Project Management & Workflow Tracking

• System Administration: Utilize Asana to maintain project timelines, operational checklists, meeting agendas, and team deliverables.
• Speaker Logistics: Manage speaker tracking databases, organize presentation slide decks, and ensure all session assets are collected on schedule.

Logistical & Administrative Support

• Shipping & Inventory: Lead operational prep, including packing, labeling, shipping, and tracking event materials, signage, and collateral.
• Vendor & Venue Coordination: Assist with hotel room blocks, venue logistics, room setups, catering arrangements, and audio/visual (AV) requirements.
• Financial Tracking: Maintain invoice records, process purchase orders, assist with budget documentation, and help reconcile post-event expenses.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years of hands‑on operational and administrative experience supporting corporate events, conferences, or large-scale meetings.
• Event Software Expertise: Demonstrated proficiency with Cvent (or comparable event management software such as Splash, Bizzabo, or Eventbrite).
• Project Management Tools: Strong experience utilizing Asana (or similar tools like Trello, Monday.com, or Smartsheet) for daily task tracking and team workflows.
• Software Tools: Intermediate‑to‑advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook) and SharePoint.
• Key Skills: High attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a process-driven approach to tracking deliverables.
• Travel & Location: Ability to work onsite in Omaha, NE, Tuesday through Thursday, with flexibility to travel occasionally to support onsite event operations as needed.
