·      Conference operations coordinators to coordinate and ensure timeliness of event deliverables including signage and program guides. Manage conference-related research, assist with on-site conference logistics, and edit conference presentations. Exceptional organizational, communication, and computer skills are a must!

To succeed in an entry-level role at WIS, you’ll have to be flexible and have a “whatever it takes” attitude. You’ll also need to be highly organized and detail-oriented.

In exchange for your skills and talents, we offer a competitive salary and full benefits including Harvard Pilgrim healthcare insurance, dental, supplemental life, and reduced-rate auto insurance, as well as a 401(k) plan with up to a $1,500 company match, and more.  To top it off, we provide free, fresh bagels every Wednesday morning, and all the snacks, soda, and coffee that you need to keep going everyday.

More importantly, you’ll become a key player on a fun-loving team at a rapidly growing publishing and conference company. There are many exciting career paths you can pursue, and great people will support you along the way.
