Program & Event Manager, Foundation and Community

We are looking for a Program & Events Manager to join our team who will be based in our Stamford, CT office. You will organize virtual, in-person, and hybrid events, including internal programs, conferences, fundraisers, and off-site team travel. You will work closely with a collaborative and dynamic team, in a growth-oriented, fast-paced environment. You should have excellent project management skills and be able to consistently deliver an exceptional work product that reflects the mission of Point72 and the philanthropic vision of the founders.

A Career with Point72’s Foundation and Community Team

The Foundation and Community team supports Point72’s Office of Inclusion & Community and Cohen Philanthropies, which includes Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation Foundation and the Amazin’ Mets Foundation.

The Office of Inclusion & Community is responsible for fostering an environment of acceptance, collaboration, and giving at Point72. It supports employee engagement activities such as networking opportunities, volunteer events, and a speaker series, among other programming.

Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation is committed to inspiring philanthropy and community service. We do this by creating awareness, offering guidance, and leading by example to show the world what giving can do. Over the past two decades, Steve and Alex Cohen have given over $1.2 billion through their family Foundation in gifts to organizations that improve children’s healthcare and education, serve the underserved, support the arts, protect the environment, and further Lyme and tickborne disease research. Their giving reflects a personal connection with the causes they champion, however, it isn’t limited to these particular areas.

The Amazin’ Mets Foundation is the official team charity of the New York Mets and was founded by owners Steve and Alex Cohen. The Foundation aims to serve the Mets community and inspire others to make a lasting impact - on and off the field. The Amazin’ Mets Foundation has given over $16 million in grants to support education, expand access to baseball and athletics, build strong communities, and promote health and wellness.
