About The Position
Kira's mission is to harness transformative AI technologies to make world-class personalized teaching and learning accessible to everyone. We are a rapidly growing startup backed by top-tier Venture Capital funds including New Enterprise Associates (NEA), Andrew Ng's AI Fund, and Primavera. We have a busy events calendar across conferences, regional education events, and field events. We’re looking for an experienced, detail-oriented contractor to manage the execution details that keep those events on track. As our Event Marketing Coordinator, you’ll work directly with our Head of Community & Events, who owns event strategy and overall accountability. Your role is to own the tactical execution: tracking deadlines, coordinating vendors, managing event materials, preparing collateral, organizing logistics, and making sure each event is ready to run smoothly. This role is a fit for someone who has supported events, field marketing, trade shows, or production before and can manage multiple events at different stages at the same time. You should be comfortable handling tactical decisions independently — including booth specs, table setups, vendor timelines, sponsorship deliverables, print proofs, shipping details, and internal event prep.
Requirements
- Experience supporting conferences, trade shows, field events, or event production
- Ability to manage tactical event details independently and flag issues early
- Experience coordinating vendors, print production, shipping, proofs, specs, and deadlines
- Experience tracking contracts, invoices, and payment status with finance or operations teams
- Strong organization and follow-through across deadlines, details, and moving pieces
- Clear written communication across email, Slack, and shared docs
- Working Canva skills for template updates and basic print-ready file prep
- Comfort using spreadsheets, trackers, checklists, and project management tools
- Availability for real-time collaboration during US business hours
