The Role

Reporting to the Event and Mobile Marketing Manager, as Marketing and Event Coordinator, you will coordinate several key programs and projects in this highly visible, fast-paced role. Your activities will focus on the oversight, planning and execution of three key functions:

• The Mobile Showroom program
• The Innovation Showroom and Red Carpet Tours program
• Product procurement and replacement

Overseeing the day-to-day operations of our Mobile Showroom program will be a central component to the role, and your duties will involve working closely with the drivers and logistics management company that services the fleet, liaising with the sales force, and orchestrating all of the stops that these "trade shows on wheels" will be routed to. You'll also coordinate special events, fleet vehicle repairs, and the upkeep and improvement of the displays. It will be your job to serve as the glue holding the program together and assist with the resolution of any other problems that might come up out on the road.

Your activities involving the event planning of The Innovation Showroom and Red Carpet Tours program will be highly customer focused. You will be the face of the showroom to our top customers, ensuring everything is set up, clean and ready to go prior to each new tour, while also sending out the communications materials to the sales reps, tour guide, and any executives who need to attend the tour or showroom event.

Procuring and replacing products for the fleet vehicles, displays, trade shows and Innovation Showroom will round out your key responsibilities as Marketing and Event Coordinator. You'll work with contacts across our portfolio of leading brands, our display house and third-party vendors to order the appropriate products, displays, and promotional items needed for the successful operation of these programs and events.

It's important to note that although this is a high-profile role, it is also highly administrative. Within each of your areas of responsibility you'll track budgets, reconcile invoices, manage scheduling, create reports and handle other components such as booking caterers and meeting rooms. Quick question for you - click here

Why ASSA ABLOY

High-profile impact -- our Mobile Showroom fleet not only differentiates us in the marketplace, it also allows our sales professionals to get out into their sales territories and sell our products and door security solutions, while our Innovation Showroom enables top customers and other visitors to experience the true power of our solutions up close and in person. You'll enjoy the satisfaction that comes with knowing that your activities have a direct and positive impact on the organization's growth and brand recognition. 

Never a dull moment -- with a sales organization spread across the continent, you'll need to be highly responsive, keeping in contact and following up to ensure the sales reps, drivers, and management company have what they need. It's safe to say that you'll rarely (if ever) experience the same day twice around here!

Resources and autonomy -- you'll work in the same building as the Innovation Showroom, and you'll have other resources at your disposal. You will expand your knowledge and experience in project management, procurement and other activities, and gain valuable exposure to multiple business lines. At the same time, we'll look to you to achieve your goals independently, giving you the "elbow room" you need to succeed.

Great environment -- in ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions we've created a culture that allows talented, energetic people to flourish. That culture includes a strong belief in the value our products and solutions deliver, an emphasis on integrity and an appreciation for the power of teamwork. These are just some of the reasons we have very low turnover; people like working for ASSA ABLOY.

The "best of both worlds" -- you'll share in the entrepreneurial energy with which Door Security Solutions goes to market. At the same time, you'll enjoy the stability and resources of the parent company, ASSA ABLOY, a multi-billion dollar global leader in door opening solutions.

Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and bonus incentive program, we offer comprehensive benefits.

Keys to Success

First and foremost, to excel in this role you'll need to be an expert project manager and a driven professional who is well versed at managing multiple priorities and tight timelines, while adhering to budgetary constraints. You will be an excellent communicator and have the ability to collaborate and build relationships with a variety of internal and external contacts including customers, vendors, and your colleagues throughout all levels of the organization -- from department leaders to members of the executive management team. We're looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves to pack up boxes one day, and then put on a business suit to greet one of our top customers the next day.

This is a demanding role that will require a strong work ethic and the ability to keep a lot of balls in the air. If you have a knack for staying calm in a high-pressure environment and always saying yes with a smile, then this could be the ideal role for you.
