Event Specialist

Meet ACQ:

At Acquisition.com, we're a team of entrepreneurs on a mission to make real business education available to everyone. There are 34 million small and medium businesses in the United States. They're the backbone of the economy, but many will never reach their full potential because the education available to them is outdated, impractical, and built for classrooms instead of companies.

We're fixing that by giving founders and business owners the tools, knowledge, and support they need to grow. The proof is in our results:

• Built an Advisory Practice that's already served more than 3,500 clients in its first year
• Broke the world record for non-fiction book sales in 24 hours with $100M Money Models
• Scaled to nine figures in 18 months without any outside capital

We believe in high standards, hard work, and helping others win. If that resonates, you'll feel at home here.

Role:

Are you ready to be the powerhouse behind the scenes, helping execute seamless events that leave a lasting impact? We're seeking a dynamic individual to step into the role of Event Specialist and become an integral part of our team at Acquisition.com.

As the Event Specialist, you will support the Events team in delivering flawless event preparation, day-of execution, and post-event follow-up. This role is centered around internal coordination, guest and speaker support, and logistical preparation, enabling the Event Manager to drive high-level event success.

While the Event Manager oversees the Run of Show, the Event Specialist ensures that day-to-day details and guest experiences are executed with precision and care. The Event Specialist is a key player in the overall guest experience, bringing exceptional customer service skills to a fast-paced, high-standards environment.

Over the past two years, we've grown into a high-velocity operation averaging 20 events per month, and we're continuing to grow with no signs of slowing down. Much like Disney represents the pinnacle of excellence and quality in entertainment, we are committed to setting that same uncompromising standard in the world of business events. As an Event Specialist, you will play a meaningful role in upholding that standard at every touchpoint.

It's not just about the logistics, it's about embodying the values that drive us forward. Just as our founders uphold the principles of Sincere Candor, Unimpeachable Character, and Competitive Greatness, we seek individuals who share this commitment to excellence. Your alignment with our values will be essential as you represent our organization in every interaction and endeavor.
