Events Manager

About the Role

As our Events Manager, you will own the strategy and execution of the field marketing program at the center of how we grow our provider network and engage influential leaders in the industry. Forus gives physicians the ability to prescribe the treatments their patients actually need. Getting that message in front of the right audiences, at the right moments, requires an events program that is as commercially sharp as it is flawlessly executed.

You will lead a portfolio spanning industry conferences, tradeshows, owned experiences, and virtual programs, and you’ll decide how we show up and define success through budgeting, vendor management, audience strategy, onsite delivery, and performance reporting. You will partner closely with sales, marketing, and clinical teams to turn events into a predictable, measurable growth channel.

This is a demanding role with a high level of autonomy, visibility, and responsibility. You will be expected to “act like an owner,” exercise sound judgment, and commit yourself to Forus’ success. If you are low-ego, commercially minded, and excited about intense, impactful work that drives both company growth and accelerated career progression, we want to hear from you.

If You Join, You Will

• Own execution of our presence at industry tradeshows and conferences - booth configuration, collateral, shipping, and lead capture across all active events
• Build and maintain run-of-show documents, timelines, and checklists that keep every stakeholder aligned
• Be on the ground at key events to keep execution on track and solve problems in real time
• Coordinate internal attendee logistics - travel, staffing, and materials - across sales, marketing, and clinical teams
• Translate the Forus brand into memorable, high-quality experiences through thoughtful messaging, collateral, booth design, programming, and activations
• Own event budgets, forecasts, contracts, and vendor relationships; negotiate scopes and make tradeoffs that raise quality while improving efficiency
• Build scalable playbooks, planning systems, and a trusted vendor network while serving as the on-the-ground lead who keeps complex programs moving and solves problems in real time

We’ll Be Most Excited If You Have

• 3+ years of experience in events, conference logistics, hospitality, or operations
• A track record of leading a portfolio of conferences, tradeshows, and owned experiences end to end, and not just supporting individual logistics
• Strong cross-functional communication skills - comfortable coordinating vendors, internal teams, and conference organizers
• A startup mentality: resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable in an environment where priorities shift
• Track record of moving quickly, finding shortcuts, and going to unreasonable lengths to deliver on goals
• High NPS with your former teammates

Working with US

Forus is based in New York, with our full team working out of a beautiful and spacious office in SoHo.

We run as a high-trust environment with high autonomy, which requires that everyone is fully competent and operates in line with our principles:

• Do the math. Be rigorous, assume nothing. Break problems down and reason from the ground up. Stay open to changing your mind.
• Resourceful optimism. Assume problems are solvable. Be audacious. Resist false constraints and push beyond the obvious before deciding.
• Spit it out. Speak directly, invite critique, avoid equivocation. We want right answers, not comfortable ones. All killer, no filler.
• Raise the bar. Hold a high standard for your pace and execution, and elevate the performance of the team around you. Mamba mentality.
• Fight for users. Start with users’ realities, not ours. Resist optimizing for internal convenience over user outcomes.

Individual pay decisions are ultimately based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, skillset, geography, and balancing internal equity.
