Job description

Collectors is the leading creator of innovative technology that provides value-added services for collectors worldwide. We grade, authenticate, vault, and sell millions of record-setting collectibles, all while modernizing and digitalizing the process to further our mission of helping collectors pursue their passions. We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our growing team. Our services span collectible trading cards, autographs, comic books, coins, video games, event tickets, and memorabilia. Our subsidiaries include PSA, PCGS, Beckett, SGC, and Card Ladder. Since our founding in 1986, we have graded and authenticated millions of items.

As part of our interview process, we request that candidates have their cameras on during video interviews.

• Keep event costs within an allocated budget, communicating any financial risks to the Event Director as soon as possible.
• Properly plan the details and anticipate potential problems that may arise.
• Create booth and room layouts that include traffic flow, queue space, and electrical and internet drop placement for each event.
• Travel to manage events onsite as needed throughout the year, including set up and tear down per event.
• Audit event websites for all shows that Beckett will be attending, ensuring that show organizers are following all brand guidelines and that services, prices, and specials are accurate per event.
• Lead by example and be a champion of all company policies, including safety, attendance & security
