About the role

Pelago is looking for a Sr. Manager of Events to own the strategy and execution of our B2B event portfolio and select corporate experiences. This is a highly visible, hands-on role for someone who can connect event investments to commercial priorities, create thoughtful experiences for customers and prospects, and manage every detail from planning through follow-up. This is a hybrid role with a high-collaboration rhythm (4 days/week in our NYC office).

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience leading events, field marketing, experiential marketing, or a closely related function, with meaningful ownership of B2B events
  • A track record of independently managing complex events from strategy and budgeting through onsite delivery and post-event measurement
  • Strong project management skills and the ability to keep multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines moving at once
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, including confidence partnering with senior executives, sales leaders, customers, and external vendors
  • Sound judgment, high attention to detail, and a calm, resourceful approach when plans change
  • Experience using event and marketing technology to support registration, engagement, lead capture, follow-up, and reporting
More about this role

Pelago is the leading specialty substance use care provider, built on the belief that effective treatment means matching care intensity to what each member actually needs rather than defaulting to the most expensive intervention. Our programs guide members through every stage of the substance use spectrum, from unhealthy habits to active use disorders, delivering personalized treatment for tobacco, alcohol, opioid, cannabis, and stimulant use based on individual health, habits, genetics, and goals.

With Sona, our voice-first AI Mental Health Specialist, Pelago now applies that same clinically-driven model to mental health, pairing deep clinical expertise with technology to expand access without compromising care quality. We believe technology should make clinical care more precise and more human, not replace the judgment behind it.

Pelago has scaled to helping hundreds of employers and health plans and has already helped more than 750,000 members better manage their substance use. If you're passionate about AI and making an impact on the health of others, join us and make it happen!
