Head of Global Events

WHY HARVEY

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1500+ customers in 60+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This role owns Harvey’s owned global events strategy, which to date, includes Harvey’s conference series “FORUM https://www.harvey.ai/forum/new-york”. FORUM convenes leaders from across the legal profession to explore how AI, new operating models, and shifting talent dynamics are reshaping how legal teams work. You will define what FORUM is, where it goes, and how it delivers against Harvey's brand and go-to-market goals, building the team, systems, and partnerships required to scale FORUM into a globally recognized program.

The role sits at the intersection of brand, GTM, and executive engagement, ensuring FORUM is a high-quality moment for customers, prospects, and the broader legal community, and a meaningful driver of sales acceleration. Success in this role comes from strong team leadership, sharp programming instincts, executive presence, and the ability to build and develop a high-performing team while operating in a fast-moving environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own the FORUM strategy end to end: vision, positioning, geographic footprint, format, and the multi-year roadmap for how the program scales.

• Build, manage, and develop the FORUM team across production, content and programming, and marketing and enablement.

• Partner with Brand and Product Marketing to ensure FORUM amplifies brand campaigns and key product launches.

• Own the content, programming, and creative bar for FORUM, including themes, session formats, speaker lineup, editorial narrative, and overall experiential design, ensuring every edition reflects Harvey's brand at the highest level.

• Own the invite and registration strategy: the target audience mix, invite lists, RSVP funnel, and the customer/prospect journey from save-the-date through post-event.

• Own how FORUM drives sales acceleration and GTM enablement, partnering with Sales, Customer Success, and Demand Gen to bring the right accounts into the room, engineer pipeline moments into the program, brief and equip the field, and ensure disciplined follow-through.

• Design the end-to-end attendee experience, from invitation through arrival, programming, hospitality, and post-event follow-up, ensuring every touchpoint delights attendees.

• Own FORUM's partner strategy: identify and cultivate the ecosystem partners and collaborators who elevate the program.

• Serve as the executive-facing leader for FORUM, partnering directly with the CEO, CMO, and GTM leadership to shape the vision, secure executive engagement, and communicate progress, tradeoffs, and results throughout the year.

• Own the FORUM P&L, including budget planning, allocation, and ongoing visibility into ROI.

• Work with the Event Production Lead to shape agency and vendor strategy at the program level, including RFP processes for events, production, and creative partners.

• Build the systems, documentation, and playbooks that drive rigor and allow FORUM to scale globally without losing quality, from project plans and work breakdown structures to run-of-show and post-event debriefs.

WHAT YOU HAVE

• 10+ years of experience in events, with a track record of designing and delivering flagship owned events at scale, and depth in executive engagement and integrated brand activations.

• Proven experience building, managing, and developing high-performing events teams, with a strong track record of hiring, coaching, and retaining talent.

• Experience owning content and programming for large events, including themes, session design, and speaker curation.

• Experience designing invite and registration strategies for high-consideration audiences, and driving the RSVP funnel end to end.

• Experience partnering with Sales and CS to translate events into pipeline and sales acceleration outcomes, and to enable GTM teams around a moment.

• Experience building and executing partner strategies for large-scale events, including identifying, cultivating, and activating ecosystem partners.

• Strong business acumen and financial discipline, with demonstrated experience owning and optimizing significant events budgets to drive ROI and delight attendees.

• Strategic thinker with strong change management skills, able to navigate a program through evolving priorities without losing quality.

• Strong executive presence and comfort partnering directly with C-suite and senior GTM leaders.

• Experience managing external agencies, production partners, and creative vendors across multiple simultaneous workstreams.

• Comfort operating in fast-moving environments and making sound judgment calls under ambiguity.
