Harvey; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 115,000 - 172,000; Full time

Job summary

Harvey in San Francisco seeks an experienced events, content, or programming leader to own FORUM and other flagship conferences. You will shape executive narratives, curate speaker lineups, and supervise session design, deadlines, and cross‑functional collaboration.

The role blends editorial and execution work, balancing concept development with hands‑on management of dozens of speakers, timelines, and deliverables across geographies.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in events, content, or programming roles, ideally with exposure to flagship or high-visibility conferences.
• Strong project management skills, with a track record of running multiple concurrent workstreams for a high-visibility event with a hard date and a large speaker roster, without dropping details.
• Experience developing world-class content for large in-person events, including themes, session design, and speaker curation.
• Experience managing speakers directly: outreach, scheduling, rehearsals, and day-of support.
• A strong storyteller who can distill complex business and product priorities into narratives that resonate with senior stakeholders and attendees alike.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with a sharp eye for cutting jargon and filler from session copy and talk tracks.

Responsibilities

• Own the plan from first concept to final run-of-show, managing multiple concurrent workstreams against fixed event dates.
• Project manage the Harvey Product Keynote end to end, working with Product and Product Marketing to decide what gets showcased and how, and driving content, rehearsals, and approvals to deadline.
• Source, schedule, and manage [30+] speakers per event, from first outreach through rehearsal and day-of support, including shaping talking points and running prep calls.
• Build and maintain the trackers, playbooks, and run-of-show documents (session trackers, timelines) that let programming scale across editions and geographies.
• Curate the full agenda: session descriptions, breakout talk tracks, and content across multiple stages, making sure every session earns its place and ladders up to the event’s strategic goals.
• Build and maintain Harvey’s speaker bench: a living database of customers, prospects, and industry voices, with notes on topics, speaking strength, and relationship owners.
• Get to know our customer base closely, working with Customer Engagement and Customer Success to spot, recruit, and prepare customer speakers, and turn their work into on-stage content before anyone asks.
• Partner across Production, Marketing, Creative, and Enablement so content decisions translate cleanly into the live event experience.
• Analyze post-event data and feedback to inform content strategy, speaker selection, and format decisions for future editions.
• Give Leadership clear, organized updates on progress, risks, and open decisions.
