Project Manager, International Events and Trade Missions (Federal Contract)

Yeap Inc. is building its team for a U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) contract to plan and run reverse trade missions, conferences, forums, trainings and other events in the United States and overseas. This role is contingent on contract award. Work is assigned event by event, through task orders. Selected candidates will be named in our proposal with a résumé of up to three pages. As Project Manager, you are USTDA's main point of contact and you lead each event from the first plan to closeout.

• Lead complex, multi-part events from planning through closeout: project plans, budgets, schedules, staffing, deliverables and subcontractor performance. • Serve as the primary point of contact for USTDA, and make sure each task order is completed accurately, on schedule, within budget and to USTDA's standards. • Coordinate with government officials, private companies, foreign delegations, speakers, venues and vendors. • Oversee travel and logistics, program development, participant management, risk mitigation, quality control and event-day execution. • Manage several workstreams and competing priorities at the same time.

• At least 10 years of progressively responsible experience planning and managing events: conferences, trade missions, forums, workshops, training programs or similar events, domestic or international. • Proven experience managing complex, multi-part activities, including budgets, schedules, staffing and subcontractors. • Experience coordinating with government officials, companies and foreign delegations. • Strong leadership, communication, organization and problem-solving skills. • Authorized to work in the United States (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or lawfully admitted to work in the U.S.), as the contract requires. • A current résumé of no more than three pages that shows the relevant events and projects, with dates, locations and your role. Preferred: Experience with international events sponsored by the U.S. government (USTDA, State, Commerce or similar) and knowledge of international trade.

Competitive rate. A role on a multi-year federal contract (one base year plus four option years, if awarded), working with Yeap's own event technology for registration, hybrid streaming and live interpretation.
