Job Summary

Own end-to-end event operations from planning to delivery, leading logistics, budgeting, vendor management, swag, and brand consistency across multiple live events.

  • Oversee master event calendar, procurement, and approvals to keep every event on track.
  • Lead intake and prioritization of new event requests, ensuring clear requirements and timelines.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Event logistics execution
  • Coordinate logistics across trade shows, conferences, roundtables, and hosted customer events, including booth assets, shipping and return handling, exhibitor services, registration, room blocks, staffing schedules, signage, and setup.
  • Track exhibitor deadlines, registration windows, speaker and abstract submissions, and internal handoffs against each event timeline, and flag slippage early rather than reporting it late.
  • Prepare and submit event materials to vendors and organizers, including logos, boilerplate, speaker bios, booth graphics, and lead retrieval orders.
  • Calendar, budget, and purchasing operations
  • Maintain the master event calendar as the single source of truth for dates, owner, line of business, status, and key milestones.
  • Open purchase orders, process invoices, and move vendor paperwork through procurement and legal on a timeline that does not put an event at risk.
  • Keep the budget tracker current for every event, reconcile actuals against plan, and surface variances before they become surprises.
  • Maintain vendor records, contracts, certificates of insurance, and shared event files in a structure where the current version is easy to find and gaps are visible.
  • Support the intake process for new event requests, capturing the detail the team needs to evaluate and prioritize.

Requirements

  • 1 to 3 years of experience in event coordination, marketing coordination, or a comparable operations role. Agency, in-house, association, or hospitality experience all count.
  • Demonstrated ownership of the logistics for at least one event from planning through delivery.
  • Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, business, or a related field preferred.
  • Strong organizational skills and follow-through. You are comfortable holding deadlines, checklists, and handoffs across many active projects at once.
  • High proficiency with Google Suite and working knowledge of events systems (e.g. Salesforce, Cvent) and project management tools (e.g. Asana)
  • Working knowledge of purchasing basics, including POs, invoices, and vendor onboarding, or the appetite to learn them fast.
  • Clear written and verbal communication with vendors, internal partners, and senior stakeholders.
  • Comfortable operating inside an approval process. You ask questions early, escalate before something breaks, and do not sit on a problem.
  • Self-motivated and productive in a remote environment.
  • Willingness to travel to event locations, including occasional evenings and weekends around event dates.
