  • Manage the full logistics checklist across events: venue and vendor coordination, participant invitations and communications, budget tracking, on-site execution, and post-event wrap-up

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated experience managing a high volume of events concurrently
  • Able to hold a large amount of detail across multiple workstreams without losing sight of the big picture

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple stakeholders, competing timelines, and overlapping priorities with confidence
  • Experience coordinating remote individuals, teams, event contributors, and vendors across time zones and cultures
  • Strong experience in logistics, vendor and venue management, and on-site operations
  • Proficiency in project management tools (e.g. Asana, Coda, Airtable)
  • Clear, structured, and proactive communicator comfortable writing external emails, internal briefings, and playbooks
  • Proven ability to operate independently, manage ambiguity, and make sound judgement calls under pressure

Benefits:

  • comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
  • generous paid time off and holidays
  • work-related travel and equipment expenses covered
