Marketing Events & Communications Manager
About Clair
If you can send your friends money in seconds, why does it still take your employer two weeks to send your paycheck?
At Clair, we are on a mission to create financial freedom for America's workers by giving them a digital banking platform that allows them to get paid as soon as they clock out of work. But we're not just another digital bank or on-demand pay provider. We meet Americans at their place of work by embedding our products within the scheduling, workforce management, and payroll apps they already use every day.

About the Role
We're looking for someone who knows that the best partnerships often start with a great conversation, and that the right story in the right outlet can open doors that no sales deck can.
As our Marketing Events & Communications Manager, you know how to get things done: you can own the logistics of a Tier 1 executive dinner, keep a PR agency on track, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks between a media pitch and a conference booth.
You'll work closely with Clair's B2B Marketing lead to execute partner-facing and prospect-facing events and support day-to-day PR activities. You won't be setting the overall strategy from scratch—you'll be the person who makes sure it actually happens, on time and with strong attention to detail.
This is an ideal role for someone who is organized, proactive, and comfortable switching between event logistics, media coordination, and agency management in the same week.
What You'll Do
Event Strategy & Planning
Identify conferences, sponsorship opportunities, events, podcasts, and industry gatherings that align with Clair's go-to-market strategy.
Develop an annual and quarterly event calendar focused on driving partner and prospect engagement.
Evaluate event ROI and make recommendations on where Clair should invest time and resources.
Event Execution
Own end-to-end event planning and logistics, including vendor management, contracts, budgets, registrations, travel coordination, venue selection, and on-site execution.
Coordinate executive dinners, customer appreciation events, prospect roundtables, and partner gatherings from start to finish.
Lead Clair's operational participation in industry conferences, including HR Tech, Money20/20, Fintech Meetup, and other relevant events.
Support New York Tech Week programming and local community-building initiatives.
PR & External Communications
Serve as the operational day-to-day liaison with Clair's PR agency—tracking open items, following up on deliverables, and flagging blockers to the Head of B2B Marketing
Maintain and update Clair's media list of target journalists, newsletter writers, podcast hosts, and analysts covering fintech, HR tech, payroll, and embedded finance
Draft and send media pitches under the direction of the Head of B2B Marketing; coordinate logistics for executive interviews and press calls
Prepare briefing documents for executive media appearances, including journalist background research, key talking points, and logistics
Monitor media coverage and flag relevant press mentions, competitive coverage, and inbound inquiries
Support award nomination submissions—gathering materials, drafting responses, and managing deadlines
Coordinate logistics for speaking opportunities and podcast appearances, including scheduling, prep materials, and follow-up
Revenue & Partnership Support
Partner closely with Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, and Leadership teams to ensure events and communications efforts generate meaningful business outcomes
Help identify target attendees and coordinate outreach efforts before, during, and after events
Work with leadership to maximize networking opportunities and strategic introductions
Measurement & Operations
Track event performance and maintain reporting on attendance, meetings generated, pipeline influenced, and overall ROI
Track PR performance against KPIs including share of voice, tier-one placements, and executive visibility metrics
Manage event and PR budgets and ensure programs are delivered efficiently and effectively
Continuously improve processes and identify opportunities to scale Clair's events and communications strategy
What We're Looking For
3+ years of experience in event marketing, field marketing, communications, PR, or a hybrid of the above
Demonstrated experience executing B2B events, conferences, executive dinners, or partner-facing experiences end-to-end
Experience managing or working alongside a PR agency—including briefing, reviewing pitches, tracking coverage, and holding an agency accountable to outcomes
Familiarity with media relations basics: media lists, pitch coordination, and press briefing prep
Exceptional project management and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
Strong written and verbal communication skills—comfortable drafting a pitch, a briefing doc, and a run-of-show in the same week
Comfortable working cross-functionally with executives, sales teams, partners, vendors and agency contacts
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where priorities evolve quickly
Willingness to travel as needed
Bonus Points If You Have
Experience in fintech, HR tech, SaaS, payroll, or the future of work space
Existing relationships with journalists, analysts, or newsletter writers covering fintech or HR tech
Experience supporting conference sponsorships and speaking opportunities
Experience managing award submissions and analyst relations
Familiarity with CRM, event management, and media monitoring tools
Why This Role Matters
Many of our best partnerships begin with a conversation, and our biggest opportunities begin with a story well told. You'll do both.
Whether it's an executive dinner in Chicago, a placement in Fintech Takes, a Forbes nomination, or a keynote slot at HR Tech—you'll play a key role in ensuring Clair shows up in the right places with the right message. If you're the type of person who already has a spreadsheet for your vacation itinerary, gets excited about bringing people together, and loves seeing a great pitch land—we'd love to meet you.
