Event Coordinator

POSITION SUMMARY The Event Coordinator (EC) is responsible for turning a client's event vision into a confirmed, accurately prepared, and successfully executed event. The EC manages the logistics and on-site execution of an assigned portfolio of events — including leading pre-con meetings with the Operations Management Team and Leads ahead of each event — working in close partnership with the Design Consultant (DC) assigned to that same event. Every event at White Door Events has two dedicated points of contact: a Design Consultant, who leads the client relationship, sales process, and design vision, and an Event Coordinator, who leads the logistics, order accuracy, and production of that vision. The EC is assigned to specific events and client accounts rather than to one individual DC, which keeps EC workload balanced and gives every client and every event a consistent logistics partner from planning through strike. This role blends client management, event logistics, design support, sales support, and on-site event execution. The EC is often the last line of defense for accuracy and the first point of contact once an event moves from the design stage into planning and production.
