  • Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Security, and Janitorial teams to support event logistics.
  • Ensure all events comply with building policies, permitting requirements, and insurance guidelines.
  • Maintain organization of event storage areas, supplies, and programming materials.

Marketing & Content Support

  • Work with the Marketing team to support promotion of events and activations.

  • 1-3 years of experience with event management in event coordination, hospitality, venue management, or experiential marketing (including internships or contract roles).
  • Strong organizational and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Experience working in guest-facing or hospitality environments.
  • Ability to work collaboratively across teams while also operating independently when needed.
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, live-event environment.
