• Work with food truck partners to promote events & specials
• Continuously bring new and fresh ideas to the table

Plan & Build

• Coordinate meaningful brand collaborations
• Look for opportunities that bring new audiences into the taproom

Spread the Word

Communication & Execution

• Make sure staff knows what’s happening and when

• Work with our bar manager to ensure smooth execution during service
• Be onsite for key events
• Coordinate vendors, timing, and setup
• Troubleshoot in real time when things inevitably don’t go exactly as planned

Reporting & Optimization

• Pay attention to what’s working and what’s not
• Track turnout, sales, and other key performance metrics
• Adjust future programming based on real results

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Naturally notice when a space feels dead and immediately think of how to fix it
• Have opinions on what makes a memorable experience vs a forgettable one
• Are both creative and organized (you can ideate and execute)

Required Qualifications:

• Experience with Canva and Google Workspace
