  • Demonstrated experience in measuring and improving the ROI of event marketing investments
  • Proven track record of working cross-functionally and collaboratively within a team and organization
  • Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously 
  • Flexible and solution-oriented with excellent time management skills
