About the Role: 

La Vaquita Flea Market is looking for a bilingual (English/Spanish) Community Engagement & Events Manager to bring energy, culture, and unforgettable experiences to our market. You’ll be the hands-on driver behind every market activation — from planning and executing seasonal festivals, cultural celebrations, and vendor appreciation events, to representing us at local fairs and community gatherings. This role is all about making things happen — coordinating logistics, managing budgets, leading vendors, and ensuring every detail reflects the spirit of our community. If you thrive on checklists, timelines, and creating events that connect people while boosting foot traffic, we want you on our team. 
We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), so if you’ve used Rocks, Scorecards, and L10s before—that’s a big plus. 

Key Responsibilities: 

Market Activations & On-Site Events 

• Plan, promote, and execute creative events that drive foot traffic and vendor value 

• Develop activation calendars in alignment with business goals and seasonality 

• Partner with Marketing and Leasing to align events with occupancy and brand goals 

• Coordinate vendors, performers, permits, staffing, and security as needed 

Activation Logistics & Execution 

• Own the day-of execution for all activations and events—setup, run-of-show, teardown 

• Manage budgets, timelines, and third-party vendors (audio/visual, rentals, décor, etc.) 

• Ensure every detail is dialed in—from signage to schedules 

• Capture feedback and report on outcomes to improve future events 

Off-Site Brand Awareness 

• Represent La Vaquita at local community events, fairs, or street team pop-ups 

• Identify off-site opportunities to raise awareness and drive new vendor or visitor leads 

• Coordinate branded collateral, giveaways, and event materials 

• Ensure off-site efforts reflect the same energy and professionalism as our on-site events 

Seasonal Decor & Market Atmosphere 

• Own the look and feel of the market across key seasons and holidays 

• Source, install, and manage decorations that elevate the guest experience 

• Align decor and activation themes with marketing campaigns and community events 

Qualifications: 

• 2+ years of experience in event planning, brand activation, or experiential marketing 

• Strong project management skills—can juggle logistics, timelines, and vendors with ease 

• Creative thinker who also sweats the details 

• Comfortable working weekends and occasional evenings 

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) 

• Bonus: Experience in a company that uses EOS 

What We Offer: 

• Competitive salary + performance bonus potential 

• Flexible Scheduling 

• Growth opportunities in a fast-moving company 

• Strong, healthy culture with real accountability 

• A seat on a team where your ideas turn into real impact 

Work Environment: 

• On-site role—walking the grounds, managing setup, and being hands-on at events 

• Some weekends and evenings required (especially during events) 

• Light physical duties—carrying supplies, setting up banners, installing decor 

• Cross-department collaboration with Marketing, Leasing, and Operations

We’re looking for someone who can take the energy of La Vaquita and turn it into unforgettable experiences—all year round.
