Event Administration Coordinator

About the Role

PPG Event Management is looking for a highly organized and communicative Event Administration Coordinator to support our growing Events team.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working behind the scenes to keep projects organized, communications moving, and important details from falling through the cracks.

The Event Administration Coordinator will support our Event Project Managers by taking ownership of recurring administrative and coordination responsibilities, including contractor and judge recruitment, staff communications, customer emails, data collection, event documentation, follow-ups, and other day-to-day support needs.

You'll also serve as one of PPG's connections to the gaming and organized-play community, helping us identify great judges and event staff, maintain positive relationships, and ensure the people supporting our events have the information they need.

This position may be structured as part-time or full-time depending on the experience, availability, and overall fit of the selected candidate.

• Assist with surveys, feedback collection, and post-event administrative closeout.
• Help maintain a strong network of judges, contractors, and event staff for future events.
• Identify recurring questions, administrative gaps, or potential issues and communicate them to the appropriate Event Project Manager. Represent PPG Event Management professionally when interacting with players, judges, contractors, and members of the gaming community.
