## About the role

Own Kaizen's events strategy end-to-end. Build and run the annual calendar, anchored to the federal buying year: fiscal year-end, agency budget windows, and the conferences where our buyers actually show up Decide where Kaizen shows up and where it doesn't. Evaluate conferences and sponsorships, negotiate levels and booth placement with organizers, and be willing to walk away. A defensible no matters as much as a good yes

## What they're looking for

- You've built an events program rather than inherited one, owning the strategy, the budget, the vendor bench, and the measurement
- You know the federal conference landscape, or you'll learn it quickly, and you can tell a show that draws program offices and CIOs from one that only draws vendors
- You have strong taste and can defend it. You've walked a venue and known it was wrong, and you've ended a sponsorship everyone assumed would renew
- You think in pipeline rather than attendance, and you've defended an events budget with something more rigorous than photos and a headcount
- You're comfortable in the operational detail: shipping, badge scans, AV failures, staffing, and the seating chart that determines whether a dinner works
- You're credible with senior government audiences, from a two-star Army general to an agency CIO to a contracting officer
