Position: Event Manager
Location: Chicago, IL (in-office 5 days/week)
Compensation: $70k-$80k Base Salary + Benefits
Our client is a labor union representing tens of thousands of members across the Midwest. They're hiring an Event Manager to centralize event logistics and travel coordination. This is a pure execution role, converting instructions from leadership into fully booked travel, secured venues, and managed on-the-ground event details. It's not a strategic role; it requires someone who can independently and reliably execute high volumes of clearly defined logistics tasks.
Key responsibilities include:
· Plan and execute event logistics end-to-end, from venue outreach through on-site execution
· Conduct venue walkthroughs and negotiate Banquet Event Orders (BEOs)
· Manage on-site logistics for multi-day events (space, catering, signage, vendors)
· Support events from small meetings to gatherings of several hundred
· Book and manage individual and group travel, including recurring training travel, trade show logistics, and occasional international trips
· Secure hotel room blocks and distribute booking links to attendees
· Build and maintain vendor/venue relationships; negotiate rates and contracts
· Serve as central point of contact for cross-departmental logistics requests
· Manage travel/event budgets, reconcile invoices, and maintain booking records
We are looking for someone with the following experience:
· Strong execution skills; able to follow instructions with minimal supervision
· Background in hospitality, hotels, or event coordination preferred
· Comfortable managing high-volume logistics across multiple events and stakeholders
· Union-friendly and comfortable in a labor union environment
· Organized, detail-oriented, and reliable
This role suits someone who excels at precise, high-volume execution and wants a key operational position that runs independently under the leadership team's direction.
