• Building relationships across the firm to understand our culture and employees
• Organising events from start to finish, including but not limited to venue selection, catering, entertainment, transportation, promotion, RSVP management, and on-site event-day support
• Collaborating with our Recruiting, Human Resources, Workspace Services and other internal support teams
• Maintaining a database of all event details and costs
• Working with our Legal team on all event-related contracts
