  • Data & Performance Reporting: Oversee the collection and analysis of all virtual event data, including attendee feedback, engagement metrics, and registration patterns. Produce insightful post-event reporting to inform marketing strategy and measure ROI.
  • Post-Event Content Management: Manage and monitor the post-webinar and post-conference follow-up process, including timely monitoring and response to inbox requests for recordings and slides, and partnering with bankers and conference teams to vet and approve access.
• Financial & Systems Stewardship
  • Budget & ROI Oversight: Manage the preparation of budget reports for specific events and sponsorships.
  • System Stewardship: Maintain virtual event dashboards and calendars and contribute to robust process documentation and knowledge-sharing to strengthen continuity and standards across the marketing and events functions.
