Job Description: Our client, one of the largest names in global alternative asset management, is seeking a Cvent Platform Specialist to join their Event Technology and Operations team. This role sits within Client Marketing & Events and focuses on the end-to-end execution of digital event experiences, primarily through Cvent — including registration builds, data management, and fully customized event websites. This is an associate-level support role backing two Cvent leads and their broader events team, which runs a mix of large in-house events, third-party events, and high-profile sports & entertainment activations. Important note: this is not an event planner role — the ideal candidate supports the events team through platform operations and execution, not event conceptualization or design. The role requires someone hyper-organized, detail-obsessed, and comfortable interfacing directly with senior stakeholders including executives, with the composure to handle fast-moving, last-minute changes without missing a beat.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end build of event websites in Cvent, from initial design through go-live
• Manage complex registration flows, session paths, and conditional logic tailored to diverse audience segments
• Own and maintain event data integrity across Cvent (and Airtable, if applicable), ensuring consistency and accurate reporting
• Handle real-time event detail changes (e.g., hotel changes, branding updates, welcome page edits, capacity adjustments) and roll them out accurately across the platform
• Translate event goals into functional platform requirements, advising on best practices and creative solutions
• Ensure technical execution aligns with brand and regulatory/compliance standards
• Track engagement data and post-event analytics
• Take direction quickly from multiple stakeholders (Cvent leads, event planners, business/channel marketing teams) and manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• Think several steps ahead proactively, anticipating issues (e.g., registration capacity conflicts) before they become problems
• Contribute to documentation, process improvement, and platform innovation initiatives
• Support occasional early morning or evening work to accommodate global audiences

Minimum Requirements:

• 2-3 years of hands-on experience with Cvent, specifically building registration workflows and fully branded event websites
• Experience owning the full process/lifecycle of an event from a platform/operations perspective (not event planning)
• High attention to detail with a strong track record of accuracy under pressure
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable interfacing directly with senior executives and presenters
• Highly proactive and autonomous, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Outlook)
• Live, in-person event experience (not purely virtual event background)
• Professional polish and composure, with the ability to represent the team well in front of senior leadership

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of Airtable
• Prior experience in financial services or a regulated corporate environment
• Experience managing multiple simultaneous webinars or virtual sessions
