Events Coordinator

Events Coordinator

Solink is a different kind of data analytics software company.  We've successfully made video security a source of powerful insight for business owners of franchise and retail chains. We focus on security applications that combat fraud proactively and make it easier for owners to track down problems. Today we focus on loss prevention and in the future, we see every department using video to make data-driven decisions: marketing, operations, and even HR.

A job at Solink means working with an amazing team and tackling one of the biggest data problems out there.  We are venture-backed and focus on continuous execution to delight our customers.  We have a creative and collaborative work environment, and all of our employees have meaningful equity in the company.

A bit about the role…
As our Events Coordinator, you will own the planning and execution of in-person events and trade shows focused on the SMB market across North America. You will manage all logistics—from pre-event promotion and travel coordination to setup, teardown, and post-event follow-up—ensuring smooth lead hand-offs and timely follow-up with our Sales team.

WHO YOU ARE: 

• You have 1–2 years of experience managing in-person events, preferably within the marketing or events field.

• You demonstrate excellent collaboration skills and can work effectively with multiple stakeholder groups.

• Your detail-oriented approach is supported by proven project management skills and the ability to manage multiple events simultaneously.

• You are budget-conscious and proficient in CRM systems (experience with HubSpot or Salesforce is a plus) as well as Google Suite and project planning tools.

• You are comfortable working evenings or weekends when events require it, and you are based in or near Ottawa with access to reliable transportation.
  

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

• Candidates must undergo a criminal records check upon hire;

• Eligible to work in Canada;

• Be willing to comply with Solink’s own security policies and standards.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

• Plan and execute in-person events and trade shows across North America.

• Manage all event logistics, including shipments, staffing, setup, teardown, and post-event follow-up.
