Job Overview: Event Production Assistant

From Day One, Inc. is seeking a “driver”—a self-motivated, relentlessly resourceful Event Production Assistant—to join their Brooklyn-based media and conference series. This role is a blend of logistical mastery and high-level coordination, supporting a nationwide calendar of live and virtual conferences that explore the intersection of business and society.

This is a remote-first position for NYC-area residents that offers a stable, long-term career path with a focus on high-quality production during daytime business hours.

Key Responsibilities & Mission

Live Event Logistics

Technical Management: Coordinate with A/V teams on audio/visual requirements and manage complex rental orders and vendor requirements.
On-Site Planning: Create detailed venue layouts, develop comprehensive run-of-show schedules, and oversee the hiring of temporary event staff.
Sponsor Relations: Diligently manage sponsor deliverables, including the shipping of display items and the preparation of presentation media.

Virtual Event Production

Platform Management: Assist in producing virtual experiences on platforms like Zoom and Hopin, including template setup and schedule management.
Role Staffing: Ensure all key virtual roles are staffed and that digital events transition as seamlessly as live conferences.

Operational “Drivership”

Process Improvement: Actively seek ways to refine production workflows rather than just following existing templates.
Stakeholder Communication: Provide highly responsive service via email, phone, and in-person interaction with speakers and cross-disciplinary leaders.

Qualifications & Requirements

Professional Profile

Education: A 4-year college/university degree is required, supported by a strong academic background.
Experience: Minimum of 2 years of full-time, post-graduation professional experience.
Event Mastery: Demonstrated skill in vendor contracting, catering planning, and event production rentals. Experience in corporate conferences or executive networking is a significant plus.

Technical & Cultural Alignment

Financial Literacy: Fluency with modern budgeting practices and the ability to manage complex spreadsheets.
Residency: Must live in the broader NYC area (near a major airport) for occasional meetings in DUMBO and frequent travel to national events.
Mindset: You must be a “driver” who approaches challenges with optimism and brings a sense of urgency to the mission.

Compensation & Comprehensive Benefits

Salary: $55,000 per year (starting) with regular opportunities for raises and advancement.
Health & Wellness: Fully paid medical, dental, and vision coverage.
Work-Life Balance: Competitive vacation policies, including designated summer and winter breaks.
Ownership: Participation in the company employee stock plan.
Travel: Opportunities to visit more than 20 major U.S. cities as part of the conference series.

Why Join From Day One?

From Day One is not just a conference series; it is a media outlet dedicated to putting people first in the changing business landscape. For an Event Production Assistant, this offers:

Stable Innovation: A long-term role with the stability of a healthy schedule combined with the excitement of a high-growth media company.
Collaborative Network: Interaction with a cross-disciplinary group of authors, journalists, and civic leaders.
Mission-Driven Work: A culture that values diversity, inclusion, and a belief that the future can be made better through thoughtful business strategies.

Application Information

Interested “drivers” should apply through the From Day One career portal. Your application should demonstrate your resourcefulness and your ability to deliver high-quality production outcomes without needing constant “passenger” instruction.

The Company & Culture
From Day One is a “people-first” conference series and media platform that explores the evolving relationship between companies and their employees. Its culture is deeply rooted in journalistic integrity and corporate responsibility, founded by veteran journalists from Time and Fortune. The internal vibe is described as one of “self-motivated drivers”—employees who are autonomous, high-energy, and passionate about topics like DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), mental health, and the future of work. As a mission-driven organization, they don’t just talk about corporate values; they aim to model them, fostering a collaborative environment where storytelling and community-building are at the heart of everything they do.

The Location
While the company is officially Brooklyn-based, it operates with a highly progressive, remote-first model. Its “flagship” events are often held at iconic local venues like the Brooklyn Museum, keeping the brand anchored in the borough’s creative and intellectual energy. For employees, this means the “office” is wherever you are, though much of the core team is concentrated in Brooklyn. This allows for a unique blend of digital-nomad flexibility and local “meet-ups” or social gatherings for staff who wish to connect in person.
