Coordinate vendor activities and confirm that facilities, services, and deliverables meet event requirements and established quality standards.

Maintain accurate participant rosters, travel records, schedules, trackers, status reports, action items, and required event documentation.

Collaborate with project managers, solicitation specialists, support scientists, technical teams, and government stakeholders to keep concurrent review activities on schedule.

Maintain the confidentiality and integrity of proposal, reviewer, participant, financial, personally identifiable, and pre-decisional information.

Basic Qualifications:

At least 10 years of professional experience supporting meeting and conference planning;

High school diploma or GED OR

Experience applying federal travel requirements to transportation, lodging, per diem, honoraria, or reimbursement activities.

Experience using event-management platforms, virtual meeting tools, travel systems, or client-specific peer-review and grants-management systems.
