We’re seeking a dynamic Events & Community Manager to help establish Rho as the go-to banking platform for startup founders by spearheading our presence in the Miami startup ecosystem and cultivating meaningful relationships within the South Florida VC and founder community

You’ll need to speak the language of startups fluently, bringing enough operational and investment knowledge to earn credibility and build meaningful relationships with seasoned operators and investors
You’ll also need to know the rhythm of this market: when founders are around and when they’re not, where they actually gather, and which amplifiers put Rho in front of the most people the fastest

Community Building: Foster relationships with VCs, startup founders, and ecosystem builders across Miami and key South Florida markets. Create a network that generates qualified customer leads
Program Excellence: Own end-to-end event planning and execution, including establishing Rho’s presence with at least one major anchor event in the market. Implement scalable systems to maintain quality as programs grow

Create opportunities that expand Rho’s reach
Customer Engagement: Cultivate a vibrant community among Rho customers through targeted programming and exclusive events that strengthen brand loyalty
