at American College of Medical Toxicology

🏢 About American College of Medical Toxicology

ACMT is a niche professional association representing board-certified medical toxicologists, offering a unique opportunity to support a specialized community of physicians. Working remotely, you'll contribute to advancing toxicology education and public health through impactful virtual events.

About This Role

This role is the backbone of ACMT's webinar program, managing end-to-end logistics from topic development to post-event on-demand production. Your work directly enables physicians to stay current in toxicology, making a tangible impact on patient care and public health.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start by checking emails and responding to registrant inquiries. Then, review upcoming webinar logistics: confirm speaker availability, prepare Zoom settings, and upload materials. During a live webinar, act as Zoom admin, managing Q&A and troubleshooting. Afterward, process the recording, update metrics, and coordinate with the team for the next event.

  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills to juggle multiple webinars simultaneously, from scheduling to materials preparation.
  • Tech-savvy with hands-on experience in Zoom (including webinar features), Teams, or WebEx, and quick to learn new platforms like GrowthZone or Elevate.
  • Excellent communicator, able to interact professionally with physician members and vendors, and respond promptly to registrant inquiries.
