About This Role
As an Event Coordinator, you'll be the operational backbone supporting multiple project managers and clients, handling logistics, timelines, and vendor coordination. This entry-level role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, remote environment and enjoys creative problem-solving while contributing to meaningful events.

Your day might start with a team check-in via Zoom, followed by updating timelines for three different client events. You'll coordinate with vendors for a gala, draft run-of-show documents, and troubleshoot a last-minute AV request—all while fielding emails from project managers. Afternoons could involve a site visit to a Boston venue or researching new caterers for an upcoming conference.
