Because Great Events Don’t Just Happen – You Make Them Happen.

The Opportunity

You know better than anyone that it takes a village to produce a great event. After all, you’re usually the first person your friends and family ask to help out with events and projects – because you can do it all! Whether it’s organizing the equipment needed and making sure it’s all packed and ready, meeting guests and answering questions or showing up early to set up and staying late to tear down. And with your dedication, creative thinking, and natural charisma, there’s no better person to get things done.

The Corporate Events Specialist is a hands-on role that will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing various corporate events to ensure their success. Everything from assisting with setting up and tearing down to completing administrative tasks. This role requires a self-starter and someone who presents a high degree of professionalism.
