The Firm Events Coordinator position at Polsinelli, based in Kansas City, is a full-time hybrid role designed for an engaging and detail-oriented professional who thrives in a fast-paced, professional environment. This role is integral to the firm's internal and external event strategy and execution, playing a critical part in supporting marketing initiatives and business development efforts. The coordinator works closely with the Marketing Events Manager and partners with firm leadership and attorneys to plan and execute events that align with strategic goals. Responsibilities include coordinating all logistical aspects of events such as site and menu selection, budgeting, invitation management, onsite event management, and tracking event attendance in the firm’s CRM system.

This position also involves strategic collaboration, such as developing business development game plans pre- and post-events, coordinating continuing legal education (CLE) events, and supporting multiple marketing teams across regional and departmental levels. The role requires a blend of organizational skills, creative problem-solving, and the ability to manage multiple simultaneous projects with a sense of urgency and professionalism.

Ideal candidates will have a minimum of three years of corporate event planning experience, preferably with exposure to legal event marketing, although this is not mandatory. Familiarity with digital event platforms such as InterAction, Vuture, Zoom, On24, and CVent is highly beneficial. Candidates should be proficient in Microsoft Office applications including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook, as well as database management. This position may require up to 20 percent travel, primarily on weekdays, and may involve extended hours when events require it.
