Description
WHO WE ARE:
We Crush Events is the future of corporate events! We manage and execute hundreds of events a year for some of the top companies across the globe. These events include virtual experiences, physical in-person events and a hybrid of both as we pioneer this new form of gatherings!
Our team of kickass event professionals spans across the nation. We are seeking a dynamic and ambitious individual to join our Events team as an Events Coordinator. This position offers a unique opportunity to work closely with the Director of Events, contributing to the planning and execution of corporate events.
WHO YOU ARE:
Our new Events Coordinator is a hungry self-starter looking to learn and work side by side with the Regional Manager of Events producing events from start to finish!
You love talking and listening to people in hopes of figuring out a solution to their problems. You ask a lot of questions.
You get an adrenaline rush every time you cross something off your list.
You don’t just finish your tasks, you crush them.
You have a Type-A personality and probably color-code your closet, or make your bed before you get in it.
You’re used to wearing many hats, and you look great in all of them!
You take initiative, not a backseat.
Your attention to detail is so refined that you could find a needle in a haystack without breaking a sweat.
You must have been a juggler in a past life because now you can multitask like a pro, and you have a black belt in time management!
You always want to be the first to figure “it” out - whatever it is.
You’ve been “in events” for a long time or are just getting started, but a challenge, a risk and something refreshing lights you up.
