What You’ll Be Doing (aka Your Superpowers)

🔥 Client & Internal Coordination – Own the communication! You’ll be the go-to person for clients, ensuring they’re always in the loop and feeling confident about the event. No ghosting—timely updates and proactive problem-solving are key!

🔥 Proposal Preparation & Backend Support – You’ll work closely with the management and sales team to compile event proposals and budgets. Expectation details will come from the leadership, and you’ll turn them into well-structured, impactful client proposals, presentations, and cost sheets to ensure clarity in planning.

🔥 Event Planning & Execution – From brainstorming the big idea to making sure every detail is in place, you’ll be running the show. Your goal? Flawless execution with zero last-minute surprises.

🔥 Vendor & Venue Management – You’ll be the bridge between vendors, venues, and our team. That means negotiating, confirming logistics, and ensuring everyone delivers on time.

🔥 Process & Tools Mastery – We love organized chaos, but we love structured systems even more. You’ll use tools like Monday.com to track every moving part of an event and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

🔥 On-Ground Event Supervision – When the big day arrives, you’re in the driver’s seat. From setup to execution, you’ll make sure everything runs like a well-oiled machine, handling any hiccups before they even become hiccups.
