Grand Opening Coordinator Retailcomm is looking for Grand Opening Coordinators to handle experiential marketing events for our clients. Most of these will be medium-scale to large-scale grand opening events with lots of moving parts. This role may be similar to a “Field Manager” position, but it would be among the more challenging, rewarding, and career-oriented “Field Manager” roles. It is an Independent Contractor position. This position requires a leader who can be self-motivated for excellent ground-level onsite execution at events in which you are face-to-face with the client. Typically this is a fly-in fly-out job, but from time-to-time an event may be within driving distance. The ideal candidate would have a flexible schedule, and your availability can dictate how much we are able to place you with an event. Estimate 6-20 weeks per year depending on your proximity to events, your availability, your attitude and your skillset. We want to bring someone onboard who is a perfect fit for our team and how we do business. If this work environment appeals to you, we’d like to hear from you. • We believe substance is still important. When it comes to client service, we always deliver on what we promise, never less, even if it ends up costing us more than we thought it would. • We believe passion fuels the world. Whoever adds the most value and most delight to feed the passion of others is the winner. • We believe it’s okay to care more about people than money. We have our clients’ backs and put their needs above our own. We don’t do it for the money; we do it because we are passionate about helping others succeed. It’s a lonely road, but one that we gladly travel. Who we are and what makes us tick. The professionals that make up the Retailcomm team play a pivotal role in the services and value we bring to our clients. Here are a few characteristics that make us successful in what we do: We are team people The work we do simply cannot be done by loners. We are humble people The rewards we produce belong to the client - and to their customers. We are hard-working people A servant who doesnt work hard is a thief. We are “people” people We thrive off of working with our clients and meeting hundreds of thousands of their customers every year - always on brand, focused on delighting them and rewarding them for engaging their passions. We are fun people The work we do is always fresh, is always about delighting customers in fun settings and continually producing stories we love to share. The Grand Opening Coordinator Position: You will be part of a team that creates exceptional events that get the most bang for the client’s buck with the most streamlined execution process. You will have onsite communication with the client, but you will have extensive daily communication with an Account Manager leading up to the event, and a Point of Contact during the event. We have other events that are not Grand Openings – they might be sporting events, music events, our touring events – and we’d like to reach out to you to be field staff at these events as well, if they interest you. Onsite responsibilities might include: Providing support to brand vendors who are onsite during the events Managing vendors like outdoor décor installers or florists Managing celebrity appearances Helping store operations teams understand their roles and responsibilities Managing giveaways and promotions Contacting winners of giveaways and promotions Setting up tables, stanchions, décor like feather signs or banners Managing assets that are shipped to your hotel or the store Extensive photography, event reporting and status communication Creating an expense report and invoice following the event We aren’t looking for a warm body to fill a seat – we’re looking for someone who wants to be a part of this team. If the characteristics listed below sound like you, please send us your resume: You like just about everyone. Encouraging others makes you feel good, and it’s how you operate. You’re a relationship builder, it comes naturally to you. You’re a people person with a high EQ. You’re very comfortable with travel. Planes, rental cars, hotels – no problem. You’re physically and mentally fit enough to handle long days, because these tend to be long days on your feet. You’re mentally and emotionally stable enough to handle stressful situations, like 400 people who are lined up to meet a celebrity, who won’t be there long enough to meet 400 people. Stuff like that can come with events like these, and we have to be able to keep smiling when that happens. You’re in the details. There are a lot of details with this gig. A lot. You can follow an established process to get things done. You’re handy with a camera. You don’t have to be ready to shoot magazine quality shots, but you know the basics of composing a photo, and you know how to get shots that tell the story. You’re pretty good at a lot of things. You can manage a to-do list and also manage a caterer. And you’re the kind of person who takes notes and works from checklists. The kind of people who “holds things in their head” make us nervous (and usually forget a lot of stuff). You know stuff but you’re also eager to learn. You embrace change, not resist it. You go with the flow. You keep a ball rolling. You don’t make excuses, you make things happen. Sound like you? Send your cover letter & resume to: careers@retailcomm.
