is a descriptive header in the original; the role is described as an Event Manager at Koch Engineered Solutions responsible for executing approximately 30 tradeshows, customer events, technical trainings, and other sponsored activities each year. This role focuses on project management, event coordination, logistics ownership, vendor management, and operational delivery. You will partner closely with Segment Marketing and business commercial teams to ensure every event has clear objectives, strong representation, and exceptional execution. You will manage event logistics endtoend, including space/venue selection, booth assets, equipment, promotional items, global inventory, onsite vendor coordination, and postevent analysis, ensuring accountability, consistency, and continuous improvement across the full event portfolio. This role is based in
Wichita, Kansas
and requires up to
20% travel . What You Will Do
Lead endtoend delivery of ~30 events annually, including tradeshows, customer events, technical seminars, and sponsored activities, ensuring each has clear objectives, strong representation, and flawless execution. Own all logistics: venue sourcing, booth and equipment coordination, furniture and labor needs, promo items, custom orders, shipping, and multievent scheduling. Manage inventory for booths, displays, gear, and event materials; maintain accuracy, organization, and readiness; expand processes to support international regions. Coordinate and manage vendors: evaluate options, secure preferred partners, manage contracts and onsite labor, and oversee setup/teardown as needed. Collaborate crossfunctionally with Segment Marketing (strategy owners) and business commercial teams to ensure aligned execution and strong event coverage. Provide selective onsite support (up to ~20% travel) for registration oversight, vendor management, and quality assurance - not as a sales or customerfacing role. Apply projectmanagement discipline: timelines, milestones, risks, contingency planning, and proactive gapspotting to ensure accountability and consistent delivery. Manage budgets and compliance across all events; track spend, steward resources, and follow established operational and regulatory procedures. Drive scalable, repeatable systems by creating processes, refining standards, using automation and AI and helping shift toward more KEShosted events for greater control and improved outcomes. Operate as a proactive owner who challenges assumptions, anticipates issues, strengthens crossteam alignment, and elevates opportunities for better execution. Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)
Experience planning and executing professional events, tradeshows, or trainings. Experience coordinating event logistics such as venue selection, equipment, materials, shipping, or vendor management. Experience managing multiple concurrent projects or deadlines. Experience working crossfunctionally (e.g., marketing, sales, operations, vendors). Experience tracking budgets, expenses, or resource utilization. Experience managing or maintaining inventory, materials, or physical assets. What Will Put You Ahead
Experience coordinating and managing a highvolume event portfolio. Experience supporting events across multiple business units or product lines. Experience evaluating vendors, negotiating services, or managing sponsorship deliverables. At Koch companies, we are entrepreneurs. This means we openly challenge the status quo, find new ways to create value and get rewarded for our individual contributions.
