[Hiring] Event Operations Specialist @Alma

Role Description

We're hiring an Event Operations Specialist to be the operational backbone behind Alma's growing events engine, ensuring every in-person dinner, party, and workshop we run for founders and HR / People teams comes together seamlessly, on time, and at a premium standard. This role is primarily about execution. You'll own the logistics that make a memorable event real:

• Run-of-show planning
• Venue and vendor coordination
• On-site readiness
• Budget tracking
• Countless details that separate a good event from a forgettable one

You'll also be a critical thought partner in strategizing how we plan and deliver events as we scale across formats and geographies. You'll work closely with our events, sales, and growth teams to make sure every experience we host reflects Alma at its best.

Qualifications

• You've run the operational side of high-quality events - whether professionally or as a student
• You're highly organized and can manage multiple events and vendors in parallel without dropping details
• You have strong judgment and stay calm when something on-site doesn't go to plan
• You're comfortable owning logistics end-to-end, from planning through breakdown
• You enjoy building systems and documentation, not just executing one-off events
• You communicate clearly and proactively with stakeholders across teams
• Most importantly, you LOVE creating memorable event experiences for the attendees

Requirements

• You should NOT apply if you prefer setting strategy over handling logistics and execution. This role is highly hands-on
• You don't enjoy detail-oriented coordination, vendor management, or being on-site for events
• You're uncomfortable with ambiguity or uncomfortable being the person who solves problems in real time when plans change

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience
• A front-row seat to startup growth, with mentorship from legal, tech, and business leaders
• Opportunities to shape internal systems, take on more strategic ownership as you grow, and build something new

Company Description

We're a small, mission-driven team reimagining immigration from the ground up. We value thoughtfulness, speed, and building systems that scale. We work closely across functions and care deeply about the people we serve.
