What is Bilt?
Bilt is the membership for where you live.
What started as a way to reward people on their largest expense has turned into an ecosystem connecting our members, property managers and local merchants. Travel, dining, fitness, everyday spend. We are building systems across payments, credit, loyalty, and commerce all at once.
We run lean and move quickly. Every person here has a real impact on what gets built and how fast it happens.
This role comes with real ownership and high expectations. If you prefer clearly defined lanes and structure, this will feel uncomfortable. If you want to build quickly, have a real say in what gets built, and work on products used by millions, you will likely do your best work here.

- Develop relationships and work closely with internal partners to ensure the events you produce ladder up to broader company goals that help grow our partner network through thoughtful, white glove, and bespoke experiences.
- Manage Partner and Vendor Relationships:
- Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors, partners, and external stakeholders to flawlessly execute events and ensure Bilt's high standards are met
-
Negotiate contracts with vendors to optimize value and maintain budget efficiency, without sacrificing quality or experience

At Bilt Rewards, we believe in transparency and we do our best to make sure the company and our candidates are on the same page as it relates to compensation. In addition to posting salary ranges for our open roles, candidates should expect to be asked about compensation expectations and requirements early on in their interview process. Our goal is to highlight when expectations and Bilt’s salary range may be out of sync, and work with the candidate to determine whether it makes sense to continue conversations.
We are considering candidates with differing levels of expertise for this position. Leveling will be based upon your experience and performance in the interview process.
Where a new hire falls within a range will be based on their individual skills and experience, and how these competencies compare across other employees in the same role. Bilt's bands are designed to allow for individual compensation growth within the role. As such, new hires typically start at the lower end of the range. Bilt rewards performance and outcomes - should you join the company, you will have the opportunity to grow your salary over time.

Which companies sponsor visas for events professionals in New York?
Major hospitality and entertainment organizations are among the most active sponsors for events roles in New York. Live Nation, Madison Square Garden Entertainment, Marriott International, Hyatt, and large convention management companies such as Freeman have documented histories of sponsoring H-1B visas for events coordinators and managers. Corporate event teams at financial institutions and media companies in Manhattan also sponsor for specialized production and logistics roles.
Which visa types are most common for events roles in New York?
The H-1B is the most common visa for events roles that require a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as hospitality management, communications, or marketing. The O-1B can apply to individuals with extraordinary achievement in live entertainment production or creative event design. Australians working in events may qualify for the E-3 visa. The specific visa that applies depends entirely on the role, the employer, and the individual's qualifications.
Which cities in New York have the most events sponsorship jobs?
Manhattan concentrates the majority of events sponsorship activity in New York, driven by the density of hotels, convention venues, corporate headquarters, and entertainment companies. Brooklyn has grown as a hub for experiential and brand events. The Hamptons support a seasonal events market tied to hospitality and private event production. Outside New York City, Buffalo and Albany have smaller but active events markets connected to hospitality groups and convention centers.
How to find events visa sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate is a job board built specifically for international candidates seeking visa sponsorship in the United States. You can filter directly for events roles in New York to see employers who are actively hiring and have sponsorship history. Because many events positions are project-based or seasonal, checking Migrate Mate regularly gives you visibility into new postings as they open across venues, agencies, and corporate event teams throughout the state.
Are there any state-specific considerations for events professionals seeking sponsorship in New York?
New York's prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules reflect the high cost of living in the metro area, so employers must offer wages that meet Department of Labor standards for the specific role and location. Events roles classified as specialty occupations need a clear degree requirement tied to the position. New York also has strong hospitality and event management programs at institutions like NYU and Cornell, which create pipeline relationships between universities and sponsoring employers.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored events jobs in New York?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
