Company Name : City of Redmond
Location : Redmond, WA 98052
Position : Special Events Program Assistant
Job Description : JOIN REDMOND!
Imagine you are a member of the public, and you want to put on an event like a fundraiser at one of Redmond’s parks but have never done it before. You might not understand the rules that have to be followed, what permits are needed, or the options for venues and locations. So, you come to the City of Redmond Parks & Recreation department and ask for help.
That’s why our Special Events Program Assistant is such an important role in our Parks & Recreation department. We want people to have their events in Redmond, so we are looking for someone who is excited about finding the path to “Yes” for people and helping them navigate the process to make their event a reality.
This is a fantastic entry-level, full-time position for someone with party, event, or wedding planning experience. It is also a great opportunity for someone strong in project management, customer service, and marketing assistance. We know that not all relevant experiences come from being paid to do it at a job, so if you have done similar work as a parent, volunteer, or with a non-profit, we’d love to see you put that on your application!
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
More About You:
Organization is your superpower. Putting on an event has a lot of moving parts and deadlines, but that doesn’t bother you because this is where you shine!
Writing is a natural gift. Because this position supports marketing work, you will have a chance to show off your great writing skills in emails, social media, posts, and other creative content we use to promote events and the work of the Parks & Recreation department.
You don’t see problems – you only see solutions. It’s too easy to tell people that something can’t be done. But that’s not us. We want to help people do their great events in our City! So even if they don’t have all the pieces put together yet, you don’t mind. In fact, you get excited about helping solve some of the challenges and seeing something come together, because you know what it means to work for a City and to be in service to the community.
You are a great learner. We can teach you how to work for a municipal government and everything you need to know about Parks & Rec. And if you are already a strong writer, we can teach you how to write emails and social media posts with our voice. We just want you to be ready to learn, take feedback, apply it, and grow.
Because writing is an important part of this position, we want you to provide us with a 1-page cover letter. In it, introduce yourself and tell us who you are, what experience you have that makes you the perfect fit for this position, and what it would mean to you to work for the City of Redmond as our newest Special Events Program Assistant.
If selected as our new Special Events Program Assistant, these are a few of the things you will learn how to do in addition to working with the public:
Work collaboratively with internal City departments for special event permit approval and execution.
Support department marketing initiatives and campaigns with social media posts, web-based newsletters, and website drafting and editing.
Support department staff with events contracts, invoices, and other processes as needed.
Collaborate with the Events and Cultural Arts teams to support and ensure the success of all internal events, including City signature events.
