Marketing & Events Coordinator
About The Position
Coviance is looking for a Marketing & Events Coordinator to help bring our marketing programs, events, and customer experiences to life. This is a hands-on role that combines event coordination, marketing execution, and the operational work behind the scenes. You'll help keep our event calendar moving, coordinate with conference organizers and vendors, manage marketing materials and merchandise, build email campaigns, and make sure everything we need actually gets where it needs to go. If you enjoy staying organized, juggling multiple deadlines, working with vendors, and don't mind packing a box or two when an event is coming up, this could be a great fit. This hybrid role is based in the Des Moines, Iowa area and includes hands-on responsibility for event materials, merchandise inventory, packing, and shipping.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to manage both planned projects and the occasional "we need this shipped tomorrow" request.
- Willingness to handle the hands-on side of the job, including packing, shipping, organizing inventory, and preparing event materials.
- Proficiency with Google Workspace.
Nice To Haves
