The company prides itself on maintaining high standards of professionalism and client satisfaction while fostering a culture of integrity, innovation, and teamwork. CBRE’s commitment to excellence and continuous improvement empowers employees to grow their careers in a diverse and inclusive setting. As part of its commitment to events and client experience, CBRE offers dedicated roles that support the execution of successful events and daily operations within their managed facilities.

As a CBRE Events Coordinator, you will play an integral role within the events team by assisting in a variety of tasks that ensure seamless event execution and a superior experience for all attendees. This role is pivotal as you will act as the Concierge Desk lead responsible for billing creation and processing alongside serving as the primary guest services liaison for the facility. Additionally, you will provide back-up support to essential services including building security and mail services/loading dock. Your role is multifaceted, requiring you to be the initial point of contact for everyone entering the facility, offering a welcoming and professional presence.

The Events Coordinator is responsible for recording service requests, tracking their progress, and supporting the administrative needs of the event team. Delivering world-class customer service is critical, as you build and maintain a comprehensive database of local business recommendations spanning transportation, dining, and entertainment options to enhance the guest experience.

Security and emergency procedures specific to the property will be your ongoing priority, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone in the building by notifying the appropriate parties when necessary. Your duties extend to addressing client, coworker, and supervisor inquiries or complaints with effective, solution-oriented approaches while fostering a positive impact on team and customer objectives.

In this leadership role, you are expected to embody CBRE’s RISE values—respect, integrity, service, and excellence—guiding your team through best practices and fostering consensus. Providing logistical support for meetings and events, coordinating guest services, and creating a hospitable environment for attendees, event owners, and vendors are key components of your daily activities. You will assist with conference room turnovers, respond to event activities including equipment and food and beverage services, and manage inventory and supplies to ensure readiness.

Your analytical skills will be exercised by escalating issues appropriately and proposing process improvements to enhance team efficiency. Close supervision and guidance underpin the role, allowing you to develop your decision-making capabilities while contributing directly to team and organizational success. This position offers a vibrant career pathway for individuals passionate about events management, customer service, and facility operations within a globally respected organization.
