Job opening - Event Engineers aka Techies That Like People at SpotMe (Chicago, IL)

Do something great with your passion for technology

Working closely with conference event organizers for over 12 years, SpotMe has been in the business of helping craft some of the most meaningful meeting experiences in the world through proper use of technology. Previously having delivered solutions on our proprietary, self-designed Spotme Handheld, we've now released and are delivering the latest iteration, the SpotMe iOS (Android soon) App service for meetings and events worldwide.

We are looking for skilled and motivated people to work as freelance or full-time within our Event Operations team based in Chicago, IL.

Freelancers

Candidates interested in part-time/freelance work can expect regular work to the tune of one week a month (one week of solid on-site/at-event time).  We will help you understand our methodologies and best-practices, as well as train you on the basics of o! ur mobile platforms.  When on-site, you will primarily help with equipment setup, network debugging, assisting participants with their questions or issues, and equipment teardown.  Other areas such as running the live audience response component in a session room or training a speaker on how to use the Q&A feature are probabilities depending on the event.

To be considered, you must be able and willing to travel for these durations and understand that means working 12-16 hour days when the conference is taking place.

Full-time

Candidates interested in full-time work can expect the same as Freelancers, with additional responsiblities and benefits.  Primarily this means taking ownership of an actual event and managing the on-site team and service yourself (after proper experience and training!).  You will also be part of our core Event Operations team, where your input and actions have direct an! d immediate effects on our business and methodologies.

Travel is usually no more than twice a month for 5-7 days, but can vary on either side depending on season and volume.  You must be willing and able to commit to this, as well as understanding that you're likely going to have to work late hours until you get fully up-to-speed.
