Planned is an AI-native event management platform that helps companies streamline their meetings & events booking process. We make it easy for anyone to plan successful events while giving finance teams the visibility and control they need to maximize their budget. Planned already works with over 200 companies across North America, such as; PwC, L'Oréal, Google, Samsung & Airbnb.

We're on a mission to disrupt a $500+ billion industry. To achieve that, we want to work with brilliant minds and natural leaders who are driven to out-think, out-plan, and outperform the competition. We tackle every business decision with enthusiasm, and we love the work that we do!

As our Event Supply Specialist, you'll source supplier rates and availability at scale, keeping the Planned marketplace accurate, responsive, and competitive in real time. You'll manage a high volume of supplier interactions, maintain strong relationships, and help expand into new markets.

This is an AI-forward role. You'll use AI tools daily as a co-pilot and bring the judgment, relationships, and process thinking that make the output reliable. You don't need to be technical on day one, but you should be curious about making AI work harder for the team.

*Please note, this is an entry-level position*

What You'll Do

Marketplace operations

Support the daily operations of the Planned marketplace, monitoring sourcing health, flagging friction points, and helping resolve issues as they come up.

What We're Looking For

Impeccable organization - ablility to manage a high volume of tasks simultaneously
Strong work ethic and dedication - a real passion for improvement
