• Strong vendor sourcing, contract negotiation, and relationship management experience.
• Deep understanding of budget management, margin protection, and reconciliation.
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

• Willing and able to travel up to 10% for onsite execution or team offsites.

Responsibilities

• Plan, lead, and execute 8–12 concurrent high-complexity events, including incentive trips, multi-day retreats, and high-production programs.
• Serve as the primary strategic contact for clients, offering consultative guidance and creative solutions aligned to business objectives.
• Manage all aspects of event execution: budget creation, venue and vendor sourcing, production, logistics, and reconciliation.
• Oversee event budgets of $500K–$2M+, balancing client goals with BoomPop’s margin targets and cost efficiency.
• Partner cross-functionally with Sourcing, Creative, Product, and Finance teams to ensure seamless delivery.
• Mentor Event Managers by sharing best practices, reviewing plans, and helping solve complex challenges.
• Identify and implement process improvements that enhance scalability, efficiency, and profitability across the Events org.
• Lead post-event reviews to surface learnings and drive continuous improvement.
• Model operational excellence, proactive communication, and a calm, solution-oriented approach in every client interaction.
