BCforward is currently seeking a highly motivated : : Events Lead – San Francisco, CA

Job Title: Events Lead – Recruiting Programs

Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid – 3 Days Onsite at 415 Mission Street)

Interview Process: 2 Rounds (No Assessments)

Experience Range: 3–5 Years Ideal (10+ considered overqualified)

The Role – Not Your Typical Events Job

This isn’t about planning one-off events. This is about owning the engine behind a high-volume, high-impact recruiting events ecosystem.

We’re looking for an execution-first Events Lead who thrives in fast-moving environments—someone who can juggle logistics, vendors, timelines, and still build structure out of chaos. You’ll be the operational backbone behind recruiting events and intern program experiences, ensuring every event runs flawlessly while quietly building the playbooks that make scaling possible.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Own the Execution

Drive day-to-day logistics across a high-volume portfolio of recruiting and intern-focused events. Manage timelines, coordinate moving pieces, and ensure nothing slips.

Turn Chaos into Process

Translate fast-paced workflows into structured SOPs, checklists, and repeatable playbooks that allow the program to scale seamlessly.

Run Event Tech Like a Pro

Build registration pages, manage attendee tracking, troubleshoot issues, and ensure event platforms run smoothly end-to-end.

Be the Vendor Quarterback

Act as the primary point of contact for venues, catering, AV teams, and external partners—owning coordination, deliverables, and on-site execution.

Track Budgets & Prove Impact

Maintain budget trackers, support financial reconciliation, and lead post-event analysis—turning feedback and data into smarter future events.

Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable)

Event Planning, Vendor Management, Timeline Management, Documentation

What You Bring

3–5 years of hands-on experience in event coordination, operations, or project management
Proven experience managing logistics-heavy, high-volume events
Strong ability to create SOPs, workflows, and scalable processes
Experience with event platforms (Splash, Cvent preferred)
Exceptional attention to detail and timeline discipline
Confidence managing vendors and live, on-site event execution
Clear, proactive communication style

Bonus Points

Experience supporting recruiting events, university programs, or intern initiatives
Exposure to event technology platforms and tools (teachable if not)

Work Setup

Hybrid role – 3 days/week onsite in San Francisco (415 Mission Street)
Must be comfortable working in PST time zone
Flexibility required for event-day schedules

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not just coordination—it’s ownership + scale.

You won’t just execute events—you’ll build the systems that power them.

If you’re someone who loves turning moving pieces into structured execution—and wants to be at the center of a high-impact recruiting engine—this role is built for you.
