Events Coordinator

Think you'd thrive here?

On any given day, you might be finalizing tomorrow's lunch event, selling sponsors for the golf tournament, meeting with a committee, and planning a networking event three months from now. You enjoy the variety and know how to keep multiple priorities moving forward.

You're coordinating sponsorships, timelines, volunteers, budgets, and execution for events at different phases. You like to plan ahead, getting creative, and are unphased by trouble shooting in the moment. You’ve got the vision for how events could look and can translate that vision into partnerships, timelines, and details that actually work. Remaining cool under pressure, anticipating details, and celebrating big wins when it all comes together sounds like your idea of a good time.

Not a fit if: You'd rather be given a checklist than create one. You prefer reacting to what's next instead of planning months ahead. You don't enjoy juggling multiple projects or being accountable for event outcomes.

Potentially perfect if: You're energized by managing competing timelines and multiple moving parts, you spot problems before they become disasters, you bring creative ideas to how events could work better, and you know when to pull in partners to strengthen engagement.
