About the Role:
BWZ operates 15+ professional development publications attracting 500k+ unique monthly visitors. We’ve perfected the playbook for launching, scaling, and monetizing digital publications — and now we’re building a world-class events business to match.
We’re hiring a founding Head of Events & Experiences to create, launch, and scale a new events division from scratch. You’ll define the vision, design the event portfolio, execute the first marquee events, and build the systems and team that scale it.
Events will span in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats. You will determine the right mix of formats across C-suite summits, executive roundtables, interviews, meetups, and content-driven virtual experiences — all designed to drive audience growth, editorial output, and commercial performance.
This is not a scrappy, underfunded startup role. You’ll have the capital, resources, and cross-functional support of a profitable media company — including brand, editorial, marketing, sales, and production teams — while owning the freedom and responsibility to build a business line from zero.
Critically, this is not a standalone function. Events must be deeply integrated with BWZ’s publications — generating high-value content, growing our audience, strengthening editorial authority, and fueling sponsorship opportunities. You’ll build an events engine that powers and is powered by our media brands.
If you’ve built events from scratch, brought them to profitability, and want the rare opportunity to build an events business with real backing — this is the role.
