Program and Events Manager, ULI Boston

Responsibilities

• Plan and execute ULI Boston's committee-driven events calendar, including speaker series, panel discussions, tours, roundtables and member gatherings.
• Manage all event logistics: venue sourcing and contracting, catering, invitations, marketing, registration and on-site coordination.
• Work with committee chairs and member leads to develop programming that resonates with our membership.
• Understand what makes a meaningful ULI Boston event and be able to distinguish that from content that serves a sponsor rather than the member.
• Support ULI Boston's local product councils, handling scheduling, invitations, speaker coordination and communications for each council's programming cycle.
• Spot opportunities where two member groups want to hear about the same topic and bring them together rather than running parallel events.
• Be the connecting thread between multiple member groups, the person everyone can rely on to know what is happening and keep things moving.
• Manage event-related communications: invitations, reminders, follow-ups and member correspondence.
• Work with the Director of Programs and Events and the Executive Director on member outreach and engagement.
• Maintain relationships with key vendors, venues and partners in the Boston market.

Requirements

• Vendor management experience.
• An interest in the built environment, urban development or real estate is a plus.
