Events Manager - CFO community & Experiences Lead

About Payflows
Payflows is the AI companion that makes a company's existing ERP AI-native, so finance teams can close faster without the pain of migrating from their legacy tools. Founded in Paris in 2022, we have raised €26M from Balderton, Ribbit Capital and Headline, and work from hubs in Paris, London and New York. We work with mid-cap and large enterprises, private equity firms and organisations helping businesses transform their finance operations.

Why we're hiring

The people shaping the future of enterprise finance are part of a small, connected world. CFOs, finance leaders, private equity investors and consultants trust their peers, value access and want to spend time with people who challenge how they think.

We already bring these people together through AI Labs, where finance teams build with our engineers, and through private dinners and events. Now we want to turn those moments into something bigger: a network people are proud to be part of, a brand people want to be associated with and experiences people don't want to miss.

We need someone to make Payflows exciting in the market. Someone who knows how to create a sense of belonging and exclusivity, build anticipation around what we're doing and make the right people feel like they're on the inside.

This isn't just about organising events. It's about building the Payflows buzz, one great experience and relationship at a time.

The role

You'll build and grow the Payflows community, mostly in person. You'll decide who should be part of it, create reasons for them to come together and make every interaction feel thoughtful, memorable and worth talking about.

You'll be part host, part relationship builder, part brand ambassador and part chief hype person. You'll create the feeling that something interesting is happening at Payflows — from intimate CFO dinners and invite-only AI Labs to larger gatherings, unexpected experiences and collaborations with investors and partners.

You'll work closely with our sales and partnerships teams, who help bring the right people into the network, and directly with our CEO and co-founder. You'll own the details as well as the atmosphere: from the guest list and first invitation to the introductions, follow-up and next reason to meet.

What you'll do

• Make Payflows a place people want to belong. Build a network of CFOs, finance leaders, PE operating partners and consultants who see real value in being connected to Payflows and to each other.

• Create the buzz. Build anticipation around our events, AI Labs and community. Make invitations feel personal and sought-after, give people a reason to talk about what we're doing and create a sense of momentum around the Payflows brand.

• Know who belongs. Work with sales and partnerships to identify the people we want in the room, why they matter and what would make the experience valuable for them.

• Fill the room. Own guest lists, invitations, outreach and follow-up. Build relationships with guests before they arrive and make sure every room has the right mix of people.

• Create experiences people remember. Run intimate dinners, invite-only gatherings, AI Labs and bigger community events, in person and online. Think beyond standard corporate events: the format, venue, details and atmosphere should make each experience distinctive.

• Be the host everyone remembers. Welcome guests, connect people who should know each other, make introductions and ensure nobody feels like an outsider. Make senior people feel genuinely looked after.

• Turn one evening into an ongoing relationship. Follow up, keep conversations alive between events, encourage guests to bring peers and give members reasons to come back. Build a community, not a calendar of one-off events.

• Grow the network and prove its value. Find new cities, partners and formats that extend our reach. Track who attends, who returns, who makes introductions and which relationships create opportunities for Payflows.

What we offer

• A community and brand experience that are yours to build, with our founders, sales and partnerships teams behind you.

• The opportunity to make Payflows one of the most recognised and talked-about networks in enterprise finance and AI.

• A front-row seat to how AI is changing finance, alongside the CFOs, investors and partners leading it.

• A full-time role in our Paris office, with the opportunity to help shape experiences across our international hubs.
