About Reingold
Reingold is a full-service marketing and creative firm in Alexandria, VA. For more than 40 years, we’ve been driven by a simple mission: to help organizations –– whether in the government, nonprofit, or business sector –– as they strive to make the world a better place. We hire top-notch talent to develop and launch compelling, inventive communications campaigns, leveraging the latest technology and digital media strategies that enable our clients to meet their audiences where they are.
We’re proud to say we’ve built a team of curious, passionate pros — from marketers and tech wizards to designers and strategists — who love what they do and bring their A-game every day. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We believe great ideas come from collaboration, humor, and a little bit of fun along the way.
When you work at Reingold, you get more than a job, you get a community. We offer competitive salaries, a comprehensive benefits package, a dynamic hybrid work environment, a vibrant workplace and growth opportunities in a variety of specialty areas. That means when we find great people (and they find us), they stick around for the long term.
That's where you come in. We’re looking for an event coordinator to provide planning, coordination, and logistical support for national‑level science and research outreach events, conferences, and trade shows.

The event coordinator will work closely with program staff, subcontractors, and logistics vendors to ensure events are delivered on schedule, within scope, and in compliance with federal requirements.
Please note this role is contingent on contract award.
This is a hybrid role requiring at least two days per week on-site at Reingold's headquarters in Alexandria, VA.
