ABOUT PROJECT HEALTHY MINDS   Project Healthy Minds is a mental health tech non-profit startup. We are pioneering a first-of-its-kind model: applying technology to address one of the biggest social issues of our time: the growing mental health crisis. We believe in a simple but profound idea: that it should be as easy to find mental health services as it is to book a flight or a restaurant reservation. That's why we're building the world’s first digital marketplace for finding mental health services that are right for you.    To do that, we work with some of the most inspiring and influential leaders in America - business titans, tech entrepreneurs, clinicians and scientists, musicians, artists, athletes, media stars, policymakers, and more - because we believe that the world's most complex challenges require interdisciplinary teams and solutions.   We are backed by a powerhouse of industry-leading Board of Directors and Advisory Council Members who are passionate, hands-on, and dive into the important work with us.   Learn more at projecthealthyminds.com and @projecthealthyminds on social.   ABOUT THE ROLE   WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We’re hiring a Director of Special Events who will set and execute a category-redefining vision for Project Healthy Minds’ events slate and lead all fundraising events at Project Healthy Minds.   This leader should have four superpowers:  • An extraordinary level of creativity and experience conceptualizing and producing outside-the-box, elevated events. • The production chops to make a Coachella production manager blush – someone who intuitively understands production specs and labor needs, has a deep network of vendor relationships and knows how to negotiate and manage vendors, knows all of the different shapes of venue deals and just as importantly, knows how to work with venues, and has the leadership qualities to lead a multi-stakeholder process for signature events and ensure the production of our events is world-class. • Exquisite taste and editorial brilliance to curate the right topics, speakers, and participants to ensure Project Healthy Minds events are some of the most intellectually interesting events around. • An unmatched strategic, fundraising mindset to ensure that all of our events inspire individual donors and corporate partners to philanthropically support the mission of the non-profit.   This role will report into the VP of Development, will work very closely with the Founder & CEO, and will serve as a leader working cross-functionally with other members of the Development and Creative teams to conceive and execute groundbreaking events.   HOW YOU’LL CONTRIBUTE: • Set the strategic vision and roadmap for the Project Healthy Minds fundraising events strategy – from culture-driven fundraisers (e.g. our annual gala) to intimate, VIP events. • Lead the strategy for each Project Healthy Minds fundraising event – setting the programming, editorial, and talent vision, shaping the creative direction (with the Head of Creative), developing the fundraising strategy, creating the production and staffing plans, etc.  • Drive the execution of all event production elements end-to-end in a hands-on manner – providing strong day-to-day leadership to all internal stakeholders, external vendors, and venue partners.  • Lead all vendor and venue relations – from sourcing to negotiation to management to reporting. • Quarterback the process for securing talent for all events – working in close partnership with the CEO, the VP of Development, Board of Directors, internal staff, and other key VIP partners/friends to Project Healthy Minds. • Create detailed end-to-end planning timelines for events and run the process to ensure best-in-class execution across the team. • Own the P&L for all events. • Oversee the creation of all event materials (e.g. digital experiences, solicitation materials, printed materials at the event, etc.) – working i
