Job Description

Our client, a leader in commercial real estate, is seeking a highly organized and people-focused Events Coordinator to support event operations at the World Trade Center campus in New York, NY. This is a full-time, hybrid position working 4 days a week onsite and a max of 1 hybrid day a week .

This position starts as a 7-month contract opportunity and pays $26.50-30 per hour based on experience. This role offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where cross-functional coordination, strong communication, and hands-on problem-solving are essential. The Events Coordinator will play a key role in supporting event planning, facilitating approvals, and ensuring exceptional execution across a wide range of campus activations. This role is ideal for someone with strong interpersonal skills who is eager to learn and grow—rather than candidates from strictly corporate event-planning backgrounds.

• Oversee the permitting process for film and photo requests from stakeholders, tenants, and external clients.

• Provide general administrative support to the CX Program Manager.

• Proactively introduce new concepts, ideas, and opportunities for programming enhancements.

• Support event operations during off-hours when needed.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent level of education.

• 2–3 years of professional work experience in event management.

• Exceptional attention to detail with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset.

• Bachelor’s degree in Event Management, Hospitality/Venue Management, Project Management, or a related field.

• Strong organizational and analytical skills with the ability to track deliverables.

• Excellent interpersonal skills; comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple priorities.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, SharePoint).

• Experience with venue management software such as Salesforce, VenueOps, or similar tools is a plus.
