Event Manager

Event Manager

OVERVIEW

RCFRE LLC dba raisingcapital.com is a Los Angeles-based real estate education business on a mission to empower real estate entrepreneurs to achieve the portfolio size of their dreams by supercharging their ability to raise capital.

Our Event Manager will be a key member of our growing team, managing and executing our event strategy alongside our founder Hunter Thompson.

In addition to his background in real estate investing running the private equity firm Asym Capital, Hunter has a significant background in the online marketing space - he won the prestigious Two Comma Club Award from ClickFunnels in just 9 months after launching. He is also a member of Russell Brunson’s Inner Circle, is author of the book Raising Capital for Real Estate, and hosts one of the highest rated commercial real estate podcasts, Cash Flow Connections.

This role offers the opportunity to own and manage our marketing events including both our hosted and sponsored events. You’ll oversee our 3 annual in-person events: RaiseFest (500+ attendees), Mastermind in Paradise (50+ attendees), and RaiseMasters Retreat (200+ attendees) along with our 4 annual virtual summits. You’ll also be responsible for driving demand through our 2-3 sponsored events per year (ex. Best Ever Conference).

Check out the from our most recent retreat to see what types of events you’ll be putting on!

We have accomplished some exciting things, but we are a small team, and you’ll need an entrepreneurial attitude to succeed at our company. Though the focus of the role is to manage our event marketing initiatives in partnership with Hunter and our third-party agencies and contractors, you will need to be able to flow seamlessly between thinking big picture (strategy) and rolling up your sleeves (execution).
