Events & Production Coordinator

You'll work directly with the Director to keep a complex, multi-event season running on time and on budget. Across 6 events and dozens of active vendor relationships, there's a lot happening simultaneously — your job is to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. This role lives at the intersection of finance and operations. You'll manage vendor payments and onboarding in Ramp, maintain our event budgets, surface emerging issues before they become fires, and help the Director to stay focused on the right things at the right time. Strong communication and a proactive mindset are as important as technical skills here.
