About Counselwell

Counselwell is a leading community for in-house lawyers, offering exclusive and fun networking opportunities, high-impact events, and professional development resources to 1,000+ members across Canada and the US. We bring in-house legal professionals together to connect, share, learn, and accelerate their careers.

We’re awesome.

As we continue to grow (we’re aiming to double our member numbers in 2026), we’re looking for a highly organized, energetic, outgoing, and creative Marketing & Event Coordinator to support our event operations, marketing initiatives, and member experience. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, can work well independently, loves turning ideas into polished execution, and wants to help shape a rapidly scaling community brand.

You’ll work closely with both the Director of Events & Community and the CEO, supporting the planning, execution, and promotion of Counselwell’s events and community initiatives.

We're a small but mighty team - you will be the third person at the company
