Event Manager

Event Manager at Garner Health

Garner's mission is to transform the healthcare economy, delivering high-quality and affordable care for all. We are fundamentally reimagining how healthcare works in the U.S. by partnering with employers to redesign healthcare benefits using clear incentives and powerful, data-driven insights. Our approach guides employees to higher-quality, lower-cost care, creating a system that works better for everyone. Patients achieve better health outcomes, employers spend healthcare dollars more effectively, and physicians are rewarded for delivering exceptional care rather than performing more procedures.

Garner is one of the fastest-growing healthcare technology companies in the country. Our products are trusted by the most sophisticated employers and providers in the industry, and we are building a team of talented, mission-driven individuals who are motivated to make a meaningful impact on healthcare at scale.

About the Role

We are seeking an exceptional Event Manager to join our Marketing Team. This role will report to the Vice President, Experiential Marketing. This is a strategic marketing role responsible for designing and executing high-impact live experiences that bring Garner's brand and value proposition to life.

You will support and execute across both third-party events (conferences, trade shows, sponsorships) and Garner-hosted experiences (executive dinners, roadshows, and proprietary thought leadership events). Your role is not just to manage logistics, but to design thoughtful, engaging experiences that drive brand awareness, deepen relationships, and generate measurable pipeline impact.

This is an ideal role for someone who views events as a strategic growth lever — not just a production function — and is excited to build scalable, repeatable experiential marketing programs.

Where You Will Work

Garner is headquartered in NYC, but this position is available for individuals who are comfortable with remote work and occasional travel to HQ. This role requires 25% travel for events and internal meetings.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end execution of both third-party and Garner-hosted events, from planning through post-event follow-up
• Translate event strategy into detailed project plans, timelines, and deliverables (Asana experience strongly preferred), ensuring high production quality and on-brand execution
• Design engaging, high-touch event experiences that effectively communicate Garner's messaging and drive meaningful attendee interaction
• Manage vendors, venues, speakers, and budgets to deliver polished experiences with operational rigor and efficiency
• Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Strategic Alliances, and RevOps to align event programming with business priorities and pipeline objectives
• Own event data workflows, including building and managing invite lists from Salesforce, organizing attendee data in Excel/Google Sheets, and working with Marketing Operations on accurate tracking and attribution
• Define, track, and report on event KPIs (e.g., meetings booked, engagement, pipeline impact) to drive continuous improvement

The Ideal Candidate Has

• 3+ years of experience in event marketing or event management
• Proven ability to execute high-quality events with strong attention to detail and follow-through
• Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously (Asana experience preferred)
• Creative thinking and ability to design engaging, memorable attendee experiences
• Comfort working cross-functionally and supporting senior stakeholders
• Ability to define, track, and analyze event KPIs
• Strong analytical skills with comfort manipulating data in Excel/Google Sheets and working with Salesforce.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience in the healthcare benefits industry a plus, but not required
• A desire to be a part of a high-performing, mission-driven team that operates with intense urgency, a strong sense of individual accountability, and a commitment to authentic feedback

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing company in a transformative role, helping shape the future of healthcare.
