Job description

Events & Operations Coordinator – Ohio Economic Development Association | Remote (Ohio residents only) $50,000–$58,000

OEDA is hiring an Events & Operations Coordinator to serve as the organizational backbone of one of the nation's top state economic development associations. This is a hybrid operations role. Events management is the primary focus (40%), but you’ll also coordinate financial processes, administer technology systems, support executive leadership, and keep seven committees running smoothly. Ideal for someone who loves orchestrating great events but is equally energized by variety.

Why OEDA?

We’ve grown 50% in the past year to 900+ members, making us the 3rd largest state ED association in the country. Our 2025 Summit set records across the board. This growth has enabled us to bring critical functions in‑house, and this role is central to that transition.

What we’re looking for:

• 3‑5 years of events management experience
• Proven remote work track record
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Tech‑savvy with AMS platform experience

What we offer:

• Highly flexible remote schedule
• Health insurance, retirement plan, professional development allowance
• Cell phone and internet reimbursement
• Laptop and peripherals of your choice

Apply by January 20, 2026 with resume and cover letter to [e-mail].

We expect to hire this by the end of January with the selected candidate being able to start as soon as possible.
