Posting Description

Position Summary & Overall Purpose

Lenox Advisors is seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Event Coordinator who is passionate about creating exceptional experiences and seeing complex events successfully come to life. This role combines independent ownership with a highly collaborative, team-focused environment. The ideal candidate is someone who can gather input from collaborators, conduct research and site visits, develop creative event concepts, and confidently present recommendations for feedback and approval.

This hybrid role will be based in either Stamford, CT or New York, NY and requires regular travel between both office locations, as key leaders and event stakeholders are based in each office. The standard schedule is at least three days per week in the office, with willingness to support events on site outside of business hours.

Registration & Attendee Management
  • Manage event registration, RSVP tracking, and attendee communications together with the marketing team
  • Prepare registration reports and maintain accurate participant data (e.g., tracking RSVPs and headcount for events)
  • Coordinate event communications (invitations, registration follow ups, "Know Before You Go" emails, etc.)

Stakeholder Collaboration
  • Partner with executive leadership, executive assistants, event host, marketing, and external partners to align on event goals and messaging
  • Serve as a central point of contact across internal teams and vendors
  • Collaborate with marketing on event materials, branding, and communications

Budget & Reporting
  • Support event budget creation and track expenses to ensure cost efficiency
  • Process invoices and vendor payments
  • Deliver post-event reporting including attendance, feedback, and recommendations for improvement

On-Site Operations
  • Oversee onsite execution including registration, vendor coordination, and troubleshooting and coordinate with the event management vendor if one is hired
  • Ensure all event elements run according to plan and meet Lenox quality standards
  • Provide a high-touch, professional experience for advisors, clients, and partners
  • Travel in the NYC & tri-state area required approximately 25% of the time
  • Events will sometimes fall outside of normal business hours

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in event coordination, preferably in corporate, financial services, or professional services environments
  • Proven experience managing multiple events simultaneously with strong attention to detail
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Experience working with executive leadership, senior stakeholders and external partners
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and event management tools/platforms
  • Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Hospitality, or related field preferred

Key Competencies
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong client-service mindset and professionalism
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • High attention to detail and execution excellence
  • Adaptability and ability to troubleshoot in real time
