+ Oversee expo planning and execution, including exhibitor and partner coordination, and ensure a cohesive showcase experience.
+ Manage external speaker outreach, including identifying, securing, and coordinating speakers for the conference.
+ Represent owned work streams to senior leadership, providing clear, concise status updates, surfacing risks, and identifying roadblocks early.
+ Create and maintain detailed project timelines with clear milestones, deliverables, and dependencies for all assigned work streams.
+ Drive teams and stakeholders to meet milestones through structured communication, follow-up, and proactive issue resolution.
+ Drive innovation in program execution and delivery methods, continuously improving processes and attendee experience.
+ Lead onsite execution of assigned work streams during live events, ensuring smooth operations and quick resolution of issues under pressure.
+ Conduct post-event data analysis to evaluate performance, attendee engagement, and operational effectiveness.
+ Develop and present recommendations for future program improvements based on data, metrics, and stakeholder feedback.
+ Collaborate closely with design program managers, communications partners, and cross-functional teams to align on goals and execution plans.
+ Build, execute, and scale cross-functional programs or marketing campaigns from concept to completion, ensuring alignment with broader event strategy.
+ Manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
+ Communicate complex concepts clearly and effectively through written and verbal communication with stakeholders at all levels.
+ Use data and metrics to drive continuous improvements in event programs, processes, and attendee outcomes.

+ Proven program management experience, including building and managing detailed run-of-show plans using tools such as Asana.
+ Demonstrated experience managing large-scale events (3,000+ attendees), rather than only small events.
+ Hands-on experience with event software, specifically platforms such as Bizzabo.
