The Role
We are seeking a high-energy, independent Part-Time Assistant Event Manager & Trainer on a 1099 contractor basis. This role is highly dynamic, giving you the freedom to drive results your way.

- Natural Trainer: A passion for coaching people and a knack for explaining sales/marketing processes clearly.
- Schedule Flexibility: Events run when crowds are largest. Consistent weekend availability is a requirement for this position.
- High Energy & Resilience: Comfortable working in both indoor and outdoor event settings (fairs, festivals) and maintaining high engagement levels on your feet.
- Independent Setup: Must operate as a 1099 independent contractor with a valid driver’s license and reliable transport to move between regional event locations.
