About the Role

Do you enjoy welcoming guests, bringing people together, and keeping events running smoothly? If you have experience in hospitality, guest services, catering, or event coordination, your skills could be a great fit for our Event Coordinator role.

You’ll help create a welcoming, well-organized experience at our introductory workshop events — from greeting attendees and assisting with registration to answering questions and keeping event details on track. You’ll also follow up with prospective students who need help completing their registration.

Working alongside our Preview Presenters in Framingham, MA, and at off-site events throughout the local area, you’ll bring the warmth, attention to detail, and ability to think on your feet that make great hosts stand out. Your work will help attendees feel comfortable and supported.

What You'll Do

Event Coordination & Guest Experience

• Prepare event spaces for preview workshops
• Greet and check in attendees, assign seating, and set the tone for a professional, welcoming environment
• Support presenters and ensure all participants — including online attendees — are comfortable and engaged
• Help interested participants complete enrollment using digital or paper tools
• Maintain accurate attendance records and distribute daily event reports in Salesforce

Prospect Follow-Up & Support

• Answer questions, provide additional information, and support informed enrollment registration
• Log all communications and tasks in Salesforce
• Reach out to attendees who expressed interest but were unable to register at the event.
• Maintain accuracy and attention to detail across all responsibilities

What We're Looking For

Required

• 2+ years in a guest-facing, customer service, hospitality, or event coordination role
• Naturally warm and professional presence — you make people feel welcomed and at ease
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to accuracy in records and follow-through
• Comfortable in fast-paced, event-day environments
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and CRM
• Available to work weekends and evenings according to the event schedule.
• Reliable transportation is necessary; remote events require local regional travel, up to 75%.

Why Join Trading Academy

We're a mission-driven financial education company that believes in empowering people to take control of their financial future. Our preview events are often the first meaningful touchpoint a prospective student has with us — and the team who runs those events shapes that entire first impression.

• Full training provided — we set you up to succeed
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
• Real opportunity to grow within the organization
