Seattle Event Manager

Events & Adventures is looking to hire an Event Manager for our amazing Seattle area Singles Social Club.

This is an event management position that requires you to be adventurous, outgoing, energetic, and creative! You will be planning and leading events in and around Tampa, getting the chance to explore and engage with singles across the city and the globe!

LOVE what you do. Every. SINGLE. Day.

What is Events & Adventures?

Events & Adventures is a nationwide adventure & activities club only for 21 singles. 30 events are held monthly. Your role? Plan, coordinate, and lead select adventures.

You will be outdoors, active, engaging, meeting new people, and creating a fun, safe, exciting space for adults to live a life they love. You won't be - matchmaking, dealing with drama, doing sales... We ARE NOT a dating service.

This position is a FUN creator. It is long hours sometimes. It requires leadership, management, and exceptional organization. It requires patience & excellent customer service. It requires personal responsibility. The buck stops with you. We foster an atmosphere where it is ok to fail. It is ok to take risks. It is not ok to blame others, lie, or make excuses. You must maintain the trust of the entire community and that must be honored and respected.
