The company is currently seeking an Administrative Event Coordinator to join its mission-driven team. This entry-level position offers a blend of administrative and event coordination responsibilities, ideal for a fast-paced, organized self-starter eager to grow within a values-driven organization. The person in this role will play an integral part in supporting KNOW Women’s operational and event activities, helping to maintain the company’s high standards of excellence and brand integrity.

The Administrative Event Coordinator will manage general office duties, including handling calls, calendar management, and email communications across various platforms. This role also involves coordinating interviews for key award programs, assisting with sponsorship and partnership communications, and managing inventory and facilities related to KNOW Women’s events. Beyond office administration, this position supports event logistics—from set up and takedown at local events to coordinating with vendors and planning travel for special mingling experiences like the Winner’s Circle and PLATED Dinner.

This role requires poise and professionalism, especially in interacting with high-level business owners and stakeholders. Candidates should possess strong verbal and written communication skills, familiarity with technology tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Google Documents, and Slack, as well as excellent time management and ability to work independently with some level of schedule flexibility. The Administrative Event Coordinator will also represent KNOW Women at external social functions and conferences, contributing to the company’s community presence.

The candidate is expected to bring resilience, coachability, and the ability to meet deadlines under pressure. Prior experience as an Executive Assistant is a plus but not mandatory, making this opportunity suitable for recent graduates or those looking to enter the nonprofit or media sector focused on female empowerment. Moderate travel is required to support events and regional functions.
