  • Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with virtual event platforms and digital tools, able to troubleshoot technical issues.
  • Team Player: Collaborative and able to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including marketing and leadership.
  • And, let’s face it, you’re in events; you love the adrenaline rush on the day and pulling off a great show 🙂

    • We’re a young and small, but established company — you can make a real impact, but we’re not in the business of micromanagement.
