at Liz Page Associates

🏢 About Liz Page Associates

Liz Page Associates is a boutique special event consulting firm with over 30 years of experience producing high-impact events for nonprofits, academic institutions, and corporate clients. They focus on mission-driven events that advance fundraising and public relations, offering a unique opportunity to work with executive leadership and create transformative experiences.

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.

💡 A Day in the Life

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.

🎯 Who Liz Page Associates Is Looking For

  • Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail, able to juggle multiple deliverables simultaneously
  • Proactive problem-solver who enjoys finding creative solutions under tight deadlines
  • Comfortable working remotely but willing to travel for in-person events, site visits, and meetings (Boston-based preferred)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience supporting executive-level stakeholders
