• Drive measurable sales engagement from events, including target attendee turnout, qualified introductions, and follow-up handoffs the sales team can act on
• Maintain a repeatable project-management cadence—timelines, status updates, RSVP and inventory tracking—that gives stakeholders predictable visibility into every program
• Partner cross-functionally with sales, creative, and external vendors, translating team leads' objectives into concrete activations that move the commercial needle
• Stay composed and decisive during live events, finding practical, imaginative solutions when venues, timelines, or vendors shift unexpectedly
