrepreneurial company focused on producing high-quality conferences built around relevant content, strong practitioner audiences, and valuable sponsor participation.
As we continue to grow our conference portfolio, we’re looking for a motivated leader who wants to take ownership of key areas of the business and grow alongside the company.
The Director of Engagement & Operations will play a central role in the growth and development of Converge Events.
This position has three primary responsibilities:
The immediate priority is practitioner audience growth. This person will be responsible for developing and executing the strategies required to attract the right executives to each conference and achieve our practitioner attendance goals.
This is a strategic leadership role in an entrepreneurial company, but it is also a hands-on position. The successful candidate should be equally comfortable developing a strategy, building the process behind it, developing relationships, and personally executing when necessary.
Initially, the position will combine strategy with hands-on execution as the individual learns the business and takes ownership of key areas. As Converge grows, we expect the role to become increasingly focused on strategy, leadership, and broader company execution.
You’ll work directly with the Company Founder / Producer and collaborate closely with sales, marketing, and conference operations.
This is not a narrowly defined corporate position. We operate with a small team and are looking for someone who is comfortable taking ownership, solving problems, learning new things, and helping determine how we can operate and grow more effectively.
Own the strategy and process for building strong practitioner audiences across the Converge Events portfolio.
Responsibilities include:
Developing strong practitioner relationships is an important part of the audience growth strategy.
Webinars, virtual discussions, LinkedIn engagement, referrals, speaker relationships, partnerships, and other year-round engagement initiatives may be used to strengthen those relationships, expand the practitioner pipeline, and ultimately drive conference participation.
The primary objective remains clear: consistently attract the right practitioners to Converge Events conferences.
Lead speaker development and help shape conference content that reflects practitioner priorities and strengthens the value of attending each event.
Responsibilities include:
The Producer will remain involved in overall conference strategy and content direction, while this position will take increasing ownership of speaker development and agenda execution.
Audience development and content development should reinforce one another: the right topics and speakers help attract the right practitioners, while practitioner relationships and market feedback help produce stronger conference content.
Take increasing ownership of the systems, processes, and cross-functional initiatives required to operate and scale Converge Events.
Responsibilities may include:
A major objective of this position is to reduce dependency on the Founder by developing another leader within the organization who can take an objective, develop a plan, coordinate the necessary resources, and drive it through completion.
Converge operates with a small team and uses technology, automation, data, and AI to improve efficiency and extend what our team can accomplish.
The successful candidate does not need to be a software developer or arrive as an expert in every platform we use. They should, however, be technologically curious, comfortable learning new systems, and motivated to find better ways to work.
We are looking for someone who is willing to learn systems, troubleshoot problems, explore automation, and use technology and AI where they can meaningfully improve execution or create new opportunities.
Our technology environment includes:
Because Converge operates with a small team, this person will work across the organization rather than within a single department.
You will help:
The position may not initially include significant direct management responsibility. However, we are looking for someone capable of developing into a broader company leader as the organization expands.
A successful Director of Engagement & Operations will help Converge Events:
We are open to candidates from several backgrounds, including conferences, B2B media, financial services, audience development, marketing, business operations, and related industries.
Relevant experience may include:
We don’t expect candidates to check every box. We care more about motivation, judgment, ownership, adaptability, and demonstrated ability to produce results than experience with every individual system or responsibility.
We’re looking for someone who is:
This opportunity is particularly well suited for someone who wants more than a narrowly defined role and is excited about helping build a growing company.
We aren’t hiring simply to fill today’s responsibilities. As Converge grows, we expect this position to grow as well.
Initially, success will depend heavily on the individual’s ability to drive practitioner attendance, develop strong speaker relationships, contribute to compelling conference content, and take meaningful ownership of execution.
Over time, a successful person could take increasing responsibility for conference strategy, audience development, operations, team leadership, new initiatives, and broader company execution.
The long-term opportunity is for this individual to become one of the key leaders helping determine how Converge grows, what we build, and how the company operates.
For someone who wants to help build a company and have a meaningful influence on its future, we believe this can become a significant long-term leadership opportunity.
Converge Events offers a competitive compensation structure combining fixed compensation with performance-based incentives tied to the success and growth of our conferences.
The structure is designed to reward both strong execution and measurable impact, with the opportunity for compensation and responsibility to increase as the individual and company grow.
This role also offers a clear opportunity to develop into a broader leadership position within Converge Events based on performance, capabilities, and the continued growth of the company.
