We’re looking for an experienced, highly organized, and community-minded Events Manager to lead the planning and execution of our in-store and offsite events. This role owns the end-to-end event process—from concept and logistics through on-site execution and post-event analysis—and serves as the central point of contact across Creative, Operations, and external partners. 

This is a hands-on, highly visible role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, builds strong relationships, and brings calm, confident leadership to every event. You’ll manage a high volume of events with significant travel and operate as a one-person function, requiring both strategic thinking and strong executional skills.

The Role: 

• Own the conception, creative direction, planning and execution of 2–4 events per month, including in-store activations, brand events, partnerships, and offsite experiences

• Partner closely with Creative and Operations teams to align on event vision, timelines, and logistics, ensuring all needs are met seamlessly

• Lead event logistics end-to-end, including budgets, timelines, run of show, staffing, travel, shipping, and on-site coordination

• Create clear and compelling event documentation, including agendas, overviews, proposals, and event portfolios

• Serve as the on-site lead and subject-matter expert during events, troubleshooting in real time and ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish

• Build and maintain strong vendor and partner relationships, negotiating services and managing contracts to ensure quality and value

• Manage cross-functional communication before, during, and after events to ensure alignment and accountability

• Evaluate event performance and impact, preparing post-event recaps and insights to inform future planning

• Act as the sole owner of the events function, bringing structure, consistency, and continuous improvement to the program

You: 

• 5–8 years of experience in event management, experiential marketing, or event operations

• A natural relationship-builder—extroverted, personable, and comfortable engaging with vendors, partners, and internal stakeholders

• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple events and priorities simultaneously

• Calm, adaptable, and solutions-oriented under pressure

• Strong communicator with excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Confident working independently in a one-person department while collaborating cross-functionally

• Comfortable with frequent travel and hands-on, on-site execution

• Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving instincts

• Basic design skills (e.g., creating simple decks or visual materials) are a plus

• Ability to conceptualize on-brand and compelling event ideas. 

The expected starting salary range is $90,000-$100,000
