  • Support sales process and coordinate order fulfillment
  • Produce and / or procure marketing materials for trade shows, conferences, and career fairs
  • Organize company events, meetings, and travel logistics
  • Maintain organized digital and physical filing systems for corporate, financial, and project records

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience preferred
