Senior Event Planner - US
Job Title: Senior Event Planner Location: Remote, United States Hours: Flexible, project-based Compensation: Project-based, minimum rate $35/hr About us: We plan corporate retreats end to end for growing companies, offering a la carte solutions across the event-management process. Our delivery network is independent operators who own their projects and pick their work, backed by a team that handles account management and technical support so you can focus on the craft. What this role is: You take a program from brief through on-site execution on your own. You own the budget, the agenda, the client communication, and the room on event day. This is autonomous, project-based work for someone who has run programs solo, not someone who needs an account director above them. What you will own: Vendor management: research, negotiate, and secure venues and vendors; own contracts, logistics, and deliverables Budget oversight against the client's financial goals Agenda design: workshops, speakers, activities, and networking that fit the client's objectives On-site management: hands-on execution from registration to breakouts; calm handling of whatever breaks Stakeholder communication: primary liaison across client, vendors, and internal team What we are looking for: End-to-end ownership of programs, repeatedly, with no account director above you DMC, incentive-house, or small-agency background is the strongest fit: trained to land in an unfamiliar city and deliver against a brief with no home-office safety net You have run 50 to 150 attendees through on-site solo and owned the budget You have real stories about fixing it on-site when the plan broke Prior freelance or multi-client work is a plus; you want flexible, autonomous, project-based work Eligibility: Remote, must be based in the United States, work performed within the US only Not eligible: candidates based in or working from California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey To apply, answer: 1) Describe a program where the plan broke and no one was available to ask. What did you decide, and what happened? 2) Walk through how you would run a 60-person retreat from a one-line brief. 3) Confirm your work location is in the United States, outside California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey (Yes/No, plus your state).
