Job Title: Senior Event Planner
Location: Remote, United States
Hours: Flexible, project-based
Compensation: Project-based, minimum rate $35/hr
About us:
We plan corporate retreats end to end for growing companies, offering a la carte solutions across the event-management process. Our delivery network is independent operators who own their projects and pick their work, backed by a team that handles account management and technical support so you can focus on the craft.
What this role is:
You take a program from brief through on-site execution on your own. You own the budget, the agenda, the client communication, and the room on event day. This is autonomous, project-based work for someone who has run programs solo, not someone who needs an account director above them.
What you will own:
Vendor management: research, negotiate, and secure venues and vendors; own contracts, logistics, and deliverables
Budget oversight against the client's financial goals
Agenda design: workshops, speakers, activities, and networking that fit the client's objectives
On-site management: hands-on execution from registration to breakouts; calm handling of whatever breaks
Stakeholder communication: primary liaison across client, vendors, and internal team
What we are looking for:
End-to-end ownership of programs, repeatedly, with no account director above you
DMC, incentive-house, or small-agency background is the strongest fit: trained to land in an unfamiliar city and deliver against a brief with no home-office safety net
You have run 50 to 150 attendees through on-site solo and owned the budget
You have real stories about fixing it on-site when the plan broke
Prior freelance or multi-client work is a plus; you want flexible, autonomous, project-based work
Eligibility:
Remote, must be based in the United States, work performed within the US only
Not eligible: candidates based in or working from California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey
To apply, answer:
1) Describe a program where the plan broke and no one was available to ask. What did you decide, and what happened?
2) Walk through how you would run a 60-person retreat from a one-line brief.
3) Confirm your work location is in the United States, outside California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey (Yes/No, plus your state).
