Marketing & Events Coordinator

Description Noria's conferences are built on people; the speakers who share their expertise, the attendees who show up to learn, and the team behind the scenes who make it all feel effortless. We're looking for a Marketing & Events Coordinator who loves connecting with people as much as promoting a great event. The Opportunity You'll report to our Project Manager, who leads speaker recruitment and program development for our conference portfolio, to help find, support and champion the speakers who make our events unforgettable. This isn't a behind-a-screen content role…It's a relationship-driven role. You'll be talking to speakers, learning their stories, and helping tell those stories in ways that get people excited to attend. At the same time, you'll help us think ahead. Noria runs an exciting, growing global conference schedule, and we need someone who can help build and sharpen marketing plans that keep us ahead of the curve, not just executing what's already been decided, but bringing ideas to the table.
