• Manage event budgets, ensuring cost-effectiveness and adherence
• Oversee the global event calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts and ensure alignment and coordination among Fitch Group companies

• You are able to work on multiple projects simultaneously
• You possess a team player mindset, adaptable to a fast-paced, changing environment, with the ability to work closely with multiple departments

• Hybrid Work Environment: 3 days a week in office required based on your line of business and location
