Events Manager - CFO community & Experiences Lead

Construire et développer la communauté Payflows, principalement en personne, en décidant qui devrait en faire partie et en créant des raisons pour les membres de se rassembler. Créer le buzz autour des événements, des laboratoires d'IA et de la communauté, en rendant les invitations personnelles et recherchées. Gérer les listes d'invités, les invitations, les contacts et le suivi, en établissant des relations avec les invités avant leur arrivée. Who you are A natural connector and community builder. You know how to bring interesting people together and create an environment where they want to return. You’ve built a community, network, membership group or series of experiences before. You know how to create excitement. You understand anticipation, exclusivity and word of mouth. You can make an event feel like the place to be without resorting to gimmicks. A brilliant host. You remember names, spot the guest standing alone and know exactly who to introduce to whom. You care about how people feel when they walk into a room. Commercially switched on. You understand that relationships matter to the business. You can connect community activity to brand affinity, partner engagement, introductions and pipeline without making every interaction feel like a sales pitch. Exceptional on execution. Venues, guest lists, travel, budgets and last-minute changes. You sweat the details, stay calm under pressure and make everything feel effortless from the guest’s side. Creative and entrepreneurial. You bring ideas, take initiative and aren’t waiting for a finished brief. You spot opportunities to do things differently and make them happen. At ease with senior people. A room of CFOs, investors and senior executives doesn’t faze you. You are curious, confident and able to build genuine relationships. Native-level English, Paris-based. You write and speak English like a native and are ready to work from our Paris office, with trips to London and beyond. French is highly recommended. This isn’t for you if… You see events as logistics rather than an opportunity to build relationships and brand affinity. You want to plan events and hand them to someone else to run. You think a successful event is simply a full room and a few photos. You aren’t comfortable proactively building relationships with senior people. You need a finished brief before you start. About Payflows Payflows is the AI companion that makes a company’s existing ERP AI-native, so finance teams can close faster without the pain of migrating from their legacy tools. Founded in Paris in 2022, we have raised €26M from Balderton, Ribbit Capital and Headline, and work from hubs in Paris, London and New York. We work with mid-cap and large enterprises, private equity firms and organisations helping businesses transform their finance operations. Why we’re hiring The people shaping the future of enterprise finance are part of a small, connected world. CFOs, finance leaders, private equity investors and consultants trust their peers, value access and want to spend time with people who challenge how they think. We already bring these people together through AI Labs, where finance teams build with our engineers, and through private dinners and events. Now we want to turn those moments into something bigger: a network people are proud to be part of, a brand people want to be associated with and experiences people don’t want to miss. We need someone to make Payflows exciting in the market. Someone who knows how to create a sense of belonging and exclusivity, build anticipation around what we’re doing and make the right people feel like they’re on the inside. This isn’t just about organising events. It’s about building the Payflows buzz, one great experience and relationship at a time. The role You’ll build and grow the Payflows community, mostly in person. You’ll decide who should be part of it, create reasons for them to come together and make every interaction feel thoughtful, memorable and worth talking about. You’ll be part host, part relationship builder, part brand ambassador and part chief hype person. You’ll create the feeling that something interesting is happening at Payflows — from intimate CFO dinners and invite-only AI Labs to larger gatherings, unexpected experiences and collaborations with investors and partners. You’ll work closely with our sales and partnerships teams, who help bring the right people into the network, and directly with our CEO and co-founder. You’ll own the details as well as the atmosphere: from the guest list and first invitation to the introductions, follow-up and next reason to meet. What you’ll do Make Payflows a place people want to belong. Build a network of CFOs, finance leaders, PE operating partners and consultants who see real value in being connected to Payflows and to each other. Create the buzz. Build anticipation around our events, AI Labs and community. Make invitations feel personal and sought-after, give people a reason to talk
