Director, RAISE Global 

Reports to: VP, RAISE

Team: RAISE Global 

Location: San Francisco Type: Full-time, In-Office (WFH 50%+ after 3-months)

About RAISE

RAISE Global is the premier venture capital summit and community connecting the world's most active limited partners with the most promising emerging fund managers. For over a decade, RAISE has been the most trusted gathering in the emerging-manager ecosystem — the single most impactful day for a GP, whether or not they're actively raising.

RAISE runs as a portfolio of connected properties:

  • The Global Summit — the flagship. ~100 GPs selected from 800+ applications, meeting 330+ LPs in San Francisco each October.
  • GP Day — an exclusive, highly selective masterclass day for 300 emerging managers, built around fundraising-infrastructure sessions and allocator-type LP panels.
  • LP-Only Summits — invitation-only workshop series for LPs actively deploying into emerging managers, built on curated, co-moderated peer sessions.
  • Monthly Event Series — a year-round, invitation-only event series convening the leading players in venture capital across the GP, founder, and LP sides. These gatherings keep the community connected between flagship moments and are the connective tissue of the RAISE network.

The Opportunity

We're hiring the person who will own the day-to-day end-to-end operations of RAISE. As the current VP steps into a broader role, this seat begins to take the wheel: producing the events — from the flagship Summit down to the monthly series that keeps the community connected all year — running the marketing engine, building and maintaining the digital surfaces, managing the application and selection pipeline, and keeping the LP, GP, and sponsor communities humming. The Director will report to the VP and receive coaching and direct support as they build out their capacity during a structured, heavily supported 4-month onboarding process.

This is a rare blend of event production and marketing/communications in one role — equal parts builder, producer, writer, and operator. You'll work across a real, modern stack (Cvent, HubSpot, Webflow, Google Workspace, and increasingly AI-assisted workflows), and you'll be trusted with the brand voice, the calendar, and the relationships that make RAISE what it is.

If you've come up through a platform or community role inside a VC firm — or at a service provider serving the venture ecosystem (a fund administrator, placement agent, SPV/cap-table platform, law firm, bank, or data provider) — and you've always wanted to run the whole show, this is that show.

What You'll Own1. Event Production

  • Produce all three RAISE properties end to end: the Global Summit, GP Day, and the LP Summits, plus periodic regional convenings.
  • Curate and run the RAISE Monthly Series — a year-round cadence of invitation-only gatherings bringing together the leading players in venture capital across the GP, founder, and LP sides. Own the full cycle: theme and guest-list curation, venue and host coordination, invitations and RSVPs, on-site execution, and follow-up, while keeping each event tight, high-signal, and on-brand.
  • Build and manage event agendas — main-stage curation, masterclasses, LP panels, and small-format roundtables and peer-introduction sessions organized by allocator type and stage.
  • Coordinate venues, vendors, room flips, catering, AV, badging, and on-site logistics.
  • Own the registration experience in Cvent, including event builds, invitation lists, and the question/field architecture that feeds the CRM.
  • Recruit and prep speakers, moderators, and panelists; produce moderation guides and run-of-show materials.

2. Marketing & Communications

  • Run the multi-channel marketing calendar across email and social, anchored by multi-week campaign systems (e.g., a 20+ post LinkedIn campaign mapped week by week through the application window).
  • Write and ship the copy: campaign captions, on-graphic copy, sponsor posts, email sequences, the event prospectus, and community announcements — all in the RAISE voice.
  • Build and send email campaigns in HubSpot — invitation lists, nurture sequences, deadline drivers — with attention to dark-mode and mobile rendering.
  • Steward the RAISE brand across every surface and keep terminology and voice consistent.
  • Produce occasional thought-leadership and market content that positions RAISE in the emerging-manager conversation.

3. Web & Digital

  • Build and maintain RAISE's web surfaces: the marketing site (Webflow) and the custom-HTML event pages on the Cvent platform.
  • Hand-build and update sponsor logo grids, agenda layouts, FAQ pages, and landing sections in HTML/CSS.
  • Keep the community portal and digital infrastructure up to date.

4. Sponsorship & Revenue

  • Manage the sponsorship program: outreach, proposals, agreement tracking, and renewal.
  • Deliver sponsor value: agenda placement, logo placement, marketing campaign content, and post-event reporting.
  • Drive ticket sales for paid programming and track conversion through the funnel.
  • Hit revenue targets on single event and full program levels.

5. GP Application & LP Selection Committee Operations

  • Run the annual application pipeline — 800+ submissions screened for qualification, then routed into committee review.
  • Oversee LP Selection Committee

6. Community & Relationship Management

  • Be a primary point of contact for LPs, GPs, and sponsors
  • Manage inbound across the community, triage and route, and keep relationships moving with light-touch, high-quality communication.
  • Use the CRM (HubSpot) as a living system of record for the pipeline.

What You Bring

Required

  • 5+ years across event production and marketing/communications, with real ownership of both — not one supported by the other.
  • Demonstrated copywriting and content chops: you can write a campaign, a sponsor email, a landing page, and a prospectus, and make each sound right for its audience.
  • Hands-on technical comfort. You can build and edit web pages in HTML/CSS (or in a platform like Webflow or using AI), configure an event platform like Cvent, and operate a CRM like HubSpot. You're not afraid of an AI-empowered tech stack — you're energized by it.
  • A bias toward modern, AI-assisted workflows — you reach for tools that compress the work, and you're quick to learn and build new ones.
  • Exceptional project management: you keep many concurrent workstreams and deadlines moving without dropping the ball.
  • Excellent judgment and discretion in handling LP, GP, and sponsor relationships.

Strongly

  • Experience in or adjacent to venture capital — ideally from a platform or community role inside a VC firm, or from a service provider serving the VC community (fund administration, placement, SPV/cap-table platforms, legal, banking, or data).
  • Familiarity with the LP–GP dynamic and the of fund managers and allocators.
  • Sponsorship sales or partnership experience.
  • Comfort with data work and visualization.

Nice to have

  • Design sensibility (you can spec a graphic, lay out a deck, or keep a brand system tight).
  • Intermediate AI experience creating and managing your own agents and applications.
  • A network in the emerging-manager ecosystem.

Who You Are

You're a producer and a builder. You like owning outcomes, not tasks. You can write a witty LinkedIn post in the morning, hand-edit a sponsor grid on a live event page over lunch, prep a committee of 70 reviewers in the afternoon, and walk a venue at night — and you're good at all four. You're comfortable being the calm, organized center of a high-stakes, relationship-driven business, and you care about the details that make a community feel curated rather than mass-market.

You understand venture — or you're hungry to, and you've spent time close enough to it to speak the . You are eager to establish/solidify your foothold in VC and grow in the industry long term.
