You report directly to Head of Growth.What you will doOwn Chicago hotspot and events strategy end to end: fill the room and win the room.Drive traffic and demand to hotspots and events (venue relationships, partnerships, local demand gen, and coordination with growth on event and hotspot-specific paid), not only convert people after they arrive.Convert attendees into app check-ins.
