Are you looking for hands-on experience in event marketing and execution? We're hiring a Marketing & Events Specialist to join our Marketing & Events Department and help design, plan, and execute large-scale industry events. It's a role that blends creativity, logistics, and strategy-which is why we also like to think of it as an "Event-gineer Associate"-someone who brings both problem-solving and precision to the art of event planning. This is not just an event management role; it's a hands-on apprenticeship where you'll work alongside a senior event strategist, gaining firsthand experience in everything from sponsorship logistics and vendor relations to budgeting, attendee engagement, and post-event analytics. You'll shadow, support, and contribute to high-profile events while mastering strategic planning, marketing integration, and industry partnerships. The ideal candidate has a few years of experience in multifaceted roles and is now seeking a place to establish roots and channel their ambition into meaningful professional growth. If you enjoy fast-paced environments, have an eye for detail, and are interested in shaping event experiences, this mentorship-driven role offers a strong foundation in event marketing and experiential strategy. Key Responsibilities: Assist in the planning, coordination, and execution of high-profile industry events. Work closely with a senior event strategist to learn and apply best practices in event marketing. Support sponsorship and vendor logistics, including contracts, communication, and on-site coordination. Assist with budget tracking, expense reconciliation, and financial reporting for events. Coordinate attendee engagement strategies, including registration, communications, and post-event follow-up. Conduct market and competitor research to improve event strategy and execution. Help develop marketing collateral, promotional materials, and event content. Manage event-related data tracking, reporting, and analytics to assess performance and impact. Provide on-site event support, including setup, execution, and breakdown for at least three events annually. Support post-event debriefs, collecting feedback, and identifying opportunities for improvement. Qualifications: A bachelor's degree (master's preferred, with a background in Marketing, Communications, Hospitality, Business Administration, or Psychology considered a plus. Proficiency in Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets Familiarity with computer hardware, software, and the broader technology/IT ecosystem is a plus. Although this role is primarily on-site (HQ), there may be times when work is done remotely. Accordingly, employees must be able to work independently and unsupervised when needed. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to multitask and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. A collaborative mindset and eagerness to learn from and support senior team members. A keen interest in event marketing, planning, and execution, with impeccable attention to detail. Candidates should include a few sentences in their cover letter about their favorite Magritte painting and why it resonates with them. Previous experience in event planning, marketing, or administrative support is a plus but not required. There are many opportunities for growth in this role, but taking initiative is key to unlocking them. About Us Cambridge Computer Services, Inc.
