  • Building a vendor database that houses event specific information (Catering, SWAG, Hotel, Venue, etc).
  • Creating location-based guides and templates for more efficient planning.
  • Solving for event storage and equipment.
• Provide in person event support for high-impact, leadership-focused, or large team events.
• Manage budgets, vendor payments, contracts and operations, and reporting on spend to ensure payment for vendors.
• Project manage working teams per event (AV, IT, Workplace, Trust & Safety), providing clear direction to improve coordinated efforts and execution.
• Partner with Internal Events Lead to execute company-wide and core specific events.

Qualifications

You Have:

• 3+ years of experience as an events professional or creative role with transferable skills; ideally within fast-pace technology companies.
• Experience supporting a variety of different teams and programs within an organization.
• Intermediate/Advanced level understanding of event management scope and planning process.
