The company prides itself on fostering a warm and inclusive work environment where individuality is celebrated, and each team member is valued as part of a supportive work family.
This full-time event team member position offers a unique opportunity to be involved in crafting stunning events that leave lasting memories for clients and their guests. The role is multifaceted, encompassing a blend of office work, client interactions, event preparation, on-site coordination, and teamwork. Employees in this position can expect to work long event shifts typically lasting 12 to 14 hours, often requiring physical stamina and the presence of mind to adapt to fast-changing on-site circumstances. Flexibility is essential as the work schedule may include nights and weekends based on the specific needs of clients and event calendars, though mutually agreeable flexible hours will be arranged to balance work and life demands.
The successful candidate will bring a positive attitude, a strong work ethic, and a love for creativity to this role. They must excel in customer service, demonstrate excellent communication skills—both written and verbal—and be highly organized to manage multiple projects concurrently. This position demands exceptional time management skills and the ability to maintain composure and professionalism, even amid the occasional chaos inherent in event planning. Key qualities include the confidence to propose alternatives when necessary, tactful communication, and a passion for problem-solving and resourcefulness.
On a day-to-day basis, this role will rotate through varied duties including office administrative tasks, engaging with clients during planning meetings, resetting and prepping the warehouse for events, assisting fellow planners, and leading one’s own events. Prior event experience is valued but not mandatory, and food service experience is considered an advantage. Importantly, the job requires a willingness to be physically active for extended periods and to thrive in a team-oriented environment where collaboration and supportive interpersonal interactions are essential.
Blue Ribbon offers comprehensive benefits to its full-time employees after a standard waiting period. These benefits include paid time off, paid holidays, optional health insurance, and a 401(k) plan with matching contributions. While the opportunity to work remotely is extremely limited, this role guarantees exposure to hands-on event management environments that are rewarding, challenging, and ultimately fulfilling for individuals seeking to grow their experience and influence in the event planning industry. Join Blue Ribbon’s dedicated team and contribute to making every event extraordinary with creativity, professionalism, and a commitment to delivering exceptional experiences.
