The Opportunity

GC Collective is looking for an Event Coordinator to help bring our growing calendar of member, community and partner experiences to life.

Our events range from intimate member dinners and executive roundtables to networking events, learning experiences and sponsor-supported gatherings across North America. Each one should feel thoughtful, personal and distinctly GC Collective.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their career who is exceptionally organized, naturally warm and comfortable working with senior professionals. You'll coordinate events from initial planning through execution and follow-up, while helping us manage an increasingly active calendar across multiple cities.

Because we are a growing company, this won't be a role where everything comes with an established playbook. Priorities will evolve, processes will improve and sometimes plans will change quickly. You'll have the chance to help us figure out better ways of doing things, build processes as we grow and take on new responsibilities as the role and business evolve.

About GC Collective

GC Collective is a fast-growing professional members-only community built exclusively for General Counsel and Chief Legal Officers.

We created GC Collective around a simple idea: the people leading corporate in-house legal teams and advising some of the world’s most interesting companies deserve a place to learn, grow and lead alongside peers who truly understand their role. Through leadership programs, intimate dinners, executive roundtables, peer groups and learning experiences, we’re building a different kind of professional community — one grounded in trust, meaningful connection and growth.

We’re still early in our journey, and that’s part of what makes this an exciting time to join us. You’ll become part of a small, entrepreneurial team where your work will be visible and your contribution will matter. You’ll work closely with our Founding Team, interact with some of the most accomplished legal executives in North America, and have the opportunity to help shape how we grow.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need years of event experience. You do need excellent judgment, strong instincts with people and a genuine desire to learn.

You're someone who is

- Exceptionally organized: you enjoy turning lots of moving pieces into a clear plan.
- Warm and polished:



you're comfortable communicating with GCs, executives, sponsors and senior business leaders.
- Detail oriented: you notice the things other people miss.
- Service minded: you naturally think about what someone needs and how to make their experience better.
- Resourceful: when something changes, you look for solutions.
- Proactive: you think about what needs to happen next without waiting to be asked.
- Flexible and comfortable with change: you understand that working in a growing company means priorities, processes and even responsibilities will evolve. You can shift gears without losing momentum.
- Comfortable with ambiguity: you don't need every process to be fully defined before you can move something forward. You're willing to ask questions, use good judgment and help create the playbook as we grow.
- Willing to jump in: we're a small team, and occasionally that means helping with something that doesn't fit neatly inside your .
- A strong communicator: your written and verbal communication is clear, professional and thoughtful.
- Calm under pressure: you can adapt when plans change without letting guests feel the chaos behind the scenes.
- Interested in hospitality and experience: you care about the venue, the welcome, the timing, the introductions and all the details that shape how an event feels.

Experience

This is an early-career role. Relevant experience could come from events, hospitality, marketing, communications, community management, customer experience or professional services.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- Experience coordinating events, meetings, hospitality or client experiences.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Confidence using spreadsheets, project management tools and event platforms.
- Comfort interacting with senior professionals and external partners.
- The ability to manage multiple events, deadlines and priorities at once.

Experience in the legal industry is not required. Curiosity, judgment, professionalism and the ability to learn quickly matters more.

What Success Looks Like

You'll become someone the team can trust to take an event from "we should do this" to "everything is handled."

You'll know what's happening across our event calendar, where we have capacity and what needs attention next. Members will recognize your name. Sponsors and venues will trust you. And the team will have confidence that the details are covered.

Most importantly, you'll help ensure that every GC Collective event feels personal, considered and effortless.

Compensation

$28-$32/hour depending on experience, for approximately 20-25 hours per week
