Arlington, United States Manufactured Housing Institute Full time

Our Client The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is hiring a Meeting Event Manager. The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is the national trade association representing all segments of the factory-built housing industry. MHI works to promote and protect the interests of our 1,000+ member companies, including home manufacturers, retailers, community owners, developers, lenders, and other professionals dedicated to building high-quality, attainable housing. With a commitment to quality, speed, and flexibility, MHI operates as a hardworking and supportive organization that values strategic thinking and operational efficiency.


WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We’re excited to welcome an energetic, fast-paced Meeting Event Manager who is looking to grow and make a significant impact. This role is perfect for a candidate with 2-3 years of experience in event management who is ready to take the next step in their career and thrive in a dynamic, high-touch environment. Reporting to the Senior Director of Meetings, you’ll be deeply involved in every aspect of MHI’s events—planning, logistics, coordination, and post-event follow-up. This role offers plenty of variety and collaboration, allowing you to wear multiple hats and work across various teams and departments to ensure a seamless event experience for MHI’s members.


In this role, you will:


Event & Registration Management

  • Act as a hands-on partner, coordinating the entire event lifecycle, including the registration setup, testing, and pricing for multiple ongoing events.
  • Collaborate closely with the marketing team to ensure all event-related information is up-to-date on our website, managing updates in real time as event details evolve.
  • Be responsible for monitoring registration trends and creating weekly registration reports to keep stakeholders informed.
  • Coordinate housing logistics for staff, vendors, and VIP attendees, ensuring all accommodations align with our event needs.

Exhibitor & Vendor Management

  • Serve as the main point of contact for exhibitors, handling inquiries, updating information, and ensuring a smooth experience throughout MHI’s Congress & Expo.
  • Engage in vendor selection and coordination, including handling RFPs, comparing pricing, and making recommendations, followed by daily communications to keep them aligned with our needs.
  • Oversee smaller vendor relationships, including temporary staff and security, with a focus on proactive coordination.

Collaborative Project Support

  • Partner with the marketing team to maintain and launch event websites, working together to keep all digital platforms updated and ready for event launches.
  • Assist in initial event planning by creating event specifications and supporting documentation, working alongside the Director to finalize logistics.

Post-Event Reconciliation

  • Handle post-event wrap-up, including reviewing bills and helping with reconciliation to ensure accurate invoicing and coding processes.


Why You’ll Love This Role

This position is perfect for someone who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment with lots of variety. You’ll get to work on multiple events at once—no two days will be the same Flexibility, a positive attitude, and a strong commitment to teamwork will help you excel, as you’ll play a crucial role in helping MHI deliver a seamless and exceptional event experience. With some travel (5-6 times per year) and hands-on involvement, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to learn, grow, and contribute to a small but mighty team.


Position Details

  • Location: Arlington, VA (Hybrid – Tuesdays through Thursdays in-office)
  • Schedule Flexibility: This position may require occasional weekend availability depending on event schedules.
  • Travel: Required 5-6 times per year.


Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in event management, hospitality, marketing, or related experience.
  • 2-3 years of direct experience managing events in a fast-paced setting, ideally in a professional association or corporate environment.
  • Proven ability to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously, with strong organizational skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and manage vendor relationships effectively.
  • Willingness to take initiative, solve problems creatively, and contribute to an evolving event strategy.


WHY WORK FOR US?

We are a thriving trade organization providing opportunities to innovate and drive growth within our sector. MHI offers a competitive compensation package, a hybrid work environment, and benefits including health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurances; a 401(k) program; paid parking; cell phone reimbursement; and more.
