• Provide internal operations and marketing support, including updating the website (Squarespace), newsletters (HubSpot), and occasional social media posts (LinkedIn & Instagram).

• Assist with general “all hands on deck” needs during event weeks.

Required:

• At least 1 year of experience in event coordination, planning, production, or related roles (internships or volunteer experience welcome).

• Proven ability to manage priorities, meet deadlines, and follow through.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills — professional, proactive, and clear.

• Strong organizational and time management skills with a focus on accuracy and attention to detail.

• Comfortable with Google Workspace, Zoom, and project management tools; quick to learn new platforms.

• Ability to travel for events and work occasional evenings and weekends with advance notice.

• Proven ability to work independently in a remote environment while taking responsibility for assigned tasks and outcomes.

Mindsets We Value:

• Detail-driven & logistics-focused — thrives on structure, double-checking, and ensuring nothing is missed.

• Calm under pressure — solutions-focused and proactive when challenges arise.

• Flexible & adaptable — adjusts quickly to shifting priorities and timelines.

• Collaborative & service-oriented — takes pride in supporting teammates, clients, and event guests. 

• Clear communicator — professional, kind, and direct with teammates, vendors, and clients.

• Accountable & growth-oriented — takes ownership, follows through, and is eager to learn and expand responsibilities.

Performance & Growth

• Annual performance reviews with potential for rate increases and project-based bonuses.

• Clear accountability expectations tied to communication, deadline management, and quality of work.
