This individual will assist the Director of Events with all aspects of the organization’s event production efforts.

The candidate will oversee customer relations surrounding our events. Strong customer relations experience is helpful and experience dealing with customer issues is a plus.

Specific duties include recruiting bands, spirit groups, announcers and other talent as needed, along with coordinating sound systems and electrical needs at all events. This requires managing staff and volunteers to assist with the entertainment setup. An interest in music, sound system equipment, and the ability to research bands will be essential. Further, this individual will be required to assist with and manage general event set-up and breakdown and warehouse operations. Being able to physically move heavy sports and sound equipment will be essential.

The candidate must be detail-oriented, have strong organizational skills and be able to communicate effectively on the phone and through e-mails.
