Job description

Role based in New York, NY (Hybrid)

CREO is a NYC-headquartered not-for-profit with a mission to mobilize and catalyze high-impact capital to drive the necessary transition to a low-carbon, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.

To achieve our mission, CREO works with a large ecosystem of global stakeholders, including Members (wealth owners, family offices, and family enterprises), Affiliate Members (select institutional and corporate investors), and Partners (aligned investors such as pension funds, university endowments, or private equity; government; not-for-profit organizations; and academia).

We facilitate investment in sustainability by helping large asset owners and our membership community to build knowledge and confidence via shared insights, research, and programming that focuses on the question of 'how' to invest in the decarbonization transition.

CREO seeks a collaborative and detail-oriented project manager and event operations professional for the role of Senior Manager, Events & Programs. This role will be responsible for planning and executing CREO’s global programming, including virtual sessions and in-person convenings. The ideal candidate brings strong operational instincts, end-to-end event management experience, and a proven ability to coordinate across time zones, vendors, and stakeholders to deliver seamless, high-quality events.

This is a logistics-heavy role that requires excellent organizational skills, comfort with project management systems, and experience running events both virtually and in-person. This role reports to the Chief Operating Officer and will work closely with internal teams and external partners to bring CREO’s global convenings to life, ensuring a positive member experience.

Primary Objectives

Project Management & Coordination:

• Own and manage the full lifecycle of CREO’s event calendar, including design, scheduling, timeline management, cross-team coordination, and follow-up communications.
• Maintain and improve internal production workflows, templates, and tracking systems for session planning, execution, and analysis.

Event Logistics:

• Co-lead the planning and execution of CREO’s two annual Global Meetings, including venue and vendor management, travel logistics, and on-site delivery.
• Coordinate across multiple time zones and workstreams to ensure all logistics are aligned and timelines are met.
• Support production logistics for in-person programming in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.
• Harmonize conceptual event goals and design with logistics.

Member-Facing Communications & Registration:

• Draft and manage all program-related communications, including registration launches via Salesforce, event reminders, and post-session recaps.
• Track member engagement and attendance data in Salesforce across virtual and in-person programs.

Internal Systems & Reporting:

• Maintain accurate internal calendars, registration records, and vendor documentation.
• Analyze engagement trends and help build internal reports that highlight programming KPIs.

Internal Knowledge Sharing & Documentation:

• Ensure program materials, logistics documentation, and session outcomes are well-organized and accessible to internal stakeholders.
• Support CREO’s efforts to build institutional knowledge by maintaining clear records of past programming, vendor performance, and member engagement trends.

Desired Qualifications

• At least 7 years of relevant work experience in event operations and logistics required; experience with event design and/or virtual event platforms desirable.
• Experience managing high-touch virtual and in-person events with multiple stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with an ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Established writing skills, particularly for member-facing or client-facing communications.
• Comfort working in a multi-time-zone setting that leverages cloud-based platforms for work activities and communications, including Outlook, Slack, and Salesforce.
• Demonstration of the ability to handle confidential information with integrity and discretion.
• Fluency in English required.

Compensation& Benefits

This role will be paid a base salary between $115,000 and $125,000, commensurate with experience. Additionally, this role will be eligible for semiannual performance bonuses of up to 10% of the base salary.

CREO relies on ADP as our employer of record.

CREO offers a generous time off package, including PTO and sick leave, week-long org-wide breaks in August and December, observation of federal holidays, and a Summer Friday program.

After six months of service, team members are eligible to participate in the company 401(k) plan, and CREO matches up to 4% on a payroll-by-payroll basis. Team members also have access to 12 weeks of paid family leave for qualifying life events after six months of service.
