The Bottom Line
We’ve got a good thing started and we’re looking for the next team member to jump on board and run with it! You absolutely must be able to work Friday nights and weekends (like, almost every week). You have to love working with adults AND children. And you have to LOVE planning and running events, including the boring budgeting part and cleaning up after a gang of eight year olds manage to spill soda and cake on every single square foot we own.
Compensation
Pay will be determined by your experience. This could easily turn into a full-time position if you are the right fit and want the hours. We know how important this position is to our growing line of businesses and want to compensate the right person so they feel valued for their work and time. Also, you get a pretty good employee discount on all the cute notebooks and pens your multi-tasking heart desires. And chocolate. And stuffed animals. And Hydro Flasks. And funny cards. You get the idea.
