Event Manager

EnMotive, a Gannett Company, is a full-service event services company offering registration, timing, scoring, and a wide range of other endurance event solutions. We work with over 1,000 events per year, using a combination of in-house registration, fundraising, and volunteer software as well as industry-leading external race timing software. We are looking for passionate, detail-oriented, computer & technology-savvy individuals with the desire to help grow our business and integrate our software solutions to support our mission to become "the one-stop source" for endurance and ticketing events.

Candidates should have strong customer service skills, a high degree of computer expertise, a broad knowledge of setting up networks, database management skills, be highly organized, and a self-starter. All candidates must be comfortable working independently and as a member of a team. Applicants should be comfortable and thrive in a fast-paced and sometimes stressful environment. All positions will require some travel and the ability to work weekend events. Training will be provided for specific responsibilities; however, applicants must be eager and capable of learning software programs and technology on their own. Familiarity with the running, triathlon, and obstacle racing event space is a plus.
