We're looking for someone who knows how to turn events into meaningful brand and business opportunities and create experiences that strengthen client relationships, elevate ICF's market presence, and support growth across priority markets. You'll help bring campaigns to life through strategic planning, seamless execution, and compelling event marketing that connects with the right audiences.

• Partner with marketing and business leaders to align event strategies, messaging, and audience engagement with broader business priorities and growth goals.
• Develop integrated event marketing plans, including promotional activities, branded materials, and attendee communications.
• Manage event execution from planning through post-event follow-up, including timelines, budgets, vendors, exhibit coordination, registration, and onsite logistics.
• Advise internal stakeholders on event strategy and opportunities to maximize visibility, engagement, and overall business impact.
• Support the development and continuous improvement of event marketing best practices, processes, templates, and self-service tools to help scale event execution and improve consistency across teams.
• Coordinate across internal teams, speakers, partners, and vendors to deliver consistent, high-quality event experiences.
• Track and analyze event and sponsorship performance metrics and recommend improvements for future marketing efforts.
• Maintain records for event budgets, contracts, timelines, and post-event reporting.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required.
• 3+ years of experience in event planning, or marketing and communications related to event planning.
• Willing and able to travel up to 10% annually (domestically).

Preferred Skills/Experience:

• Experience with platforms such as Marketo, GotoWebinar, Zoom, WebEx, Eventbrite, Cvent, or similar.
• Passion for finding new and creative ways to engage an audience.
• Ability to work across teams and departments in a highly collaborative way.
