Events and Experiences Specialist - NYC

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end planning, production, and execution of team onsites in NYC and our secondary cities, from initial concept through post-event wrap-up, including being physically present in our New York City office on onsite days to lead on-the-ground execution.
• Manage all event logistics including travel coordination, venue sourcing, vendor management, budgeting, and on-the-ground execution.
• Partner closely with stakeholders and internal teams to align programming with Mercury’s culture, goals, and employee experience strategy.
• Proactively identify and address problems, risks, and inefficiencies across the onsite program before they become issues, and act with urgency when they do.
• Gather feedback from attendees and stakeholders after each onsite and use it to continuously iterate on and improve the program.
• Contribute to broader employee experience initiatives — from All Hands and virtual events to merch production and cultural programs — to help create thoughtful, cohesive moments of connection, celebration, and recognition across the company.
• Help develop and maintain efficient planning tools, templates, and processes that enable scalable onsite operations.
• Uphold Mercury’s brand and values through thoughtful, high-quality execution across all experiences.
