The opportunity to work on exciting, high-profile projects? The satisfaction and security of working at an employee-owned company? Or maybe the opportunity to improve the quality of life - not just for you and your family, but for the worldwide community at large?

We have a new opportunity available for a dynamic, experienced Event and Administrative Coordinator to support our corporate group, through a variety of tasks in our exciting downtown Milwaukee Headquarters office.

As our Corporate Administrative Assistant and Event Coordinator, enjoy job responsibilities that include:

  • Provide administrative support to corporate and executive leaders (including the C-suite) and corporate groups including calendar coordination, document preparation, correspondence, data tracking, and record maintenance.
  • Serve as the primary coordinator for firmwide and corporate office events, including internal meetings, training sessions, celebrations, fundraising, and community or client-facing activities.
  • Plan, schedule, and execute events from concept through completion, including timelines, logistics, vendor coordination, venue selection, catering, audiovisual needs, registration, communications, travel accommodations, and post-event follow-up.
  • Act as the main point of contact for event stakeholders, vendors, and internal teams to ensure a smooth and professional experience before, during, and after each event.
  • Coordinate multi-user and group meetings, including room set-ups, virtual technology, calendars, materials, both internal and external, and clean up and reset conference rooms.
  • Assist with travel arrangements related to events and meetings, including lodging, transportation, and itineraries as needed.
  • Maintain organized files, checklists, schedules, and budgets related to events and projects.
  • Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
  • Support additional administrative or operational projects, as assigned, to ensure overall efficiency of the organization and the support services group.
  • This position involves a non-traditional schedule, with flexibility required to support events that may occur outside of a standard 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. workday, including early mornings, evenings, or occasional weekends. Schedule adjustments are made accordingly to support business and event needs.
