Are you passionate about pushing boundaries of what's possible? We are committed to technological innovation and excellence in everything we do. KEMET, a YAGEO Group company, is seeking an Events and Marketing Coordinator in our Simpsonville, SC location. This is an onsite role.

This detail-oriented coordinator will be expected to own end-to-end logistics, keep every deadline on track, and make sure each show floor or distributor event runs flawlessly.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the US events calendar - exhibitions, distributor meetings, roadshows and any customer-facing company event.
• Project-manage every detail - venue contracts, vendor quotes, booth builds, freight, graphics production, hotel blocks, catering, badge registration, on-site services.
• Timeline & budget control - create Gantt/critical-path schedules and track spend vs. approved budget; surface variances early.
• Brand guardianship on site - ensure booths, signage and collateral meet brand guidelines; coordinate with design team so graphics are ready on time.
• Show-time execution - be on-site (or remote-support) to handle last-minute hiccups and keep stakeholders informed.
• Post-event debrief - gather metrics (leads, traffic, costs), summarize lessons learned, and recommend optimizations.
• MarCom support between events - help update brochures, proofread assets, coordinate shipments, and pitch in on any day-to-day marketing tasks the team needs.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor Degree in Marketing or related field.

Required Qualifications:

• 3+ years' hands-on experience in event coordination, trade-show logistics or experiential marketing.
• Superb organizational skills and relentless attention to detail; nothing slips through the cracks.
• Working knowledge of basic marketing-communications workflows (collateral updates, asset proofing, vendor management).
• Comfortable juggling multiple projects with tight deadlines.
• Eligibility to travel within the US (and occasionally internationally, if needed).

Preferred:

• Experience with B2B industrial or electronics events.
• Familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud or similar for quick graphic tweaks.
• Prior exposure to marketing automation (HubSpot, Marketo) or CRM lead-capture workflows.
• Spanish or Mandarin language skills.
