To thrive as a Virtual Events Coordinator, you need strong organizational abilities, attention to detail, and experience in event planning or project management, often supported by a relevant degree or certification. Familiarity with virtual event platforms (such as Zoom, Hopin, or Webex), registration tools, and basic audiovisual technology is typically required.

Coordinating virtual events often involves navigating technical difficulties, ensuring attendee engagement, and managing communication across remote teams. Common challenges include troubleshooting platform issues in real-time, keeping participants interactive in an online setting, and coordinating schedules across different time zones. To address these, many professionals conduct thorough platform testing beforehand, incorporate interactive elements like polls or breakout sessions, and establish clear communication protocols with both internal teams and event participants. Flexibility and proactive problem-solving are key skills for success in this role.

What are virtual events?

Virtual events are gatherings that take place online rather than in a physical location. They can include conferences, webinars, workshops, trade shows, and networking events, allowing participants to connect and interact via digital platforms. Virtual events often feature live streaming, interactive sessions, chat tools, and digital content sharing, making them accessible to a global audience. They have become increasingly popular due to their convenience, cost-effectiveness, and ability to reach wider audiences.

Job description

Head of Virtual Events/Experiences

About Riley

Riley is on a mission to create happier and more engaged teams. For ages, offices have played a major part in company culture and now that workplace trends have accelerated towards remote and hybrid teams, we're here to fill the void left by the rituals and experiences that used to be shared in person. Riley's answer is a platform that combines experienced, service-minded individuals with technology to create a new way to connect with employees and keep them engaged and happy.

A huge part of Riley's mission is to provide diverse job opportunities and career advancement paths for individuals of all backgrounds.

The Role

This role is ideal for someone who is eager to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new startup. This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to take ownership and gain knowledge across multiple aspects of a business. You will wear many hats and must be comfortable knowing that no two days are alike. You'll be asked to collaborate directly with both Co-Founders and your feedback will be instrumental in shaping the foundation of the company. While your responsibilities will be broad, the primary responsibilities will include:

  1. Creating Event Programming/Experiences
    1. Riley's clients expect curated and thoughtful events to keep their teams engaged and interested so we need someone who likes to think out of the box to create novel, fun, and worthwhile virtual events. You'll be instrumental in sourcing, organizing, and coordinating events for clients and also building the database of events for the future.
    2. Riley seeks to recreate some of the rituals that are missed from the physical office, such as acknowledgment of birthdays or special occasions. As head of events/experiences, we'll need someone who can fill this void by offering up interesting ways for companies to reimagine these types of employee experiences.
  2. Liaising With Co-Founders
    1. As we grow Riley, we're hoping to find a motivated individual who's interested in learning what works and what doesn't and isn't afraid to share valuable feedback. You'll be instrumental in sharing ideas that will be implemented in all facets of the business including marketing, operations, and training.
  3. Team Building
    1. As one of our first employees, the expectation will be that you will grow into a leadership role in a short period of time. This means we're looking for someone who's up for a challenge and isn't afraid to learn new things and is eager to not only learn, but also to teach and lead by example.

We show a strong preference for those with a demonstrated, scrappy, customer service oriented bend.

*For this role, you will be reporting to Manhattan five days a week during regular business hours (8:00AM-5:00PM).

Who You Are

  1. A solid human being....you do things the right way and won't compromise your morals.
  2. Events experience of 1-3 years highly preferred. Track record showing you've coordinated events (ideally virtual) or experiences for offices and their employees.
  3. Hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants) experience a plus.
  4. Ideally you've managed people in the past. Not a deal-breaker, but at some point you'll be in charge of a team, so experience helps.
  5. You're super organized - you even surprise yourself with how you stay on top of everything.
  6. You're high energy - the more you have to do, the happier you are.
  7. You're a people person who truly cares about keeping the team happy, and have been known to go above and beyond to make sure of that.
  8. You're mature enough to take the work seriously, no matter how tedious the task.

  • Health benefits
