  • Strong organizational and leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
  • Effectively and proactively communicate with all stakeholders—including event staff, participants, and the Event Operations Team—to ensure alignment and smooth execution.
  • Anticipate challenges and identify creative, effective solutions under pressure.
  • Take ownership of outcomes and hold event staff to Prep Network’s standards for quality and professionalism.
  • Operate independently with initiative, reliability, and follow-through.
  • Continuously look for ways to improve event quality, efficiency, and the overall participant experience.
  • Treat each Prep Network event as their own, striving for excellence and ensuring every event reflects positively on both the company and their personal reputation.
