Our client is seeking an experienced Event Tech Manager to provide project-specific support for two recently converted Google programs.
This role will be responsible for owning the client relationship for registration operations, arrival processes, and attendee flow, while project managing a print-on-demand vendor handling all onsite ordering and setup. Working closely with an internal team based primarily on the East Coast and a West Coast-based client, this individual will help ensure a seamless registration and attendee experience across two high-visibility programs.
Operating at the intersection of Event Technology, Registration Management, and Client Relations, this professional will lead client conversations, manage vendor execution, and keep all technology and data running smoothly behind the scenes.
Why You’ll Love This Role:
The ideal candidate will love this role because it offers ownership of a high-profile client relationship from day one, with the autonomy to run registration operations and vendor management independently. This position blends client-facing strategy with hands-on event technology execution, giving someone the chance to make an immediate impact on two active programs while working fully remote, with the exception of two onsite weeks.
