Known for its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, TD SYNNEX offers a dynamic and inclusive workplace that empowers employees to grow and succeed in their careers while making a lasting impact.
The Event Planner role at TD SYNNEX is a hands-on, execution-focused position centered in the Clearwater, Tampa, FL area, primarily supporting corporate events. This position involves meticulous planning and flawless execution of a wide array of events, including internal meetings, customer-facing gatherings, and hosted happy hours. The role requires a strong emphasis on food and beverage coordination, décor management, and onsite event delivery to ensure polished and memorable experiences.

The ideal candidate thrives in onsite event settings, takes pride in creating well-run experiences, and exhibits a genuine passion for event planning. Responsibilities include partnering closely with event stakeholders to gather detailed requirements, develop event plans, manage budgets, and negotiate vendor contracts.

TD SYNNEX provides an engaging professional office environment complemented by frequent onsite event work, making this role ideal for candidates who enjoy an active and varied workday. Candidates must be located within driving distance of Clearwater, FL, and be willing to travel regionally up to 25% of the time, primarily within Florida, to support business needs.
Working at TD SYNNEX means aligning with a company culture that values innovation, integrity, and inclusion.
