About YourStory

YourStory is India's leading digital media platform spotlighting entrepreneurial journeys, innovation, and bold ideas shaping India's future. With 1,50,000+ stories told over 16 years and a reach of 10+ million people every month across English, Hindi, and Tamil, we sit at the centre of India's startup, SME, and tech ecosystem.

We are looking for an Events Manager (Mid–Senior Level) to lead end-to-end events at YourStory — someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, marrying strategy with creativity and execution.

Role Overview

The Events Manager will be responsible for anchoring, planning, and executing high-impact events and media-led experiences for YourStory. You'll be the internal command centre — owning the project plan, keeping stakeholders aligned, running cadence calls, and ensuring nothing slips: timelines, dependencies, follow-ups, or updates.

Key Responsibilities

Internal programme ops (core)

  • Build and manage event workback plans, trackers, and weekly task lists.
  • Run internal coordination: capture action items, chase owners, unblock dependencies, and keep timelines honest.
  • Maintain a single source of truth: agenda versions, speaker tracker, sponsor deliverables tracker, production requirements, and comms calendar.
  • Host recurring cadence calls: set agenda, keep deliverables in check, document outcomes, send crisp MoMs.

Stakeholder alignment

  • Coordinate across internal teams: sales, partnerships, marketing, design, editorial, video, product/tech, finance, and production.
  • Translate 'what we want' into 'what needs doing' with owners, deadlines, and acceptance criteria.
  • Escalate early: flag risks, slippages, and decision gaps with options—not problems.

Speaker & content ops

  • Manage and track speaker outreach status and confirmations; manage calendars, logistics, bios/headshots, and consent forms if required.
  • Support session operations, coordinate rehearsals and tech checks (calendar, reminders, readiness tracking).

Sponsor deliverables ops (support)

  • Track sponsor commitments and assets: logos, ad units, booth requirements, stage mentions, session formats, lead capture.
  • Ensure internal teams deliver sponsor outputs on time and on brand.
  • Maintain version control of sponsor signage/creatives and approvals.

Marketing & attendee comms coordination (support)

  • Coordinate deliverables for landing pages, emailers, social posts, and creative deadlines (execution by marketing/design teams).
  • Manage registration ops inputs: FAQs, event info, access policies, etc.
  • Maintain audience-facing accuracy across all touchpoints (timings, speaker names, venue details).

Reporting & hygiene (non-negotiable)

  • Weekly status updates: what's done, what's stuck, decisions needed, next milestones.
  • Post-event wrap: collect learnings, update SOPs/templates, archive final docs.

Must-have Skills & Experience

  • 3–5 years in event coordination, programme ops, project management, or high-velocity cross-functional roles.
  • Strong project discipline: timelines, dependencies, meeting hygiene, follow-through. Has to be organised, assertive, and detail-accurate.
  • Excellent written communication: clear notes, crisp updates, confident stakeholder nudges.
  • Comfortable with spreadsheets and documentation; strong version control instincts.
  • Ability to work calmly under pressure; proactive escalation.

Tools: Google Workspace; Excel/Sheets; PM tools like Asana/Trello/Notion/Jira (any one is fine).

Additional Skills For Bonus Points

  • Experience with conferences or B2B events, especially tech/startups.
  • Basic familiarity with sponsor deliverables, registration flows, and content production timelines.
  • Comfort working with senior stakeholders and external partners.
  • Familiarity in working on Webflow, Canva, Slides/PowerPoint.

How to apply

  • one complex project you managed end-to-end,
  • how you keep stakeholders accountable without friction, and
  • an example of a tracker or MoM format you use (without any sensitive information)
