Responsibilities:

• Partner with the Events team and cross-functional stakeholders to plan and deliver experiences that feel cohesive, welcoming, and on-brand
• Lead pre-planning activities including objectives and success metrics, audience and experience strategy, venue/vendor sourcing, and feasibility
• Own vendor sourcing and selection, including RFP/RFI development, scope alignment, contract negotiation, and partner onboarding
