Events and Operations Assistant

Job Description

Job Description

Are you the kind of person who lights up at the chance to plan multi-day events and actually loves the hustle of logistics?

Are you strangely at your best when 15 moving parts of a project all need your attention — yesterday?

We help good people be great teachers. This role specifically supports the facilitation of in-person and virtual conference-style events .

We need someone who can plan events for 60-120 people. This means booking hotels and meeting space, coordinating meals, coordinating airfare and ground transportation.

Let's be honest - working with hotels and food vendors these days is not easy. Service hasn't recovered since COVID, so you HAVE to be on top of all the details to make sure our wonderful, amazing customers can focus on what's important to them.

This job can be a logistical nightmare for the wrong person - and a planning, fantastical dream for the right person.

If you want to be in charge of planning, running, and managing events for teachers, this is the job for you.

If that doesn't automatically sound like a fun job - PLEASE APPLY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Also, we love hiring former teachers. Teachers are awesome.

• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail. Gotta love working a checklist

• Have to know how to get things done and make sure everyone is on the same page

• Know your way around Google Workspace - or learn in less than a week

• When crunch time hits and there are 15 things to do before the end of the day and each is time sensitive, you cannot shrink away. You have to perform under pressure.

• You have to know when to take charge and when to work within a team. You need strong emotional awareness of when to work in multiple group settings

Preferred Experience

• Background in education or transitioning from a teaching role.

• Familiarity with managing vendor relationships and group communications.

• Our goal is to help over 2 million teachers have better careers and be more effective in the classroom. If this doesn't get you excited - PLEASE APPLY SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A GOOD FIT.

• You will be an integral part of a winning team. If seeing the team win doesn't get you motivated - PLEASE APPLY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

• You will sink or swim. This is kind of like being thrown into the deep-end. If you are not 100% confident you can crush this job - PLEASE APPLY SOMEWHERE ELSE.
