  • Provide clear briefings, schedules, agendas, and talking points to ensure executives are prepared for on-site meetings
  • Work with Recruiting, Marketing, Communications, Legal, and Security to coordinate events against hiring targets, brand guidelines, messaging, contract review, and on-site protocols
  • Source, design, manage quality-control, and maintain inventory for premium company promotional items and swag
  • Coordinate timely shipping, freight tracking, and customs clearance of materials to global event sites
  • Help run the internal swag shop: vendor coordination, catalog upkeep, inventory tracking, order fulfillment, and the employee-facing ordering experience
  • Track usage and spend, refresh the assortment on a seasonal cadence, and partner with Brand on design standards
  • Track event-level and program-level budgets against forecast, process POs and invoices, and reconcile post-event
  • Support vendor contracting with recurring suppliers and maintain a preferred-supplier list
