• Contribute to post-event reconciliation such as collecting event photos, gathering feedback, assisting with performance data collection (attendance, engagement, spend), and helping to build post-event recap documentation with insights.
• Maintain and improve internal systems, templates and trackers to make the event team more efficient and scalable.
• Stay aware of pop culture, fandom, retail trends and experiential marketing innovations to support fresh, relevant event ideas.

• Strong administrative, organizational and time-management skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to multitask across multiple event projects, meet deadlines, take ownership, and follow through on deliverables.
• Familiarity with vendor management and event logistics (venue research, agency and vendor outreach, fabrication, RFPs, quotes, contracts, and timelines) is a plus.
• Comfort with creating budgets and spreadsheets, tracking costs, monitoring invoices, and contributing to financial reconciliation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable documenting meetings, creating presentation materials and post-recap decks, and interacting with cross-functional teams and external partners.
