Events Lead

Conquista is a boutique, web3-native PR and strategic communications consultancy for emerging technologies from AI and fintech to crypto, DeFi infrastructure and digital assets. We specialise in media relations, thought leadership, and crisis communications, crafting tailored strategies that help founders and startups build trust, shape narratives, and cut through the noise. As a partner to leading global tech and crypto events, Conquista delivers meaningful visibility on stage and in the headlines.

The Events Lead is fully accountable for the conception, planning, production, and execution of Conquista-led and client-led events worldwide.

This is an operator role. You will take events from concept to delivery: ideation, planning, budgeting, vendor management, partnerships, on-site execution, and post-event analysis. Partnerships and light business development are part of the role, always in service of event outcomes.

You'll work closely with Laura Estefana, Founder & CEO, and the core team to ensure events are strategically aligned, commercially smart, and flawlessly executed.

• Own the full lifecycle of events: concept, strategy, planning, production, execution, and post-event analysis.
• Design and deliver high-impact formats including private dinners, roundtables, breakfasts, side events, and flagship activations.
• Manage budgets, timelines, run-of-show documents, and all vendors (venues, catering, AV, production, branding).
• Lead on-site execution and real-time problem-solving during events.
• Identify and manage strategic partners, co-hosts, and sponsors.
• Support client event strategies and act as a trusted execution partner.
• Represent Conquista at major conferences and industry gatherings.
• Track event performance and continuously refine event playbooks.

• 5+ years experience in event production, partnerships, or strategic events within finance, digital assets, crypto, fintech, or tech.
• Proven experience delivering complex events end-to-end.
• Strong understanding of the digital assets and financial infrastructure ecosystem.
• Highly organised, detail-oriented, and execution-focused.
• Commercially minded with experience managing sponsors and partners.
• Calm under pressure with excellent stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable working remotely with frequent international travel.

• Not a junior coordinator role.
• Not a marketing or PR role, but understanding of it will be needed.
• Not a quota-carrying sales position.

This role lives and dies by execution.
