    Job Description

    We’re looking at you—high-achievers, challenge-seekers, and innovation-chasers.

    Professionals who never shy away from complex problems. We hire the top 1% and let your talents soar.

    Field Event Coordinator

    Location: New York or San Francisco Bay Area

    The Role

    The Field Event Coordinator will drive the logistics, coordination, and on-the-ground execution of our regional field events. You'll own the day-to-day details that make events run smoothly, and you'll support the Field and Integrated Marketing Lead on the coordination of our flagship IPO and Private Equity events. This is a great fit for someone early in their events career who wants hands-on experience across a full event calendar, working alongside Business Development, Partners, and a team of brand, content, and operations marketers.

    What You'll Own

    Event Logistics: Coordinate all logistical details for regional field events: venue booking, catering, AV, invitation strategy, registration, signage, and vendor communication.

    Execution Support: Manage event timelines and checklists, ensuring every task is tracked and completed on schedule.

    Flagship Event Support: Assist the Senior Manager, Field and Integrated Marketing Programs with coordination tasks for flagship events, including sponsor logistics and on-site support.

    Vendor & Venue Coordination: Serve as the point of contact for venues, caterers, and other event vendors, managing contracts and day-of details.

    On-Site Management: Represent Connor Group on-site at regional events, managing setup, run-of-show, and troubleshooting in real time.

    Data & Reporting: Track event details and attendee data in Salesforce/CRM, supporting post-event reporting and follow-up.

    Budget Tracking: Help track event spend against budget and flag discrepancies to the team.

    What We're Looking For

    Required Qualifications

    • 1+ years of experience planning or coordinating events (professional or academic/extracurricular experience considered)
    • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple event timelines simultaneously
    • Comfortable communicating with vendors, venues, and internal stakeholders
    • Sharp attention to detail
    • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

    What Success Looks Like in Your First Year

    • Regional events run smoothly, on time, and within budget, with attendees having a seamless experience
    • Strong working relationships with vendors and venues that make future planning easier
    • Reliable support to the flagship event team, with logistics handled proactively and details rarely missed
