Job description

At Colibri Group, culture is at the heart of everything we do. Our values Love, Joy, Boldness, Teamwork, and Curiosity guide how we work together, support our customers, and make a difference in the communities we serve.
Colibri Group is a leader in online professional education, serving more than one million learners each year across a family of trusted education brands. Our Teacher Education Ecosystem supports educators, school leaders, and partners through professional learning and meaningful experiences.
Come Build What’s Next
We’re looking for a Marketing & Events Coordinator to turn event plans into seamless, well-organized experiences for educators, school leaders, partners, and colleagues.
This is an individual-contributor role focused primarily on hands-on event coordination, with additional ownership of defined marketing projects. You will help plan and execute in-person conferences, school and partner visits, webinars, information sessions, and other events from timelines and vendors to registration, materials, on-site logistics, and post-event handoffs.
You should enjoy the behind-the-scenes work of making events happen: asking the next question, spotting what is missing, keeping people informed, and solving logistical problems before they affect an event. Strong event-coordination experience matters more here than familiarity with the education industry. 
What You’ll Do
Coordinate event execution from planning through follow-up: schedules, registration, vendors, conference booths, travel, shipping, event materials, run-of-show details, and lead handoffs
Serve as a hands-on operational contact for assigned in-person conferences and events; coordinate with internal partners and external vendors, and provide on-site support when needed
Support different event sizes and formats, including up to approximately three large B2B conferences annually, approximately five to seven school/partner visits, and recurring virtual events (generally one to two per month, in a supporting role)
Build practical event playbooks, checklists, timelines, and repeatable processes; flag missing details, dependencies, and risks early
Track event supplies, branded materials, inventory, vendor orders, expenses, invoices, and logistics so everything arrives where and when it is needed
Coordinate assigned marketing and cross-functional projects in ClickUp or similar tools, keep ownership and deadlines visible, and support light marketing communications, editing, or quality checks as needed.
What You’ll Bring
Approximately 1–3 years of relevant experience in event coordination, marketing operations, project coordination, or a related field. Relevant internships and comparable hands-on experience are welcome
Direct involvement coordinating actual events, such as conferences, trade shows, webinars, school events, or partner experiences not simply attending them or promoting them
Experience managing multiple moving pieces: timelines, vendors or stakeholders, registration, supplies, schedules, and last-minute changes
Strong written and verbal communication, dependable follow-through, attention to detail, and confidence working across teams
Comfort using project-management tools to track tasks and deadlines, or the ability to learn new systems quickly
Helpful, but not required: experience in education or EdTech; familiarity with ClickUp, Asana, or Monday.com; and a bachelor’s degree in a related discipline.
Travel Requirements: This is a remote position requiring up to 15 - 20% domestic travel to support national conferences, partner events, and occasional office visits. Travel will vary throughout the year, with periodic visits to our Washington, D.C. office (approximately 1–2 times annually).
Tools, Platforms, and Methodologies You May Use
Experience with every platform below is not required. What matters most is how you organize work, coordinate people, and carry events through execution.
ClickUp or other project-management platforms (such as Asana or Monday.com)
Event registration, webinar, scheduling, and lead-capture tools
Shared event calendars, checklists, run-of-show documents, and vendor trackers
Standard collaboration, documentation, and productivity tools
What This Role Is Not
Not a personal assistant or an administrative catch-all for Marketing, Sales, or individual leaders
Not primarily a social-media, creative-content, or campaign-strategy position
Not a role focused only on planning ideas: it requires real follow-through on logistics and event execution
Not 100% large, in-person events; the role also supports virtual events and selected marketing projects
Why You’ll Love Working Here
See the impact of your work in well-run experiences for educators, school leaders, alumni, and partners
Gain ownership of meaningful event operations while building repeatable processes that make the team more effective
Partner across Marketing, Sales, Academics, and other teams, with a mix of independent coordination and shared executio
