Job Description

Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.

Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a mustache-powered crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.

DO GOOD - Work for Movember.

Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):

As Events Manager, you'll own the planning and execution of every Movember event across the US market, from large-scale fundraising flagships to third-party beneficiary events, community activations, partner moments, and volunteer engagement. You're a true ambassador for the Movember brand, and you bring energy, authenticity and purpose to every single experience you touch. As the US growth plan scales, you'll need to think holistically across the business, making sure events are never siloed and always strategically aligned with Fundraising, Partnerships, Marketing and Impact.

You'll run the full event lifecycle yourself: pre-event strategy, ideation, quoting, venue management, guest lists, run of show, creative assets, entertainment, catering, ticketing, staffing and volunteers on the day, right through to post-event analysis. You'll keep Salesforce accurate and up to date, negotiate charity discounts with suppliers, and step up to resolve problems the moment they arise, all while delivering on time and on budget. You'll also work hand in hand with the Partnerships team, building sellable sponsorship assets and co-creating new activation opportunities that make every partner feel genuinely valued.

This role demands a real presence in the field. You'll be on-site at events, activations and community engagements, getting stuck in alongside the Movember community, and you'll travel within the USA 25 to 35 percent of the time, with extra travel during key moments in the Movember calendar. Reporting to the Director, US Fundraising, and based in Los Angeles, this is a full-time, exempt role for someone who thrives on variety, moves fast, and genuinely loves bringing people together for a cause that matters.

No Mustache Required - but the following are:

• Demonstrable experience in event management with a proven track record delivering fundraising and supporter engagement events

• Highly developed organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise and manage several events concurrently while meeting tight deadlines

• Strong project management, negotiation, interpersonal and customer service skills

• A self-starter with strong problem-solving skills, high motivation, and the initiative to act without waiting to be asked

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment, with the adaptability to flex beyond fundraising events as the business scales

• Willingness and ability to be on-site at events and activations, engaging directly with the Movember community

• Ability and willingness to travel within the USA 25 to 35 percent of the time, with heightened travel during key calendar moments

• A valid US driver's licence and clean driving record

• Ability to safely lift 25 lbs, predominantly during event set-up and tear-down

Not Mission Critical – but for bonus points:

• Experience using Salesforce or another CRM database

• Experience in the non-profit sector, or a track record maximising event outcomes across budgets of varying sizes

GOOD CAUSE:

Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives

We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.

GOOD VIBES:

We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.

Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.

GOOD CREW:

Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.

We offer:

• Health insurance, vision, dental benefits and 401k

• Free Headspace subscription and Employee Assistance Program

• 20 vacation days per year

• Relaxed dress code

• Fun and collaborative culture

• Free breakfast & coffee bar

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience, and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly. Reasonable accommodations are also available on request for differently abled candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.
