Event & Partnership Manager

Event & Partnership Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for a hands-on Event & Partnership Manager who can build Schedar’s ecosystem presence from the ground up across AI, Web3, crypto, infrastructure, and frontier tech communities.

This is not a “coordinate logistics and send calendar invites” role. We need someone who can identify the right events, communities, founders, partners, KOLs, protocols, accelerators, and ecosystem players — then turn those relationships into high-quality deal flow, talent flow, brand visibility, and collaboration opportunities.

You’ll work directly with Schedar’s team, founders, portfolio companies, technical builders, and external partners to help Schedar become more visible and connected across the AI-native and Web3 ecosystem.

What You’ll Own

Identify high-value conferences, side events, hackathons, demo days, founder communities, accelerators, university networks, and ecosystem gatherings across AI and Web3

Build and manage Schedar’s event strategy, including hosted events, co-hosted events, private founder dinners, meetups, workshops, panels, and online sessions

Source and build partnerships with protocols, startups, communities, VCs, accelerators, dev communities, KOLs, media partners, and ecosystem organizations

Turn events and partnerships into measurable outcomes: founder leads, project leads, talent leads, investor relationships, community growth, and portfolio support

Coordinate event planning end-to-end, including concept, agenda, speaker outreach, guest list, partner alignment, logistics, promotion, follow-up, and reporting

Create outreach flows for founders, builders, partners, speakers, and strategic ecosystem contacts

Maintain and grow a CRM of relevant founders, partners, communities, event organizers, operators, and technical talent

Work with marketing/content teams to create event announcements, speaker posts, recaps, newsletters, and partner communications

Support Schedar-backed and incubated projects with partnership opportunities, launch events, community access, and ecosystem introductions

Track event ROI and partnership performance through clear dashboards, follow-ups, and feedback loops

Stay close to emerging AI/Web3 narratives, new ecosystems, protocols, infrastructure trends, and founder communities

What We’re Looking For

Experience in events, partnerships, ecosystem growth, community, BD, VC platform, or startup operations

Strong understanding of Web3, crypto, AI, developer ecosystems, infrastructure, or frontier tech communities

Ability to identify high-signal people, projects, communities, and events — not just popular ones

Hands-on execution mindset: comfortable planning, writing outreach, managing logistics, hosting conversations, and following up

Strong communication skills and ability to build trust with founders, operators, investors, developers, and partners

Comfortable working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with multiple stakeholders

Ability to turn relationships into structured opportunities, not just casual networking

Strong organizational skills across CRM, event planning, partner tracking, and post-event follow-up

Interest in early-stage startups, technical founders, venture capital, AI-native products, Web3 infrastructure, and digital ecosystems

High ownership, strong taste, and bias toward action

Nice to Have

Experience working in VC, accelerator, Web3 ecosystem, crypto exchange, protocol foundation, startup studio, or early-stage startup

Existing network across AI, Web3, crypto, developer tools, infrastructure, fintech, or startup communities

Experience organizing founder dinners, side events, conference activations, hackathons, demo days, workshops, or investor/operator meetups

Familiarity with tools like Notion, Airtable, HubSpot, Attio, Clay, Luma, Eventbrite, Typeform, Telegram, Discord, X, LinkedIn, or similar

Experience with community-led growth, ecosystem partnerships, ambassador programs, or founder/investor relations

Understanding of wallets, protocols, DeFi, DAOs, L1/L2 ecosystems, token incentives, or Web3 user behavior

Ability to write clear event copy, partner briefs, outreach messages, speaker notes, and follow-up summaries

Prior experience supporting founders, portfolio companies, or technical communities

You Might Be a Fit If

You like building ecosystems from zero, not just managing existing relationships

You are comfortable moving between strategy and execution in the same day

You can spot high-potential founders, projects, and communities before they become obvious

You enjoy meeting people, but you also know how to turn conversations into structured next steps

You understand that events are not just brand moments — they are deal flow, talent flow, partnerships, and market intelligence

You can work with founders, technical teams, investors, community builders, and ecosystem partners

You care about speed, ownership, thoughtful follow-up, and measurable outcomes

You want to help Schedar become a stronger presence across AI-native and Web3 ecosystems

Why Join Schedar

Work at the intersection of AI, Web3, venture capital, and early-stage company building

Collaborate directly with founders, investors, technical builders, and ecosystem leaders

High ownership over Schedar’s external presence, events, and partnership strategy

Remote-first and flexible setup

Exposure to Schedar’s portfolio, network, and technical ecosystem

Opportunity to help discover and support new primitives for the digital economy

Build relationships across some of the most interesting AI-native and Web3 communities globally

Compensation

Competitive compensation based on experience, scope, and role structure. Performance-based incentives, event/project bonuses, or equity/token exposure may be available depending on the specific engagement model.
