Events and Marketing Manager

🌐 Who We Are

Bankjoy is a Y Combinator and Bessemer Venture Partner backed FinTech startup. We are changing the way community banks and credit unions do business, enabling them to become tech-driven and digital first. Bankjoy provides modern digital banking products including mobile banking, online banking, online account opening, loan origination, and conversational AI. Our mission is to revolutionize banking tech infrastructure by leading digital transformation at financial institutions — big and small.

You'll also be a hands-on partner across webinars, social media, and content.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong background in corporate event planning, vendor management, budgeting, and stakeholder collaboration, who thrives on details, takes ownership from start to finish, and knows how to tie every event back to business results. If you know the credit union or fintech world, even better.
