About The Position

The Awards Coordinator is responsible for coordinating and managing all aspects of our awards set up, including displaying awards on the awards table according to brand standards in order to prepare for our On Stage Awards Ceremony.

The Awards Coordinator works closely with the Backstage Team and steps in for them as needed throughout the weekend.
