• Shipping & Inventory: Lead operational prep, including packing, labeling, shipping, and tracking event materials, signage, and collateral.
• Vendor & Venue Coordination: Assist with hotel room blocks, venue logistics, room setups, catering arrangements, and audio/visual (AV) requirements.
• Financial Tracking: Maintain invoice records, process purchase orders, assist with budget documentation, and help reconcile post-event expenses.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3 years of hands-on operational and administrative experience supporting corporate events, conferences, or large-scale meetings.

• Key Skills: High attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a process-driven approach to tracking deliverables.
• Travel & Location: Ability to work onsite in Omaha, NE, Tuesday through Thursday, with flexibility to travel occasionally to support onsite event operations as needed.
