About The Position

As an Associate, Events at Valence you'll be the operational backbone of our high-impact events program—managing logistics, coordinating vendors, and ensuring flawless execution across a high volume of annual events spanning hosted dinners, sponsored conferences, and virtual webinars and roundtables. But this isn't a pure events role. You'll also flex into broader marketing work, from writing compelling event copy to supporting campaigns and creative projects. You'll work closely with the full marketing team to keep our growth engine humming. This role is ideal for someone who's equal parts project manager and storyteller—obsessed with details, allergic to loose ends, and energized by working at high velocity. If you thrive when juggling multiple workstreams and take pride in making complex logistics look effortless, we want to hear from you.

Requirements

2-5 years of professional experience in marketing, events, or a related field—ideally in a fast-paced B2B environment
Extremely organized and detail-obsessed; you thrive on checklists, work-back plans, and hate loose ends
Strong writer who can own event copy and emails, not just execute on logistics
Comfortable with high volume and velocity—you've operated in environments where a project management tool wasn't optional
Smart, scrappy, and willing to go full speed; you figure things out and ask for forgiveness, not permission
Basic creative skills and comfort with design tools (Canva, Figma, or similar)
Excellent communication skills with the ability to coordinate across teams and manage up to busy stakeholders
Self-motivated and adaptable; you don't need hand-holding to keep projects moving
Experience living and breathing in project management tools (Asana, Monday, Notion)

Experience with event platforms (Splash, Goldcast, Zoom, etc.) or marketing tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay)
