• Support quarterly partner webinars and ensure consistent branding.

What you will bring to the role

You’re a detail‑oriented planner with strong follow‑through and a passion for running exceptional events.

• 2+ years of experience in event planning or event operations (tech or corporate is a bonus).
• Ability to manage multiple timelines and adapt quickly in a fast‑paced environment.
• A proactive, hunter mindset—resourceful, persistent, and solutions‑oriented.
• Strong research skills and the ability to anticipate potential roadblocks.
• Comfort executing a high volume of events annually.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Proficiency with event management tools and software.
• Creative problem‑solving and an entrepreneurial approach to new challenges.
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Events, Communications, or related field preferred.
