About AlleyCorp

AlleyCorp is a New York-based venture capital firm that incubates and invests in transformative companies across healthcare, AI, enterprise software, consumer tech, deep tech, and more.

As one of the most active early-stage investors in New York, AlleyCorp focuses on investing at the incubation, pre–seed, seed, and Series A stages. Founded by serial entrepreneur Kevin Ryan, AlleyCorp's past incubations have included MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB), Business Insider, Zola, Gilt Groupe, Radical AI, and Transcend Therapeutics.

The Role

We’re looking for an Events Manager to help bring AlleyCorp’s platform and community to life through standout events and programming that deepen our firm’s relationships with founders, operators, investors, and the broader tech ecosystem. With the opening of our new SoHo building headquarters, you’ll help establish the building as a hub for connection, ideas, and community.

In this role, you’ll lead marquee events from concept to completion, including founder summits, flagship events, ecosystem gatherings, and ongoing community moments. We are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit that thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys bringing order to complexity, and constantly looks for ways to scale your impact. Strong interest in the use of AI, tools and systems to facilitate that work.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of strategy and execution, generating value through well-designed experiences that support broader firm goals. You’ll report to the Head of Platform, helping bring the best ideas to life while focusing time and resources on what matters most.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end execution of events, including marquee programs such as our Annual CEO Summit, founder gatherings, company offsites, and flagship ecosystem events (sectors include healthcare, deep tech, consumer, enterprise, etc.)
• Leverage AlleyCorp’s new SoHo headquarters as an asset when hosting community programming and strategic gatherings
• Turn high-level ideas into clear plans, timelines, budgets, and outcomes
• Manage multiple workstreams and communicate progress clearly to leadership
• Lead sponsorship engagement, commitments and event fundraising
• Collaborate with co-hosts, sponsors, venues, and vendors to deliver exceptional experiences
• Strong representative of AlleyCorp, with ability to deepen our relationships with other top firms, investors and organizations
• Use tools, workflows, and AI to improve efficiency and execution quality
• Gather feedback and continuously improve future programming

What We’re Looking For

• 4-6+ years of experience in events, operations, or program management
• Experience owning high-visibility events with multiple stakeholders and deadlines
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, unstructured environment
• Strong creative instincts and ability to turn ideas into compelling experiences
• Highly autonomous and able to run projects independently
• Strong understanding of the venture and startup landscape
• Excellent collaborator across founders, investors, operators, and external partners
• Strategic thinker who connects events to broader brand and platform goals
• Exceptional organization and project management skills
• High level of interest in using tools, systems, and AI to scale impact
• Proactive thinker and executor
• Ideally has strong connectivity in the NYC events world
