We are searching for the best talent for a Global Event Management Operations Coordinator. This hybrid role will be in New Brunswick, NJ.

At Johnson & Johnson, we believe good health is the foundation of vibrant lives, thriving communities, and forward progress. That’s why for more than 130 years, we have aimed to keep people well at every age and every stage of life. Today, as the world’s largest and most broadly-based healthcare company, we are committed to using our reach and size for good, and we strive to improve access and affordability, create healthier communities, and put a healthy mind, body, and environment in reach of everyone, everywhere.
