POSITION OVERVIEW

As VLCM's Marketing Event Specialist, you'll be the engine behind our marketing events. You'll own tradeshow planning from start to finish, while also leading the research, coordination, and execution of virtual customer events. You'll also provide hands-on support for in-person events, from major marquee gatherings and executive summits to smaller-scale activities like lunch-and-learns, flexing to support event needs and team priorities.

Success in this role takes a blend of marketing savvy, strong communication, and sharp time-management skills.
