Full Job Description
About the Role

The Event Coordinator will support the full production lifecycle of Dorsia's events, from intimate member dinners to large-scale brand moments, bringing ambitious concepts to life with precision, taste, and operational rigor. This is a hands-on production role for someone who lives in the details; someone who can wire a run-of-show, negotiate a vendor contract, spec out an AV setup, and build an event calendar all in the same week.

You'll serve as the connective tissue between Brand, Partnerships, Membership, and external production companies, ensuring every event meets Dorsia's standards for quality, taste, and member experience.
What You'll Do
Event Production & Execution
  • Support end-to-end production for Dorsia events, from concept handoff through post-event wrap.
  • Produce events across a range of scales, from curated dinners to full multi-vendor productions with staging, lighting, and live programming.
  • Translate creative concepts and brand vision into detailed production plans, run-of-show documents, and timelines.
  • Facilitate all on-site execution, including load-in, show flow, guest experience, and strike.
  • Maintain a forward-looking event calendar, managing sequencing, lead times, and resource allocation across simultaneous productions.
  • Own post-event recaps, learnings, and recommendations to continuously improve future executions.
Vendor & Production Partner Management
  • Act as primary point of contact between Dorsia and external production teams, vendors, and freelancers.
  • Manage vendor contracts including AV, staging, lighting, fabrication, décor, staffing, security, and catering.
  • Ensure production partners deliver on scope, budget, timeline, and brand expectations.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues onsite with confidence.
Budgeting & Operations
  • Support event production budgets, tracking spend, and ensuring alignment with financial goals.
  • Track spend in real time and proactively flag risks to financial goals.
  • Identify opportunities to scale production efficiently without compromising quality.
  • Manage production schedules, asset tracking, and logistics across multiple events.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Brand Marketing, Partnerships, and Business Development to align event goals and storytelling.
  • Work closely with internal creative teams to ensure physical environments reflect Dorsia's aesthetic and tone.
  • Collaborate with Membership and Ops teams to ensure guest experience and hospitality execution are seamless.
Experience & Quality Control
  • Act as a steward of the Dorsia brand in physical spaces, ensuring events feel premium, intentional, and thoughtfully curated
  • Anticipate risks and proactively problem-solve in fast-moving, high-pressure environments
The Winning Recipe
  • 3-5 years of experience in event production, experiential marketing, or live events.
  • Experience producing large-scale, high-production events with hands-on knowledge of AV, lighting, sound, and staging.
  • Proven ability building and owning an event calendar with multiple concurrent work streams.
  • Experience managing six-figure+ event budgets.
  • Strong negotiation and vendor management skills.
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented with strong project management skills.
  • Strong taste level and instinct for premium hospitality, culture, and brand environments.
  • Willing to be hands-on, no task is too small when it comes to event execution.
