Content and Programming Senior Manager, Global Events

About the role

You own the content and programming engine behind Harvey's global events, most notably FORUM, defining the attendee experience from the executive narrative and speaker lineup to session design and editorial bar. You will shape what attendees see, hear, and experience across every touchpoint of the program, ensuring cohesion and impact. This role demands strong editorial instincts and storytelling ability to distill complex legal and product priorities into a compelling narrative. You will operate at high speed with clarity, making decisive judgments based on limited information to keep the program aligned with strategic goals. Success requires comfort working closely with executives and customers under tight timelines while maintaining rigorous quality. You will build and manage the systems and playbooks that allow the program to scale across editions and geographies without losing its distinct Harvey character. This is a rare opportunity to build a generational event platform at a company experiencing significant inflection and growth.
