  • Provide customer support to attendees and other event stakeholders.
  • Work closely with internal cross-functional teams for successful execution of events and to meet event goals and objectives.
  • Act as a skilled negotiator with proven experience finding creative ways to do more with less, and a track record of staying on budget.
  • Work with external vendors on the creation and timely delivery of conference deliverables.

Who We Are Looking For

  • 4+ years of event management experience in B2B conferences, ideally in tech
  • Extremely detail-oriented with impeccable project management skills
  • Organized, and able to prioritize and juggle/meet multiple deadlines
  • Concise and effective verbal and written communication with strong attention to spelling and grammar

  • Helpful and humble with a hospitality-driven and service-oriented attitude
  • Ability to adapt to challenges and opportunities with a solution-oriented perspective; excellent strategic thinking and critical reasoning skills
  • Ability to manage tasks, time, and schedule with limited supervision
  • Ability to work collaboratively with clients, vendors, and team members; comfortable interacting with a wide range of community members, from C-level executives to technical programmers
  • Self-motivated — you take pride in your work and performance
  • Excellent relationship-building skills including a team-oriented, positive approach
  • Strong business/office applications proficiency (eg: MS Office, Google Apps, Slack, Zoom, and Asana) and event technologies proficiency (apps, registration, etc.) with a proven ability to pick up new software quickly
  • Proficiency with virtual event/webinar/content hosting platforms (e.g., Accel Events, Hopin, MeetingPlay, Vimeo, Zoom, YouTube, etc.) with a proven understanding of system integrations to support the complex technology landscape needed for large-scale digital events
