Event Coordinator (1188)
Job Description
The Events Coordinator supports the planning, coordination, and administration of client-facing events for luxury timepieces and jewelry with a retail focus in an office-based environment. Reporting to the Events Director and working closely with the Events Manager and cross-functional departments, this role is primarily administrative, with responsibilities for documentation, scheduling, approvals, budget support, and internal coordination.
The position is ideal for a detail-oriented professional with experience in luxury retail or an adjacent industry who excels at process management, effective communication, and proactive follow-up. While on-site support is required for select events, the role is predominantly focused on event operations and VIP client experience support.
Key Responsibilities
Event Planning & Coordination
- Support the end-to-end planning and execution of luxury events, including product launches, VIP experiences, private client dinners, retail activations, pop-ups, exhibitions, and digital or hybrid events.
- Assist in developing event timelines, run‑of‑show documents, guest flow plans, seating charts, client bios, and post-event recaps.
- Source new vendors and maintain up-to-date vendor lists.
- Coordinate logistics, including venue details, catering, entertainment, rentals, transportation, gifting, staffing, and on-site setup/breakdown.
- Ensure all event elements align with brand guidelines, client expectations, and luxury service standards.
Administrative & Budget Support
- Maintain detailed event documentation, including templates, timelines, run-of-show documents, internal briefing materials, image libraries, and post-event recaps and summaries to support scalability and efficiency.
- Coordinate meeting scheduling, agendas, and minutes, and the internal approvals process across marketing, retail operations, finance, buying and merchandising, and leadership teams.
- Support in tracking event budgets and expenses, maintaining accurate records for reconciliation and reporting.
- Prepare expense summaries, invoices, and internal documentation.
Stakeholder & Vendor Support
- Liaise with internal teams to ensure alignment, approvals, and timely delivery of event assets, ensuring accurate information flow and timely follow-ups.
- Coordinate vendor onboarding, invoices, and invoice payment tracking.
- Prepare internal communications, calendars, presentations, and status updates related to the events program.
- Support communication with brand partners and vendors by managing schedules, confirmations, documentation, and deliverables.
Guest Experience & On-Site Execution
- Manage RSVP tracking, guest lists, seating plans, and check-in processes using digital event platforms.
- Anticipate and resolve logistical issues in real time to ensure a seamless guest experience and support business functions.
- Provide polished, white‑glove on‑site support for VIP guests, brand partners, and senior leadership.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
- Support post-event reporting, including attendance, engagement, qualitative feedback, and operational insights.
- Identify opportunities to streamline workflows, improve documentation accuracy, and enhance cross-functional collaboration.
- Compile and share key learnings and best practices across the events and marketing teams.
Qualifications & Experience
- 2–4 years of experience in an events, marketing, or administrative coordination role within luxury retail, watches, jewelry, fashion, or hospitality.
- Strong organizational skills with meticulous attention to detail and follow-through.
- Demonstrated ability to manage documentation, approvals, budgets, and multiple concurrent projects.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and event tools such as Splash or similar RSVP platforms; familiarity with Adobe, Canva, or presentation tools is a plus.
- Experience working with budgets, vendors, timelines, and multi-event calendars.
- Polished written and verbal communication skills suitable for executive, VIP, and cross-functional interaction.
- Hands-on experience supporting in-person events; exposure to digital or hybrid events is a plus.
