  • Ensure event content and speaker information are accurate, polished, and aligned across platforms

Content Review & Quality Control
  • Proofread and review websites, email campaigns, agendas, promotional materials, and event communications
  • Ensure consistency, accuracy, grammar, and overall quality across client-facing materials
  • Help identify and resolve content gaps, inconsistencies, or operational issues before launch
  • Maintain strong attention to detail across all deliverables and communications

Event Operations & Execution
  • Support planning and execution of in-person and virtual events
  • Coordinate across sales, marketing, content/editorial, and operations teams to keep projects moving forward
  • Help manage project timelines, trackers, and event logistics
  • Troubleshoot issues quickly and professionally in a fast-paced environment

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in client services, marketing agencies, events, conference production, account management, or related fields
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Experience working in highly client-facing or agency-style environments preferred
  • Experience coordinating speakers, content, or event logistics is a plus
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously
  • Professional, proactive, and solutions-oriented mindset
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with multiple departments and stakeholders
