Looking for a community, partnerships, or events role in NYC

Hi everyone 👋 I’m Divya, a community builder and storyteller based in NYC, and so happy to be here! Two years ago, I co-founded Veranda Social to create the kind of rooms I wanted to be in: thoughtfully designed gatherings where people actually connect. We spotlight women-led and POC brands through curated experiences across New York, and I approach every event as a story, from the theme and creative to the content we share afterwards. Since then, we’ve hosted 25+ sold-out events, partnered with 30+ brands, studios, chefs and creators, and built a community where 40% of guests keep coming back. By day, I lead client partnerships at a market research firm, where I also built our client events function from the ground up, running 20+ executive dinners and activations each quarter. I’m now looking for a full-time role that brings both together: community, partnerships or events at a consumer or IRL-focused company in NYC. If your team is hiring, or you know someone I should meet, I’d be so grateful for an intro. Always happy to trade notes on building IRL community and brand partnerships, and if you’re in NYC, I’d love to grab coffee ☕ Looking forward to getting to know you all!
