Job Summary

Plan and execute company-hosted events from venue sourcing through post-event wrap-up, managing vendor relationships, contracts, and ongoing communication. Coordinate event staffing, shipping, setup, execution, and teardown while creating project plans, timelines, budgets, and checklists. Track costs, process invoices, and report expenses against approved budgets. Serve as the on-the-ground point of contact at events, handling real-time problem-solving and ensuring brand consistency across touchpoints. Work cross-functionally with marketing, growth, delivery, and leadership to ensure seamless event delivery. Requires 3–6 years of corporate event planning experience, including government or military events, with a bias toward action. Full-time remote role in the USA with a compensation range of $116,875–$158,125 USD.

Required Qualifications

  • 3–6 years of experience in corporate event planning
  • Experience supporting government conferences, military events, or federal customers
  • Strong project management and organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple events simultaneously and adapt when priorities shift mid-stream
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience working across marketing, sales, and external vendors
  • Willingness to travel as needed for events
  • A bias toward action: when something needs figuring out, you figure it out
  • A genuine interest in the mission to get software to warfighters
  • Highly organized to ensure details are addressed and deliverables are shipped
  • Comfortable shifting between heads-down planning work and high-energy event execution
  • Reliable follow-through: when you say it's handled, it's handled
  • Direct and clear in written and verbal communication, even when delivering bad news
  • Able to work asynchronously with a distributed team while keeping stakeholders in the loop without being asked
  • Composed under pressure: events rarely go exactly to plan, and you don't spiral when they don't
  • Receptive to feedback and willing to flag problems early rather than quietly hoping they resolve themselves
  • Travel 4-10 times per year to attend events and in-person meetings

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in the defense, national security, or gov-tech space
  • Familiarity with CRM and marketing automation platforms (such as HubSpot)
