Summary
The Market Communication Coordinator’s primary responsibility is supporting the partnership between Event 360’s Production Team and the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) staff and volunteers, for all tasks surrounding the planning and execution of the PurpleStride event series.
PanCAN PurpleStride is a national fundraising event series taking place in 56 cities around the U.S. in 2025. All 56 events take place on the same day in April, an unprecedented feat in the world of event production.

The Market Communications Coordinator will report directly to Event 360’s PurpleStride Account Manager and secondarily to Event 360’s Director of Production and PurpleStride Account Director.

The position is classified as exempt, and is home-office based, strategically located around the United States to meet the needs of the company. The position may require significant travel, in support of PurpleStride and/or other Event 360 projects (as needed).
