Job Summary

As a Conference Planner, you’ll be the go-to pro for executing seamless conferences and events within Capital One’s managed meeting spaces.

• Track meeting space usage, provide suggestions for optimization, and follow up for feedback
• Handle event walkthroughs, pre-cons, cancellations, and last-minute changes like a pro
• Ensure event spaces are clean, functional, and ready to impress

What You Bring:
• 3+ years’ experience in corporate or conference event planning
• Strong organizational chops and the ability to multitask under pressure
• Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and interpersonal
• Tech savvy (Google Suite, reservation systems; AV knowledge is a bonus)
• Positive, can-do attitude and natural rapport-building skills
• Comfortable lifting up to 50 lbs. and being on your feet most of the day
• Willingness to flex hours based on client and event needs

The Ideal Fit:
• Proactive, resourceful, and thrives in fast-paced environments
• Obsessed with the details and delivering top-notch service
• Takes ownership and follows through — no hand-holding required
