About the Role

If you’re interested in events, travel, and working behind the scenes to bring large-scale experiences to life, this could be a great starting point.

    • Help with changes or requests
  • Track and help manage program budgets and travel details
  • Partner with internal teams like:
    • Event Managers
    • Travel Directors
    • Accounting teams
  • Help resolve travel issues (delays, changes, cancellations) with guidance from senior team members
  • Learn how to navigate airline systems and internal tools
  • Assist with after-hours flight monitoring on a rotating basis
What Makes This Role Unique
  • You’ll gain exposure to large-scale events and group travel logistics
  • It’s a mix of detail-oriented work + problem-solving + communication
  • You’ll build a foundation that can lead to careers in:
    • Event Management
    • Travel Operations
    • Client Services
    • Program Management

  • Recently graduated (or have a background) in:
    • Event Management
    • Hospitality
    • Tourism
    • Business or related field
  • Are highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Enjoy working with people and solving problems
  • Are comfortable communicating clearly via email and Teams
  • Like working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
  • Are tech-savvy and quick to learn new systems
  • Have a strong sense of accountability and follow-through
Nice to Have (but not required)
  • Internship or part-time experience in events, travel, or hospitality
  • Customer service experience
  • Interest in airlines, travel logistics, or global events
