Assistant Event Manager Jobs in Kent, WA (NOW HIRING)

Cadence 3 is a woman-owned marketing, events, and content agency that builds strategy-led programs for discerning clients and some of the biggest brands in technology.

We do not measure success by what we produced, where we showed up, or how many tasks were completed. We measure success by the impact and outcomes we help our clients achieve.

Our work sits at the intersection of strategy, marketing, customer experience, content, and execution. We build brands, campaigns, programs, and experiences that create connection, drive engagement, support sales and marketing goals, and turn important moments into momentum.

The Event Manager will work closely with clients, vendors, internal teams, and event partners to deliver high-quality experiences while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
