Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the planning and execution of multi-day conferences in the animal care industry. You will own project timelines, drive task execution across cross-functional teams, and ensure every event component is delivered accurately, on schedule, and to the highest standard. This role is for someone who thrives in structured, high-volume environments, takes ownership of outcomes, and uses every tool available — including AI — to stay ahead of complexity and keep projects on track.

What You'll Do

• Build, manage, and track detailed project plans across multiple concurrent conferences, ensuring all deliverables are completed on time and dependencies are actively monitored
• Use AI tools to improve project planning efficiency, automate status tracking, and accelerate documentation and reporting workflows
• Coordinate task assignments across cross-functional teams, following through to completion and proactively resolving blockers before they become delays
• Lead planning and execution of multi-day conference logistics including agendas, breakout sessions, run-of-show documents, and execution checklists
• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for internal teams, clients, and vendors, maintaining clear communication on responsibilities, timelines, and expectations
• Coordinate with venues, AV teams, and vendors to confirm deliverables, track contracts, and ensure all logistical details — travel, materials, staffing — are documented and on track
• Escalate risks, delays, or issues in a timely manner with a clear path to resolution
• Maintain standardized processes and documentation across project management and event platforms to ensure consistency and compliance across all events
• Support on-site event delivery by managing schedules, materials, and team coordination, troubleshooting issues as they arise to ensure a smooth experience for attendees and stakeholders
• Lead post-event reconciliation and reporting, capturing metrics, documenting outcomes, and contributing insights that improve processes for future events

What Sets You Apart

• 5 to 8 or more years of project management or event coordination experience, with a strong track record managing detailed timelines and high-volume task execution
• Highly organized and detail-oriented — you thrive in structured environments and nothing falls through the cracks on your watch
• An AI-native mindset. You actively use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or project automation platforms to improve how you plan, communicate, and execute
• Effective communicator with the ability to coordinate across multiple internal teams, clients, and external vendors simultaneously
• Comfortable managing several projects at once in a fast-paced environment without losing quality or momentum
• You follow through — stakeholders trust you because your commitments are reliable and your progress is visible
• Experience in conferences, events, or the animal care or veterinary industry strongly preferred
• Familiarity with tools such as Bizzabo, Cvent, or Workfront a plus

AI Capability Expectation

Candidates should be prepared to discuss how they are currently using AI in their work. This includes:

• Specific tools in active use
• Tasks or workflows where AI is regularly applied
• Measurable impact such as time saved, improved accuracy, or increased capacity
• Bonus: examples of AI-driven workflows or systems developed to manage complex, multi-workstream projects

Compensation Range

$75,000 to $90,000 per year, depending on qualifications. Eligible for annual company bonus program or commission incentive based on role. Compensation will depend on factors including educational background, skills, and professional experience.
