5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Attendee Refund Requests Escalate to Attendee Engagement Manager for approval and processing. Propose solution to manager, then execute with approval. Approve within defined policy, escalate exceptions.
Event Schedule Changes (minor) Inform manager, update internal documents once approved by Content/Ops. Suggest changes to Content/Ops, communicate to attendees after approval. Recommend and coordinate changes with Content/Ops, manage communication plan.
Technical Troubleshooting (event platform/app) Follow documented steps, escalate to manager if unresolved. Independently troubleshoot, contact platform support if needed, inform manager. Lead troubleshooting, coordinate with platform vendors, define workarounds.
Content for Attendee Communications Use approved templates, draft initial responses for manager review. Adapt templates for specific segments, draft new comms for manager review. Design communication strategy and content, get final sign-off from Marketing.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Attendee Query Resolution Rate
The percentage of attendee questions or issues you successfully resolve without needing to escalate.
Target · 90% or higher

Out of 100 emails and calls received this week, you personally resolved 92 of them, hitting a 92% resolution rate.

Registration Data Accuracy
The percentage of attendee registration records you manage that are free from errors (e.g., typos, incorrect details).
Target · 98% accuracy

After processing 500 registrations, only 5 had errors, meaning a 99% accuracy rate – well done!

Mobile Event App Adoption Rate (Influenced)
The percentage of registered attendees who download and log into the event mobile app, influenced by your communication efforts.
Target · 60% for virtual, 40% for in-person

For our last virtual event, 65% of attendees used the app, showing your pre-event comms worked.

Survey Completion Rate (Post-Session/Event)
The percentage of attendees who complete post-session or post-event surveys, driven by your reminders.
Target · 30% or higher

After a key session, 35% of attendees filled out the feedback form, giving us valuable insights.

Attendee Satisfaction Feedback
Positive comments from attendees about their support experience or the clarity of event communications.
  • Direct emails of thanks, positive mentions in post-event survey comments about 'helpful staff' or 'clear instructions', specific praise for quick responses to queries.
Team Collaboration & Support
How well you work with other teams, like Marketing or Operations, to solve attendee issues.
  • Feedback from colleagues mentioning your helpfulness, proactive sharing of information, smooth handovers of complex issues, and a willingness to jump in and help when needed.
Proactive Problem Spotting
Your ability to notice potential issues before they become big problems for attendees.
  • Pointing out a confusing line in an email draft, flagging a potential clash in the schedule, or noticing a common question pattern that suggests we need better FAQ content.
Adherence to Brand Voice & Guidelines
Ensuring all your communications with attendees sound like 'us' and follow our established tone.
  • Your emails and messages consistently use our friendly, professional tone, avoiding jargon, and always reflecting our brand's personality, without needing constant corrections.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making People Happy

You get a real kick out of resolving an attendee's issue and getting a 'thank you' email. You enjoy knowing your clear instructions helped someone navigate the event easily.

An attendee was struggling to find their virtual session link, and your quick, clear email with step-by-step instructions saved their day. That's a win for you.

Being Part of a Team

You enjoy working closely with others, contributing your piece to a larger puzzle. You're happy to help a colleague and feel a sense of shared accomplishment when an event is successful.

During a busy registration period, you jump in to help the Operations team with badge printing, even if it's not strictly 'your job', because you know it helps everyone.

Learning and Growing

You're keen to pick up new software, understand event logistics, and learn the ins and outs of attendee communication. You see every task as a chance to improve your skills.

You take the initiative to explore new features in Cvent or HubSpot, asking your manager how they could be used for our next event.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with attendees who haven't read the clear instructions you've already sent.
  • Spending time correcting data errors that came from another system or team.
  • The sheer volume of repetitive questions during peak event periods.
  • Feeling like your suggestions for minor improvements aren't always immediately actioned.
  • The occasional late night or early morning during live events, which can be exhausting.
What this role does not give you
  • High-level strategic decision-making (that comes later).
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 schedule (especially around events).
  • Complete autonomy over your projects (you'll have clear guidance).
  • A role where you're constantly innovating brand-new experiences.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts attendee satisfaction and retention. A great attendee experience means people return, recommend us, and ultimately contribute to our event's success and reputation. You're essentially the face and voice of our events for many people, so your work directly shapes their perception of our brand.

Inside the business
  • Marketing Team (for attendee comms)
  • Sales Team (for VIP attendees)
  • Event Operations Team (for on-site logistics)
  • Content Team (for session schedules)
Outside the business
  • Event Attendees (our most important people!)
  • Event Platform Support (when things break)
  • Venue Staff (for on-site assistance)

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine passion for helping people and creating positive experiences.
  • Excellent organisational skills – you're good at keeping track of details.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; you can explain things clearly.
  • Comfortable with learning new software and digital tools quickly.
  • Ability to work effectively in a team and take direction.
  • A cool head under pressure – live events can be intense!
  • Proficiency with basic office software (e.g., Word, Excel, Outlook).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Event Platform Configuration

You'll move from managing basic elements to configuring more complex features within Cvent, Bizzabo, or Hopin. This means understanding how different modules interact and how to customise them for specific event needs.

Custom Registration Paths · API Integrations (Basic) · Advanced Reporting · Gamification Module Setup

  • This week: Ask for access to a 'sandbox' or test environment of our main event platform and play around with advanced settings.
  • This month: Shadow a senior team member as they configure a complex registration path for an upcoming event.
  • Month 2: Take a certified online course for our primary event platform, focusing on advanced features.
  • Month 3: Propose one new feature from the platform that we could use to enhance attendee engagement for our next event.

Quick win: Spend 30 minutes each week exploring a new section of our event platform. You'll be surprised what you find.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and virtual conferences on event technology and attendee experience.
  • Joining online communities or forums for event professionals to learn from peers.
  • Taking short courses on customer service excellence or digital communication.
  • Reading industry blogs and publications to stay updated on trends (e.g., Eventbrite Blog, Skift Meetings).

  • Brand Voice Consistency
  • Output Validation

Basic Data Interpretation & Storytelling

We're collecting more and more data on how attendees interact with our events. You'll need to move beyond just pulling numbers to understanding what those numbers actually mean and why they matter. It's about turning data into insights, even small ones.

  • Trend Identification
  • Basic Visualisation
  • Actionable Insights

Working with AI on the job

Basic Data Analysis & Reporting

Got a pile of survey results? AI can help you quickly identify key themes and pull out the most important insights, giving you a head start on reporting without needing advanced spreadsheet skills.
