Events Lead - APAC

Flagright is an AI operating system for financial crime compliance used globally by Fortune 500 companies, large banks, fintechs, and fast-growing financial technology companies. Flagright enables real-time risk detection, automated investigations, and intelligent decisioning, helping compliance teams operate at their full potential in the fight against financial crime.

We operate as a lean, high-performance team with high individual ownership and direct access to leadership.

Our Marketing team drives Flagright’s presence across target markets. From executive engagements to field programs and client facing events, we help financial institutions understand why modern compliance teams operate differently.

We are hiring an Events Lead - APAC to own event strategy and execution across priority APAC markets. This role will be responsible for planning and running high quality regional events, executive dinners, customer roundtables, partner activations, and selective industry gatherings that support enterprise pipeline creation and acceleration.

You will partner closely with Sales, ABM, GTM, Content, and Marketing Ops to ensure APAC events are not standalone activities, but part of a focused commercial motion. The goal is not to run more events. The goal is to get the right people in the room, create useful market moments, and drive measurable account progression.

Events Leads at Flagright are strategic and hands on. You will be expected to travel, manage vendors, coordinate with internal teams, execute high-impact programs, measure outcomes, and continuously improve how we show up in-market.

• Have been knocked down before and gotten back up

• Are resourceful — they figure things out with whatever tools are available

• Have strong opinions and can defend them

• Learn fast because they’re hungry

• Need extensive hand-holding

• View high expectations as “unreasonable”

• Can’t handle ambiguity or rejection

• Prefer consistent routine over fast-changing priorities

I would remove “Actually prioritize work-life balance” from public JDs. If the company insists on keeping the tone consistent, keep it. But I would not recommend it.
