Content and Programming Senior Manager

Who you are

• 7+ years of experience in events, content, or programming roles, ideally with exposure to flagship or high-visibility conferences
• Experience developing world-class content for large in-person events, including themes, session design, and speaker curation
• Experience managing speakers directly: outreach, scheduling, rehearsals, and day-of support
• A strong storyteller who can distill complex business and product priorities into narratives that resonate with senior stakeholders and attendees alike
• A strategic thinker who can process disparate information quickly, make and communicate decisions fast, and build new plans and processes from scratch
• Comfort partnering cross-functionally with Product, Product Marketing, Creative/Design, and Leadership, including at the executive level, while holding tight timelines
• Strong project management skills, with the ability to run multiple high-profile events and concurrent content workstreams at once without dropping details
• A process-first mindset: comfortable building trackers, playbooks, and documentation that bring structure to a fast-moving program
• High ownership, professionalism, tact, and judgment, with the ability to operate under ambiguity
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with a sharp eye for cutting jargon and filler from session copy and talk tracks

What the job involves

• This role owns the content and programming engine behind Harvey's global events, most notably FORUM, Harvey's conference series convening leaders from across the legal profession to explore how AI, new operating models, and shifting talent dynamics are reshaping how legal teams work
• You will shape what attendees actually see, hear, and experience across every touchpoint of the program: the executive narrative, the speaker lineup, the session design, and the editorial bar that makes every edition feel unmistakably Harvey
• This spans a wide range of content formats: keynotes, breakout sessions, partner-led sessions, and activations, all of which need to work together as one coherent program
• This role sits at the intersection of content, product marketing, and executive engagement, and is critical to ensuring that Harvey FORUM delivers a high-quality moment for customers, prospects, and the legal community, while driving deeper engagement with Harvey's products
• Success in this role comes from strong editorial and storytelling instincts, sharp project management, sound judgment under ambiguity, and comfort operating close to executives and customers under tight timelines
• Curate the full agenda: session descriptions, breakout talk tracks, and content across multiple stages, ensuring every session earns its place on the program and ladders up to the event's strategic goals
• Project manage the Harvey Product Keynote end to end, working with Product and Product Marketing to determine which products get showcased and how
• Source, manage, and prepare speakers from outreach through rehearsal: scheduling calls, shaping talking points, running rehearsals, and ensuring every speaker is set up to succeed on stage
• Partner with Customer Engagement to identify and curate customer stories that can be shaped into compelling on-stage content
• Coordinate evening entertainment and activation programming, ensuring off-stage moments are as considered and on-narrative as the main program
• Build and maintain the systems, trackers, and playbooks (run-of-show, session trackers, speaker databases) that bring rigor to programming and let it scale across editions and geographies
• Analyze post-event data and feedback to inform content strategy, speaker selection, and format decisions for future editions
• Deliver clear, organized status updates to Leadership on programming progress, risks, and open decisions
• Partner cross-functionally across Production, Marketing, and Enablement to make sure content decisions translate cleanly into the live event experience
