The Opportunity

The Sponsorship & Events Assistant focuses on client service by providing administrative support in the areas of sponsorship, events, client gifts, and branded merchandise. Responsibilities include tracking, processing and filing of invoices and departmental Visa statements, communicating with vendors, the tracking of Firm memberships and assisting with lawyer registration for events and conferences.

The successful candidate will be responsible for merchandise and client gift needs including: tracking inventory, working closely with vendors and suppliers to place orders when needed, forecasting needs, sourcing items, packaging and shipping client gifts. This also includes the ordering, tracking and distribution of non-marketing merchandise and gifts for other departments within the Firm, which can include working directly with lawyers and Firm management.

Other key tasks include providing administrative support for events, such as receptions and seminars, including creation of event materials, assisting with travel arrangements, on-site event set-up, and event assistance.

If you have excellent administrative skills, a high attention to detail and the ability to work independently and as part of a cross-functional team, we want to hear from you! Flexibility to work outside regular hours to support events is required, particularly during peak event seasons, with overtime available.
