Are you an organized, self-starting events professional looking for a high-impact, part-time opportunity? A leading organization in the defense and technology sector is seeking a contract Events Manager to oversee and manage its upcoming portfolio of community relations events, conferences, and tradeshows through the end of the year.
In this dynamic, hybrid role, you will spend 50% of your time working on-site (2 days in office, 2 days remote) to manage critical logistics, coordinate with high-level stakeholders, and handle essential on-site tasks like shipping event kits and coordination through the corporate mailroom. Because packages must be dispatched by noon, a candidate with morning availability across a 4-day workweek (Monday–Thursday) is highly preferred.
This position is ideal for a proactive professional who can work independently to see established event plans through to final execution. If you are a collaborative communicator with a great track record in event production and budget tracking, apply today for immediate consideration!
