Events Coordinator (Temporary Maternity Cover)

Duration: 1 year 

Start Date: April

As the AWS Innovation Partner of the Year, Loka works hard to make a positive impact on the world. Our teams have helped companies eliminate billions of dollars in food waste, bring life-changing healthcare technology to market, and scale AI products that millions of people rely on every day. All of this while enjoying every other Friday off (yes, really).

Events play a critical role in making that impact possible. Last year alone, we supported more than 150 events. That work helped earn Loka global recognition, and it’s why events remain one of our most important growth levers.

That’s the broad pitch. Now let’s talk about you.

As the CMO at Loka, I’m looking for a Temporary Events Coordinator to step in during a maternity leave and help keep this engine running smoothly. This role is fully focused on events, end to end. From kickoff to follow-up. From booking venues and managing vendors to coordinating internal teams, purchasing swag, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

I’m looking for someone who is passionate about organization, thrives in motion, and is a world-class communicator. The kind of person who can confidently manage multiple events at once while keeping both internal and external partners aligned, informed, and energized.

This is a 1 year role designed to cover a critical period for our events program.
