Guthrie Green is Looking for an Event Specialist!

Do you have a passion for creating unforgettable experiences while collaborating with an amazing team? Do you thrive on the excitement of pulling off the perfect event, from brainstorming the initial concept to watching it come to life? If so, we want you to join our team as an Event Specialist.

As an Event Specialist, you'll be the mastermind behind some of the most amazing events – whether it's a fitness class in the park, an exciting concert under the city lights, fan-favorite Food Truck Wednesdays or third-party community events. If you have a passion for crafting jaw-dropping experiences and love to make every detail shine, we're the place for you!

What You’ll Do:

• Design unforgettable experiences: From organizing movie nights to planning a high-energy evening concert, you’ll create events that leave guests saying: “when’s the next one?”
• Get your creative energy flowing: From décor to entertainment, you’ll come up with unique and engaging ideas that will turn any event into an extraordinary memory for those in attendance.
• Manage moving parts: You’ll coordinate with venues, vendors, and the Guthrie Green team to make sure every detail falls into place, from the first invite to the last guest leaving.
• Make it happen: On event day, you’re in charge! Make sure everything runs smoothly, troubleshoot on the fly, and ensure guests are having a great time.
• Feedback and fun: After the event, you’ll gather client and team feedback so you can continue to improve at creating epic events.

Who You Are:

• Creative visionary: You see the big picture but also care for the little details that make an event truly memorable.
• Master of time management: Deadlines don’t scare you. You can juggle multiple projects at once without breaking a sweat.
• People person: You love building relationships and talking to clients, vendors, and guests. Your communication skills are top-notch, and you feel confident in handling any situation with ease.
• Problem solver: The unexpected happens at events, but you can keep your cool and find a solution.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience creating and executing events that wow!
• A killer portfolio or examples of events you’ve planned.
• The ability to work weekends, nights, and some holiday hours.
• Comfortable being present and interacting with large crowds.
• Resourcefulness, being poised under pressure, and a solutions-oriented mentality.
• A deep understanding of event logistics and vendor management.
• Software skills (such as TripleSeat or similar event software, Canva, ability to create presentations, site maps, etc.,).
• Quick thinking and problem solving before and during events.
• Self-starter who is organized and detail oriented.
• Experience with working within a team and managing group dynamics
• Bachelor’s degree
• 1 to 2 years’ experience or equivalent combination of education and experience in parks and recreation, event management, or related field of study.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• You’ll work in a creative, fun environment where no two days are alike.
• You’ll collaborate with a team of passionate, talented people who share the same mission.

This job is active, dynamic, and requires you to be on your toes (literally). If you’re ready to get moving, help out with physical tasks, and bring your creative and positive energy every day, we’d love to have you on the team!
