Manager, Communications Operations & Events

At Lummus Technology, innovation thrives, and excellence is a shared pursuit. When you join Lummus, you are empowered to make an impact and be part of a dynamic team that celebrates creativity, encourages professional development, and fosters collaboration.

From our technology portfolio to our global workforce, Lummus is growing at a rapid pace, and we hope that you will grow with us during this exciting time.

You’re the kind of person who walks into a room and immediately sees how to make it better — more organized, more intentional, more on brand. You love the craft of communications as much as you love the operational engine that makes it hum. You’re a natural connector: of people, of projects, of ideas that deserve to be seen and heard.

We’re building something here. A communications and marketing function that doesn’t just support the business — it elevates it. As a company at an exciting inflection point — with a growing footprint, a sharpening brand, and a story worth telling — we're investing in the infrastructure, the moments, and the people that bring that story to life.

As our Manager, Communications Operations & Events, you’ll be the operational backbone of a high-performing team — ensuring our projects move with purpose, our events make a lasting impression, and our brand shows up consistently and powerfully across every touchpoint. You’ll bring calm to complexity, quality to every deliverable, and momentum to every initiative — often before anyone has to ask. You’ll manage and mentor one talented Events Specialist, and you’ll be a force multiplier for the entire communications and marketing team.

If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, geek out over a well-built project plan, believe a beautifully branded event can change how the world sees a company, and love the idea of being the person a team relies on to make things happen — we want to meet you.
