Our team is seeking its next top performer and events visionary. Have you ever thought about being an event planner without having to source your own clients? If you dig this and can juggle many priorities, then read on. Vision Implementors has an immediate opening and a ground-floor opportunity!
1. Supported independence. Micro-management isn't in our dictionary. Make decisions. Ask questions (there are no stupid ones). Use our approachable support systems. Take chances. Learn. Rinse. Repeat.
2. Flexible environment. Our event producer role is a hybrid model of work- from-home event planning coupled with on-the-ground production of events. This allows for much flexibility in your day-to-day schedule.
3. Growth culture. We want to empower you to become the expert at what you do. Our diverse team model provides a supportive community where learning and skill development are foundational. A willingness to learn is all that is asked in return.
4. Engaging experiences. Our clients are entrepreneurs from many walks of life and avenues of business. The events we help to create for them feature prominent and impactful speakers and activities. While you take an active role in ensuring these events go off without a hitch, from ideation to execution, this is also your chance to be in the room where it happens.
This is a position in which we'll want you to...
Be a traffic controller. Coordinate communications, including taking calls, responding to emails, and interfacing with clients and vendors. Manage the client's event calendar and take a proactive role in scheduling meetings, appointments, or travel arrangements when needed.
Be a detail whisperer. Effectively manage projects while identifying, communicating, and resolving issues that arise. Manage and oversee event details, including timelines, budgets, vendor relations, and day-of Coordination.
Be a solutions wizard. In the world of events, things happen. Being adaptable is essential. You can pivot, problem-solve creatively, and change focus as needed without losing that positive, upbeat attitude you are known for.
Be a friendly face. Know how to engage with a variety of people meaningfully at events - making them feel seen, heard, and valued. Know how to balance this sociability with accomplishing the task at hand when running the day-of-event tasks. Know how to handle challenging situations (though we hope they never happen!) with evenness and decorum.
Be a sponge. Life-long learning benefits us all. Collaborate with our events specialist and producers to share your experience and knowledge. Ask for help when you're out of your depth. Take on company learning opportunities with eagerness and ask questions when needed.
Commit to learning what it takes to improve client outcomes.
