What are the responsibilities and job description for the Marketing Assistant & Event Coordinator position at NOCO Energy Corp?
Title: Marketing Assistant & Event Coordinator
Location: Tonawanda, NY
Compensation: $26.00 - $31.00/hour, based on experience.
What We Are Looking For
We're growing our in-house marketing team and looking for a highly organized, people-first coordinator. This person will keep our marketing operations running smoothly and bring NOCO to life for both our community and our employees. The role is split roughly [60/40] between marketing administration and event coordination. You'll handle media buy paperwork and invoice tracking one day, set up a booth at the county fair the next, and help plan an employee appreciation event the week after. If you enjoy variety, details, and bringing people together, this role is for you.
What You Will Do
Marketing Administration

- Manage marketing purchase orders and vendor billing, and flag discrepancies before they become problems.
- Maintain campaign calendars, project timelines, and asset libraries. Coordinate approvals and deadlines with internal teams and outside creative partners.

External Events
- Plan and execute NOCO's community and customer events, which include county and regional fairs, sponsorship activations, open houses, prospect events, and fundraisers.
- Handle event logistics from start to finish: registrations, vendor and venue coordination, permits, booth setup and breakdown, staffing schedules, and supplies.
- Coordinate with sales and service teams, including the fuels, residential, and commercial teams, so events generate qualified leads and follow-up.
Internal Events
- Plan and coordinate employee events such as company meetings, town halls, appreciation events, and product launches.
- Support culture initiatives, including The NOCO Way and We Start With Yes, through events and activities that bring employees together across divisions and locations.
- Coordinate logistics for leadership meetings, and team outings, including catering, venues, AV, and materials.
All Events
- Manage a master events calendar and budget, balancing internal and external priorities.
- Capture photos, video, and content for social media, PR, and internal communications.
- Track results (attendance, leads, costs, employee feedback) and recommend improvements.
