The role of Event Planner, Global Events, holds significant importance in StoneX Group's branding and marketing strategy.

These events are crucial for reinforcing StoneX Group's market presence and client engagement, predominantly occurring across North and South America, with occasional international shows. Despite delegating certain responsibilities to supplier partners, the Event Planner must ensure that every event detail is meticulously executed from conception to completion, demonstrating accountability and attention to detail.
This position requires not only superior organizational and project management skills but also collaborative abilities to liaise with venues, destination management companies (DMCs), and other suppliers, while closely working with internal staff to align event goals with company objectives.

Additionally, overseeing vendor payments, reviewing event invitations, and supporting fellow Global Events team members are part of the routine responsibilities.
This onsite role is based in West Des Moines, Iowa, and is suitable for those seeking an entry-level opportunity in event management within the financial services industry. StoneX Group values candidates who demonstrate excellent project management, a robust attention to detail, and the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively. The company offers competitive compensation aligned with regional standards for entry-level roles, and the position involves an estimated 35 percent travel to event sites when necessary.
