Corporate Event Manager

Note: Because of the weekly travel requirement, you must live within close proximity to a major US airport

Kodi Connect hosts exclusive, invitation‑only networking events for senior executives in cybersecurity, IT, and technology leadership. Our events are intentionally small and curated (typically capped at 25 executives) to create meaningful discussions between leaders from Fortune 1000 organizations.

Hosted in premium venues across the United States, each event brings together decision‑makers to exchange ideas, discuss industry challenges, and build valuable professional relationships in a relaxed but highly professional environment.

We are a fast‑growing company with a strong reputation for delivering high‑quality events. Our team is small, driven, and collaborative, and every event requires people who are dependable, professional, and take real ownership of their work.

We are seeking a Corporate Event Manager (Travel Role) to travel weekly across the United States (typically Wednesday–Friday) and represent Kodi Connect at our executive events.

This is a hands‑on role where you will be responsible for running events onsite. You’ll coordinate directly with hotel teams, ensure the room is prepared correctly, welcome and engage senior executives, guide the schedule and table rotations, and make sure every guest has an outstanding experience.

You will be the face of Kodi Connect during events — confidently hosting the room, speaking with attendees and sponsors, and ensuring everything runs smoothly and professionally.

When not traveling, you will work remotely to support event planning, venue coordination, community engagement, and marketing initiatives that help grow the Kodi Connect executive network.

We’re looking for someone who is confident, organized, detail‑oriented, and motivated to take real ownership of events while contributing to the continued growth of a successful and ambitious company. This role suits a natural leader who enjoys taking responsibility, making decisions, and ensuring things are executed to a high standard. You’ll be joining a small, high‑performing team where the right person can make a significant impact on both the quality of our events and the growth of the Kodi Connect community.
