This posting is for a Corporate Event Professional role within BCBST, designed to focus on managing and executing high-impact events specifically for the Board of Directors.

This role is vital in creating seamless, well-executed events that positively impact the director’s experience and foster stronger relationships within the corporate environment.

The ideal candidate will have a bachelor’s degree or equivalent corporate experience supported by at least five years of progressive experience in corporate event planning, focusing on complex and high-profile events. Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications such as Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint is essential. Candidates must demonstrate exceptional organizational skills, a keen eye for detail, strong problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced setting. Effective communication and interpersonal skills are crucial since this role requires collaboration and relationship building across various stakeholder groups.

Professional certification in event planning is a plus, and the company’s culture reflects a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
