• Brief, monitor, and evaluate vendor performance.
• Maintain and track inventory of event materials and marketing assets.
• Coordinate smaller event-related purchases and service bookings within approved budget.
• Execute selected digital marketing measures (e.g., banners, retargeting, paid social) to amplify event visibility.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Sales, Business Development, Product Marketing, and external partners.
• Support internal and partner marketing requests.
• Contribute to presentations, content updates, and marketing materials.
• Provide support during peak periods, product launches, or team absences.
