Special Events Coordinator

This Isn't Your Typical 8–5 Office Job

If you're looking for a role that keeps you moving, this could be a great fit. The Special Events Coordinator position is a true mix of office coordination and hands-on event support. Approximately 50% of your time will be spent in the office helping with scheduling, planning, onboarding, and event preparation, while the other 50% will have you out in the field helping coordinate and support live events.

We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, can shift gears quickly, and is just as comfortable behind a computer as they are being out in the action.
