Your days will be filled with timeline management, vendor relations, logistical planning, speaker, and stakeholder relationship communication and/or management, sponsor engagement, and event execution.

• Partner with volunteer and other PPRM departments to recruit, coordinate, and oversee volunteers for events; act as liaison between committee volunteers and other staff.
• Identify, solicit, and coordinate event speakers, sponsors, and supporters.
• Work with internal/external partners on production of event materials, including but not limited to, venue, catering, entertainment, print and online materials, invitations, programs, and various event collateral.
• Obtain, evaluate, make recommendations and process vendor proposals as appropriate and using an eye toward equity.
• Lead or assist on-site management of event logistics including security, contractors, vendors, et al. This position will sometimes lead a particular event and will sometimes assist the Event Lead, depending on staff capacity, need, and other factors.
• Utilize donor database to track event attendance, create lists, and execute follow up plans.
• Coordinate with PPRM marketing and communications staff for all event social media presence, keeping information up to date in order to encourage event attendance.
• Conduct evaluation and analysis processes to measure the success and efficacy of both fundraising and stewardship events.
• Grow and build on existing events and identify new event opportunities.
• Manage the Supporter-Hosted-Event program and accompanying resources.

Support Team-Wide and Agency Efforts: You’re a key contributor to a high-functioning team, ready to jump in where your skills and capacity can move our collective work forward. You are flexible and have a can-do spirit and attitude about your work. To do this, you will:

• Advocate for technology solutions as appropriate and keep abreast of emerging technologies.
• Work with Development team members to create and adhere to event strategy and annual budget.
• Support the Manager of Special Events & Stewardship, Director of Donor Relations and Operations, and other Development teammates to achieve desired fundraising goals.
