Events & Marketing Coordinator

Bring Back the Trades is growing fast, and we need someone who wants to grow with us.

We're a national nonprofit on a mission to close the skilled trades workforce gap — through Skills Expos, scholarships, tool grants, and hands-on programs that get young people excited about careers in the trades. We’re looking for someone eager to work hard on our mission, help build the events and marketing that makes our work possible, and take ownership over how things get done.

Job Description

Our Events & Marketing Coordinator is the person who makes our events run. That means coordinating logistics for everything from regional meetups to our flagship national Skills Expos: venues, vendors, registration, equipment, communications and more. The coordinator manages timelines and budgets, keeps sponsors and vendors engaged and recognized, and is on-site (some evenings and weekends) making sure things go smoothly and volunteers know where to be.

Beyond events, the coordinator helps drive social media content, communications, keeps our CRM (Salesforce) and volunteer database up-to-date, and eventually helps maintain our online resource database as we continue to grow. Also required are post-event surveys and recaps to help shape how we do things better every time.

Who thrives in this role

• Confident to take on responsibilities, own them and see them through to fruition without continual oversight. You ask great questions, figure things out, and help drive initiatives forward.
• Organized with excellent attention to detail, even when things get busy.
• High energy, positive can-do attitude, and show up ready to solve problems.
• You care about the people you're serving, whether that's a sponsor, a volunteer, or a student (of any age) discovering a trade for the first time.
• You want your work to mean something bigger than a paycheck
