This individual will work closely with the Senior Event Coordinator and Director of Office Launch to support company-wide events and initiatives while helping develop scalable processes that support Cornerstone’s continued nationwide growth. The Events Coordinator will serve as a key partner in ensuring events are organized, professional, cost-effective, and aligned with the company’s culture and objectives.
