The Role – Not Your Typical Events Job
This isn’t about planning one-off events. This is about owning the engine behind a high-volume, high-impact recruiting events ecosystem.
We’re looking for an execution-first Events Lead who thrives in fast-moving environments—someone who can juggle logistics, vendors, timelines, and still build structure out of chaos. You’ll be the operational backbone behind recruiting events and intern program experiences, ensuring every event runs flawlessly while quietly building the playbooks that make scaling possible.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Own the Execution
Drive day-to-day logistics across a high-volume portfolio of recruiting and intern-focused events. Manage timelines, coordinate moving pieces, and ensure nothing slips.
Turn Chaos into Process
Translate fast-paced workflows into structured SOPs, checklists, and repeatable playbooks that allow the program to scale seamlessly.
Run Event Tech Like a Pro
Build registration pages, manage attendee tracking, troubleshoot issues, and ensure event platforms run smoothly end-to-end.
Be the Vendor Quarterback
Act as the primary point of contact for venues, catering, AV teams, and external partners—owning coordination, deliverables, and on-site execution.
Track Budgets & Prove Impact
Maintain budget trackers, support financial reconciliation, and lead post-event analysis—turning feedback and data into smarter future events.
Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable)
Event Planning, Vendor Management, Timeline Management, Documentation
What You Bring
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in event coordination, operations, or project management
- Proven experience managing logistics-heavy, high-volume events
- Strong ability to create SOPs, workflows, and scalable processes
- Experience with event platforms (Splash, Cvent preferred)
- Exceptional attention to detail and timeline discipline
- Confidence managing vendors and live, on-site event execution
- Clear, proactive communication style
Bonus Points
- Experience supporting recruiting events, university programs, or intern initiatives
- Exposure to event technology platforms and tools (teachable if not)
Work Setup
- Hybrid role – 3 days/week onsite in San Francisco (415 Mission Street)
- Must be comfortable working in PST time zone
- Flexibility required for event-day schedules
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not just coordination—it’s ownership + scale.
You won’t just execute events—you’ll build the systems that power them.
If you’re someone who loves turning moving pieces into structured execution—and wants to be at the center of a high-impact recruiting engine—this role is built for you.
