Job Description
We are seeking an experienced corporate event professional to lead and execute high-impact events for our Board of Directors, with the goal of elevating the director experience and strengthening engagement with management and employees. This role requires expertise in corporate event planning—not social events—with a focus on delivering polished, strategic, and high-visibility experiences. You will own the full lifecycle of event production, partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to coordinate venues, travel, dining, décor, and communications, while ensuring every detail aligns with executive-level expectations. On-site event management and direct support for directors will be critical to delivering seamless, well-executed events. The ideal candidate brings a bachelor's degree or equivalent corporate experience, along with at least five years of progressive corporate event planning experience managing complex, high-visibility events. Success in this role requires strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. You are detail-oriented, an effective communicator, and excel at building relationships while working both independently and collaboratively. Professional event certification is a plus. We foster a culture where innovation is encouraged. That includes using AI enabled tools responsibly to support everyday work — guided by proven workflows, templates, and policies. As roles become more advanced, we expect employees to leverage AI more broadly to transform how we serve members.
