The American Society of Hematology (ASH) is the world’s largest professional society of hematologists, dedicated to advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of blood disorders. Since its founding in 1958, ASH has played a vital role in shaping hematology as a discipline and continues to lead with impact through groundbreaking research, education, and convenings. For more than six decades, ASH’s Annual Meeting has served as the premier scientific and educational event in the field — bringing together more than 30,000 professionals from around the globe.

 ASH is seeking a dynamic and strategic leader to serve as Director, Meetings Strategy. This pivotal role partners closely with the Chief Event Strategy Officer to lead the vision, planning, and execution of ASH’s high-profile meetings portfolio, ensuring the realization of its full business potential. This new Director will align ASH’s organizational strategy with event planning to drive measurable results and focusing on overall effectiveness without the direct responsibility for the implementation of meeting logistics. 

Monitoring multi-million-dollar budgets, this leader is responsible for driving operational excellence, innovative business strategies, and data-informed decisions that enhance the impact and reach of ASH-hosted events. Key responsibilities include guiding internal teams and external partners in creating events with enterprise impact, cultivating high-value vendor and venue relationships, and leading major contract negotiations to ensure long-term value, financial sustainability and audience centricity. This is an extraordinary opportunity to help shape the future of one of the world’s most respected scientific convenings, and contribute meaningfully to ASH’s global mission.

ASH has a hybrid work environment in downtown Washington, DC whereby eligible positions may work remotely on Mondays and Fridays, and all staff report to the office Tuesday through Thursday each week.
