What are the responsibilities and job description for the Events & Partnerships Lead position at Alma?
Hi there! We’re Alma 👋
We’re on a mission to make immigration more accessible, transparent, and human through cutting-edge technology and thoughtful legal support.
We’re backed by top-tier investors (Bling, Forerunner, Village Global, NFX, NEA, MVP, Conviction, and Silkroad Innovation), and our team combines decades of experience across immigration law, product, operations, and high-growth startups.
We’re hiring an Events & Partnerships Lead to build and scale Alma’s presence through high-impact events for founders and HR / People teams managing global talent.
This role is primarily about events. You’ll design, run, and scale a repeatable events engine that drives awareness, engagement, and pipeline. Partnerships will support that motion, helping Alma plug into the right communities and platforms such as YC, 500 Global, and other founder and HR ecosystems. We aim to create memorable, high-quality experiences that people talk about, come back to, and associate with Alma.
You’ll own the motion end-to-end: event strategy, execution, distribution, and follow-on engagement. If you love running standout events and turning them into a scalable growth channel, we’d love to chat.
What You’ll Do
Own Alma’s Events Strategy & Execution
We’re a small, mission-driven team reimagining immigration from the ground up. We value thoughtfulness, speed, and building systems that scale. We work closely across functions and care deeply about the people we serve.
Benefits & Perks
We know the “perfect” candidate doesn’t exist. If this role excites you but you don’t meet every qualification, we’d still love to hear from you. Immigration is complex. So are people. That’s what makes this work so meaningful.
