- Overseeing all booth setup and teardown at every event — ensuring displays are on-brand, professional, and ready to engage the public
- Engaging directly with members of the public at live events — demonstrating products, sharing the mission of our charity partners, and inspiring community members to get involved and donate
- Ensuring accurate and thorough collection of donor and customer lead information at every event activation
- Managing event budgets responsibly and monitoring return on investment — reporting results and insights back to the Division Manager
- Identifying and escalating any display or equipment issues promptly to ensure zero disruption to live event operations
- Supporting additional marketing initiatives and taking on new responsibilities as you grow into the role
What We're Looking For
- A natural leader who's comfortable guiding, motivating, and holding a team accountable in a live event environment
- Strong verbal and written communication skills — equally confident with your team, charity partners, and members of the public
- Excellent organizational and time management skills — you can juggle multiple events, schedules, and priorities without dropping the ball
- Comfortable managing event budgets and tracking ROI with accuracy and accountability
- Enthusiastic, positive, and hardworking — you set the tone and your team follows it
- Physically able to stand for 8–10 hours during events and lift up to 40 lbs for booth setup and teardown
- Available to work evenings and weekends as fundraising event schedules require
- Reliable transportation required for local travel throughout the Little Rock area
- No prior experience required — we provide full paid training and develop our managers from the ground up
