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.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a virtual events coordinator, and why are they important?

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. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and adaptability are standout soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure seamless event execution, positive attendee experiences, and the ability to handle unexpected challenges in a remote environment.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals coordinating virtual events, and how can they be addressed?

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.

Job description

THE ROLEย 

CTC's Talent Acquisition team is growing, andย we'reย adding aย Campusย Relationsย & Eventsย Associateย toย execute ourย fullย calendar of campus-relatedย events.ย ย ย 

You'll be the person who keeps CTC's relationships with career centers, faculty, and student organizationsย activeย year-round, and who runs theย full mix ofย eventsย - office visits,ย campusย info sessions,ย andย virtual eventsย - thatย put CTC in front of the right students at the right time.ย Like everyone on ourย campus team,ย you'llย be team-first: this roleย isn'tย limited toย what'sย listed below, andย we'reย looking for someone who jumps in wherever the team needs a hand.ย 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

University Relations & Partnershipsย 

  • Own and grow CTC's relationships with careerย centersย andย student organizations across our target campuses -ย you'reย the familiar, trusted face they hear from consistently, not just during peak season.ย 
  • Serve as CTC's primary point of contact for student organization partnerships and sponsorships, negotiating terms and maintaining the relationship year-round.ย 
  • Track relationship health and engagement across schools and flag opportunities or gaps to the Campus Recruiter and Campus Program Manager.ย 
  • Identify and help develop new partnership opportunities across target campuses - new student organizations, academic departments, or affinity groups where CTC doesn't yet have a presence.ย 

Event Executionย 

  • Coordinateย and run CTC's campus events calendar - info sessions, coffee chats,ย tradingย competitions,ย office visits, and Super Day support -ย handling everything from planningย logisticsย to day-of execution.ย 
  • Track and manage metrics for each event (attendance, pipeline generated, conversion) and run post-event lookbacks, sharing what worked and didn't work with the team to improve future events.ย 
  • Project-manage event logistics end-to-end: venue/vendor coordination, materials and swag, travel, and on-site staffing - partnering with the Recruiting Coordinator where scheduling overlaps and making sure every event runs without a hitch.ย 

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORย 

  • Bachelor's degree (all majors and concentrations welcome)
  • 1+ย years of experience in campus recruiting,ย recruiting coordination,ย orย eventย planning
  • A natural relationship-builderย who builds credibility quickly with students, studentย organizationย leaders, andย careerย centers
  • Highly organized with strongย attentionย toย detail; able to manage multiple schools, events, and partners simultaneouslyย 
  • A team-first mentalityย ย ย 
  • Proficient and comfortableย tracking event andย partnershipย metrics andย using data to evaluate what workedย andย didn'tย workย 
  • Minimal travel required
  • Experience working with an ATS, preferably Greenhouse, a plus
