We look for people who take pride in what they do, who are excited by change and always moving forward. The kind of people who stay open, keep learning, and look for better ways to make an impact.

If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.
A bit about the role
We are hiring a VIP Delegate Acquisition Manager to help build and deliver the hosted buyer programme for Fintech Meetup Europe. You’ll focus on recruiting high‑quality participants across three core categories: 1) Banks & Financial Institutions, 2) Retailers & Merchants, and 3) Investors. This is a hands‑on, outreach‑focused role ideal for someone who enjoys community building, data‑driven lead generation, and cultivating senior relationships. You’ll help identify, engage, and onboard 350+ hosted buyers who commit to participating in pre‑scheduled 1:1 meetings during the event. You’ll work closely with our Sales, Marketing, Content, and Ops teams to ensure hosted participants align with sponsor priorities, enjoy a high‑quality experience, and ultimately help drive successful commercial outcomes. This role is critical to the success of Fintech Meetup Europe’s hosted buyer programme, which underpins the event’s unique value proposition and drives ROI for both sponsors and attendees. By securing and supporting high‑quality decision‑makers across banking, retail, and investment, you will ensure the delivery of thousands of curated, high‑impact meetings, helping to differentiate the event in a competitive market and directly contributing to its commercial performance and brand credibility.

About Fintech Meetup Europe
Fintech Meetup Europe is the most efficient way for the region’s fintech ecosystem to connect, learn, and do business. Built by the team behind Fintech Meetup USA, this new launch brings our industry‑defining meetings model to Europe for the first time, powered by our proprietary platform that delivers over 25,000 double opt‑in connections. At the centre of the event is Europe’s largest hosted meetings programme for fintech, bringing together more senior decision‑makers from banks, financial institutions, retailers, merchants and investors than any other fintech event in the region.

- Deliver outreach campaigns via email, LinkedIn, and calls, following up to secure attendee commitments
- Manage hosted onboarding, logistics comms, and pre‑event engagement to ensure successful participation

- Track progress against hosted buyer targets, flag risks early, and suggest solutions
- Support hosted programming onsite at Fintech Meetup Europe, including check‑in and meeting flow
- Keep CRM and reporting tools up to date to track outreach and programme performance
Here’s what we’re looking for from you:
- 5+ years’ experience in B2B community management, hosted buyer recruitment, delegate sales, or VIP engagement (ideally in events, media, or fintech)
- Confident communicating with senior stakeholders and sharing the value of the hosted experience
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail and CRM discipline
- Comfortable managing outreach pipelines and delivering against targets
- Positive, proactive, and collaborative – a self‑starter who thrives in a fast‑paced, team‑focused environment
- Interest or background in fintech, financial services, payments, retail, or investment is a plus
