Job description
The Role
Tunnl is seeking a highly organized, execution-obsessed Event Operations Specialist to own the operational backbone of our marketing event strategy — from contracting and invoicing to booth logistics, travel coordination, and sponsor deliverables
Events are a key growth channel at Tunnl, and this role is critical to ensuring we show up professionally, consistently, and on time. You'll manage the behind-the-scenes systems that make our events successful, while also supporting light event marketing execution (email outreach, follow-up coordination, lead capture workflows, etc
This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, loves building repeatable systems, and gets real satisfaction from making complex logistics feel effortless for everyone else
You'll work closely with the Head of Marketing and collaborate with Sales Enablement, Sales, Partnerships, and Account Management to ensure events translate into real pipeline impact
This is a hands-on, early career role for someone who wants to grow into a broader marketing leadership path.
Why This Role Matters
Tunnl is growing quickly, and our presence at conferences and industry events is central to how we build relationships and drive revenue. But events only work when the operational execution is flawless — deadlines met, logistics handled, travel coordinated, vendors managed, and follow-up systems in place
This role ensures Tunnl's event motion runs smoothly and scales efficiently. You'll be the person who makes sure the right things happen at the right time
If you're the kind of person who loves timelines, checklists, vendor coordination, and solving problems before they happen — you'll thrive here.

  • Own Event Operations End-to-End
  • Manage logistics for all conferences, sponsorships, and field marketing activations.Coordinate event contracting, vendor communication, invoicing, and payment tracking in close collaboration with our finance team.
  • Own all timelines and deadlines related to sponsorship deliverables, booth setup, materials, and shipping.
  • Ensure all required assets are delivered on time (logos, descriptions, brand guidelines, speaker submissions, etc.).
  • Manage event-day readiness: booth setup plans, materials checklists, backup plans, and onsite execution support.

  • Travel & Team Coordination
  • Coordinate travel logistics for team members attending events (event registrations, flight reminders, hotel booking coordination, calendar visibility, itineraries, etc.).
  • Ensure internal teams have clear event schedules, expectations, and deadlines.
  • Build repeatable templates for event planning and team travel workflows.

  • Help coordinate lead capture processes and ensure leads are delivered cleanly to the right owners.
  • Assist with post-event follow-up logistics including attendee lists, reporting, and recap coordination.

  • Build Scalable Systems
  • Create and maintain an internal event playbook including timelines, vendor lists, shipping workflows, and checklists.
  • Maintain an event calendar and event tracking system to ensure visibility across the organization.
  • Continuously improve process efficiency and reduce last-minute scramble through documentation and repeatable workflows.

    • Who You Are

  • You're the kind of person who gets energy from organization, execution, and follow-through.
  • You're calm under pressure, obsessed with details, and take pride in making things run smoothly.
  • You're not just a "planner" — you're someone who can proactively identify what's missing and solve it before it becomes a problem. You're excited to work in a growth-stage company where your work will have direct visibility and real impact.

    • Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in event coordination, event marketing, field marketing, operations, or a related role.
