Job Description
We are looking for an experienced workflow / CRM / project-management setup specialist to help us optimize our current system and improve how our Events Department manages projects, expenses, and reporting.
My name is Rachel, and I am the Director of Special Events for a large hospital system in Florida. Our internal Events Department supports hundreds of events each year, and we currently use 17Hats as a project management and expense tracking tool, although we are using it very differently than most small businesses would.
We have tested several platforms (Monday.com, Basecamp, and others), but none of them allowed us to manage both event workflows AND expense tracking in one place, which is why we continue to use 17Hats.
At this point, we need expert help to properly configure our system so it actually works for our department.
Current Situation
We currently have 364 active events on the calendar
We recently created an intake form workflow for internal clients
We need help building the full event planning workflow structure
We need automation between phases of planning
We need better expense tracking and reporting
We do not have time internally to rebuild the system while also supporting events
What We Need Help With
We are looking for someone who can:
Evaluate how we are currently using 17Hats
Recommend improvements OR alternative systems if needed
Build workflow phases for event planning (intake → planning → execution → closeout → reporting)
Automate internal notifications, task lists, and phase changes
Help configure expense tracking in a way that allows reporting by event
Help create usable reports for leadership (event counts, costs, categories, etc.)
Possibly help design a better structure if another platform would work better
This is not a basic setup — this is a custom internal operations workflow for a hospital events department.
Ideal Experience
We are looking for someone with experience in:
17Hats (preferred)
Monday.com / ClickUp / Asana / Airtable / similar tools
Workflow automation
CRM / project management setup
Reporting dashboards
Expense tracking systems
Operations consulting (preferred)
Experience with event planning workflows is a plus
Work Schedule / Availability
We are located in Florida (USA, Eastern Time).
We are typically available between 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM EST for meetings and collaboration.
This will likely start as a short-term project but could turn into ongoing work.
To Apply
Please include:
Your experience with 17Hats or similar systems
Examples of workflow systems you have built
Experience with reporting / dashboards
Your availability for calls in Eastern Time
If you have experience customizing systems for internal teams, operations, or event departments, please mention that.
