• Manage budgets, vendor negotiations, invoices, and reconciliation processes while ensuring cost discipline and strong stewardship of resources.
• Develop and maintain event timelines, planning documents, communications materials, attendee lists, briefing materials, and onsite execution plans.
• Ensure all events are delivered with a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and hospitality, especially for senior executives and client-facing audiences.
• Support measurement and reporting on event success, including attendance, stakeholder feedback, business impact, and lessons learned for future programming.
• Identify opportunities to improve event processes, enhance attendee experience, and standardize best practices across executive and wealth programming.
