We’re seeking a strategic, process-oriented leader who thrives in a fast-paced, outcomes-driven environment and is energized by building relationships, optimizing event portfolios, and delivering results that move the business forward. Work Environment: This is a remote position open to candidates based in North America, with a preference for Central time zones to maximize collaboration with global teams. You’ll have flexibility in your schedule, with core collaboration typically occurring during standard business hours in your local time zone. The role requires frequent travel (approximately 30–40%) to lead and support events, customer engagements, and company initiatives across the US and Canada.
