Job Summary

As a Meeting & Events Planner, you’ll be the go-to pro for executing seamless conferences and events within Capital One’s managed meeting spaces. From booking rooms to coordinating AV, catering, and day-of logistics, you ensure everything runs like clockwork — while keeping client satisfaction front and center.

What You’ll Do :

  • Act as the main point of contact for event planning and execution
  • Manage reservations, room setups, AV needs, and catering coordination
  • Provide on-site support for events and liaise with internal teams (facilities, guest services, janitorial, etc.)
  • Communicate effectively across channels to keep stakeholders informed
  • 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
  • Knows how to keep things running smoothly while keeping clients happy
  • Passionate about hospitality and elevating the guest experience
  • Apply to Rapport today!
