Job description

About Us:
Four Corners Legacy Law is a growing boutique estate planning law firm serving families throughout the Capital Region and Northern Hudson Valley. Our team is collaborative, supportive, and committed to delivering an experience that clients can't stop talking about.
Through workshops, seminars, networking events, sponsorships, and community outreach, we help families protect what matters most while building meaningful relationships throughout New York.
We are seeking a highly organized, energetic, results-driven Community Events & Engagement Manager to own our community presence, event execution, outreach efforts, and attendance growth initiatives.
This is not an administrative role.
This is a performance-driven position for someone who loves people, thrives on execution, enjoys being out in the community, and wants to make a measurable impact.

Location: HQ in Chatham, NY, Albany Office, PT Remote (Events throughout Capital Region to Northern Dutchess County).

  • This role serves as the connection point between Marketing, Intake, Attorneys, Referral Partners, and the Community.
  • The successful candidate will own event execution from start to finish and will be held accountable to performance metrics and growth goals.
We hire for attitude and character first, and skills second. If you're looking for a place to simply punch the clock, we probably aren't the right fit. But if you want to do meaningful work with people who care deeply about one another and our clients, we'd love to meet you.

  • Deliver a 5-star attendee experience.

Attendance Growth & Booking Support:
  • Assist in driving event attendance.
  • Support registration and confirmation efforts.
  • Work closely with Intake and the Marketing Assistant to maximize attendance.
  • Conduct attendee outreach and reminders.
  • Assist with post-event follow-up.
  • Support workshop and event attendance goals.

Community Outreach & Relationship Development:
  • Build relationships with referral partners and community organizations.
  • Attend networking events and community functions with the owner and alone.
  • Identify speaking opportunities for attorneys.

Marketing Collaboration:
  • Ensure Marketing receives event information in advance.
  • Support event promotion efforts with the Marketing Assistant.
  • Capture photos, videos, and testimonials.
  • Coordinate social media opportunities.
  • Assist with post-event reporting and content collection.

  • Strong communication and relationship-building abilities.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
