Event Producer & Partnerships Manager (500+ People Conferences)

Event Producer & Partnerships Manager — TLV Business Academy

Tel Aviv | Part-time / Flexible | Potential to grow into a leadership role

TLV Business Academy is building large-scale business events, workshops and conferences for founders, entrepreneurs and business owners in Israel.

Our upcoming FOUNDERS conference is being built for hundreds of attendees, with speakers, sponsors, partners, networking and a premium conference experience.

We're looking for someone exceptional to work closely with the founder and take ownership of both the commercial and operational side of our events.

This is not a role where you sit on the sidelines and coordinate through email.

We want someone hands-on, resourceful, commercially minded and extremely good at making things happen.

Event production & operations

You will help plan and execute conferences and events from start to finish, including venue negotiations, suppliers, A/V, catering, signage, registration, speakers, schedules, logistics, staffing and on-site execution.

You'll help make sure every event runs professionally, on time and without surprises.

Partnerships & sponsorships

You'll identify, contact and close companies that want exposure to hundreds of founders and business owners.

This may include:

• event sponsors
• strategic partners
• venue partnerships
• media/community partnerships
• brands providing products/services
• corporate ticket packages
• speaker collaborations

You'll help create sponsorship packages, approach potential partners, negotiate terms and close deals.

Business development

We want someone who constantly thinks:

“Who should we partner with?”

“How could we get this for less?”

“Who would pay to be part of this?”

“How can we make this event significantly better?”

If a venue costs ₪40,000, you should be thinking about how to negotiate it to ₪30,000.

If 600 founders are attending, you should be thinking about which companies would pay ₪10,000–₪50,000 to reach them.

• conferences / event production
• sponsorship sales
• partnerships
• business development
• venue or hospitality operations
• startup / tech events
• community events
• B2B sales
• working with speakers, vendors and sponsors

Prior experience producing 300+ person events or selling meaningful sponsorship packages is a major advantage.

You're probably:

• exceptionally organized
• confident speaking to senior people
• a strong negotiator
• comfortable picking up the phone rather than waiting for emails
• commercially minded
• resourceful under pressure
• comfortable being physically present at venues and events
• capable of managing many moving pieces simultaneously
• proactive rather than someone who waits to be told what to do

We care much more about results, judgment and execution ability than degrees or traditional credentials.

You'll work directly with the founder and have significant ownership over events that we intend to grow substantially.

The goal isn't to produce one conference.

We're building a recurring event brand that can eventually bring together hundreds and potentially thousands of founders, entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders.

For the right person, the role can grow considerably with the company.
