Employment Type: Contract

About the Company: Our client is a rapidly growing law firm seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Marketing Events Manager to join their team on a 6-month contract. This role offers the potential to extend as the firm's needs grow. If you have event planning expertise, thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and enjoy managing the behind-the-scenes logistics that ensure events succeed, this could be the role for you!

Key Responsibilities:

Event Planning and Research:

Provide external-facing event support, with occasional internal event coordination.

Conduct extensive research on venues, restaurants, and event swag to design memorable and unique experiences.

Support creative brainstorming for venues, ensuring alignment with organizational brand and appeal to a professional services audience, including knowledge of what's new and on trend regionally and nationally.

Event Execution:

Manage menu planning and food/beverage selection, ensuring dietary needs and nuances are accounted for.

Oversee inventory management, ordering supplies, and packing/shipping event materials.

Handle registration setup in C-Vent and ensure all preparatory tasks for events are completed timely.

Travel onsite for event execution, managing logistics, setup, and breakdown, including some manual labor (e.g., lifting boxes independently).

Collaboration and Administration:

Partner with other Marketing Events Managers to create consistent processes for event execution and documentation.

Build templates, checklists, and resources to streamline logistical planning across the team.

Provide on-video support (frequent video calls) to update and engage with stakeholders across multiple departments.

Use tools such as Salesforce, Smartsheet, and SharePoint for tracking event details and maintaining alignment with collaborators.

Reporting and Analysis:

Track event participation and performance by reporting in Salesforce.

Use data to evaluate the success of events and provide information for post-event reviews.

Requirements

Required Skills:

Event Planning Experience: Proven background in corporate event planning, including menu design, food and beverage selection, and logistics.

Strong Communication Skills: Exceptional written and verbal communication, especially when supporting multiple stakeholders and providing regular updates.

Time Management: Ability to prioritize competing deadlines and pivot quickly from research to action.

Creative Mindset: Knowledge of trending venues, activities, and event options that engage professional audiences.

Organizational Excellence: Comfortable independently handling administrative and operational tasks, especially during the onboarding phase.

Systems Expertise (Preferred):

Salesforce for tracking event details and reporting participation.

Registration Platforms (e.g., C-Vent) for preparing event registration sites.

Proficiency with tools such as Microsoft Office Suite, Smartsheet, and SharePoint.

Familiarity with onsite badge printing technologies like Zebra printers.

Additional Preferences:

Law Firm or Professional Services Experience: Nice to have, though other corporate event planning experience is welcome.

Comfortable working remotely and being on camera frequently for virtual collaboration.

Ability to handle manual tasks like lifting, packing, and event setup independently.

Travel readiness for onsite event execution.

Why Join? This is an exciting opportunity to step into a critical role with a forward-thinking, growing law firm. You will work with a highly collaborative team while having the independence to own projects and make a direct impact. With a focus on corporate event planning and creative input, the role blends strategy, creativity, and logistics.

How to Apply: If you are an experienced Marketing Events Manager looking to jump into a dynamic and fast-paced role, we'd love to hear from you! Submit your resume and a brief cover letter sharing your most successful corporate event experience.
