This is a hybrid role 4days/week in our London (Fitzrovia)

About Lorum

The structural conflict at the centre of correspondent banking is not technological. It is economic. Banks earn revenue from their balance sheets: they lend deposits, capture FX spreads, and hold funds as long as it is rational to do so. Clearing, the act of releasing funds quickly and predictably, competes directly with those economics. An institution designed to lend has a structural incentive to hold deposits; an institution designed to clear has an incentive to release them. When one institution does both, clearing loses. The result is unpredictable settlement, trapped capital, and a correspondent network shrinking by design.

Why Lorum

Lorum was founded on a different premise: clearing as the business, not a byproduct. The model has been operational since 2023 and grew 55x in 2025, with USD clearing now the majority of volumes alongside a growing treasury offering. We have applied for a U.S. national trust bank charter. The people we hire now will build the clearing and treasury infrastructure it unlocks.

About the role

We are hiring a Events Manager to own how Lorum shows up in the world: through industry events, our own flagship event, intimate dinners, our CEO's external programs, and the awards and industry relationships that build credibility with the financial institutions we sell to.

This is not a booth-logistics role. The work spans the largest events in banking (Money20/20, Sibos), the smallest (a ten-person dinner with George and a handful of target accounts in London or New York), and eventually an event that is entirely ours. You will work closely with the head of marketing, George, the commercial team, and external partners to translate Lorum's story into rooms where decisions get made.

Key Responsibilities

• Industry events

  • Lead end-to-end planning and execution for Lorum's presence at major events: Money20/20 Europe, Sibos, Money20/20 USA, and others we add

  • Own booth strategy, sponsorship negotiation, agency and vendor management, lead capture infrastructure, and on-site execution

  • Ensure every event produces reusable content by default, with a clear handoff to our content lead and brand designer

  • Build the 2027 events calendar with commercial input, and own the events budget end to end

  The Lorum Summit

  • Build Lorum's own flagship event: an invitation-only gathering for the institutions, platforms, and operators shaping clearing and custody

  • Own the concept, format, venue, agenda, speaker lineup, and production partners

  • Start focused and earn the right to grow: year one might be 60 people in one city, done exceptionally well

  Owned events and executive dinners

  • Build "Evening with Lorum" into a repeatable executive dinner series across London, New York, Singapore, and other priority account clusters

  • Design and run smaller-format activations tied to commercial priorities: roundtables, customer dinners, partner co-marketing events, and virtual roundtables or webinars. 

  • Manage guest lists in partnership with commercial, including invitations, RSVP workflows, on-the-night experience, and post-event follow-up motion

  George's external program and podcast

  • Coordinate speaking opportunities, panel invitations, analyst briefings, press lunches, and fireside chats

  • Prepare briefing docs, and ensure consistent positioning across every appearance

  • Coordinate George's podcast: source and book guests, produce briefing docs and recording schedules, manage show notes and distribution, and coordinate repurposing with the content team

  Awards and industry credibility

  • Own Lorum's awards calendar across Banking Tech, FStech, Payments Awards, and other relevant programs: write submissions, manage deadlines, and coordinate internal sign-off

  • Manage Lorum's memberships and presence in relevant industry associations and working groups
