• Strong Excel and PowerPoint skills required; experience with SQL, Snowflake, data visualization, or similar analytical tools preferred
• Ability and willingness to travel approximately 10-20% and work outside traditional business hours when necessary around key partner events and periods
• Must be based in the Houston, TX area or willing to relocate. This is an in-person role based out of Eventellect's Houston office
