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.

Experience:

---------------

3 to 5 Years
