Event And Social Media Coordinator

Are you ridiculously organized?

Do people describe you as Type A?

Is your love language To Do lists, spreadsheets and google calendar invites?

Do you speak Tik Tok?

Are you looking for 20ish hours of remote work, but not because you hate people, rather because you are more “productive” working from home.

WHO ARE WE?

Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Hap, owner of Happy Cones New Zealand Style Creamery. I arrived in Denver in 2014 from New Zealand to be with my wife - a mail order husband if you will. I saw the ice cream I grew up on wasn’t here, so we bought a 1989 West Virginia school bus off Craigslist and started slinging that New Zealand Style ice cream. People seemed to like it.

Happy Cones now has shops in the Edgewater Public Market and the Golden Mill Food Hall, as well as three ice cream trucks that cater anything from Timmy’s 5th birthday (we try to avoid these since Timmy’s Mom thinks $600 for an ice cream truck is expensive - I tend to agree) to 1000 person corporate caterings.

Those three ice cream trucks are where you come in. I’m looking for an event coordinator……..to, well, coordinate events. And to manage our Social Media and online presence and whatever other random tasks pop up, like “hey we need a poster for our 420 promo coming up”. This is a remote role, but you’ll be available to meet in person on Tuesday’s, 20ish hours a week, a little less in winter. And if you want to work events on the truck, you can work as many hours as you want!

WHAT Y’ALL HAVE

• Super organized and meticulous attention to detail. If you haven’t picked this up already, then you may not be detail oriented.
• Über proficient with all things Google, calendar, gmail, sheets etc. America runs on Dunkin, Happy Cones runs on google…..hmmm, ok.
• Tech Savvy - Website link not working, printer keeps getting jammed, you got it! PS our shop printer is cursed.
• A minimum of 2 years event planning experience (if you have less and know you’re a badass you can just lie and spin it as being passionate about the role)
• Social Media account management experience. We have nearly 8K on instagram and are wanting to increase our Tik Tok following.
• You appreciate company culture, like to be a part of a small dynamic team that likes to have fun, and punches above its weight (No need to understand sport analogies).
• You gotta be inclusive and open minded, a slightly inappropriate sense of humor is a bonus.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience using Triple Seat Event Management Software. If not, be willing to get your learn on.
• Experience using staff scheduling apps, we use Homebase.
• Experience using Social Media management software.
• Graphic design skills, proficient using Canva.
• Video production and editing. Mad iphone and iMovie skills.

RESPONSIBILITIES (that sounds boring….. anyway here we go)

• Your #1 job is to reply the same day to all event emails and direct messages Monday- Friday.
• Use Triple Seat event planning
• Exceed our catering clients expectations with personalized, friendly and prompt communication both before and after their event.
• Using Homebase app to schedule truck staff the week before events (the fine print - texting back and forth with staff who have forgotten to put in their availability)
• Oversee the event calendar, ensuring smooth communication between teams.
• Create and manage Social Media content with a focus on keeping us relevant with viral trends.
• Maintain our online presence. Replying in an empathetic way to Karen’s 3 star google review about her ice cream being too cold, updating the website, promptly replying to DM’s etc.
• Analyze Social Media data and generate reports on key metrics to measure the success of campaigns.
• Proficient in using Social Media management tools
• Various administrative tasks to help support the management team.
• Keeping me on track and organized with your outstanding communication skills.
• Having social consciousness and awareness that would help keep Happy Cones branding consistent and aligned with our core values, for example, being comfortable telling me certain content is inappropriate to post to Social Media.

WHAT THE ROLE LOOKS LIKE

• Remote & flexible 20ish hours a week.
• If you WANT to work the ice cream truck you can work 40+ hours from April through October.
• Summer is heavily event planning focused, Winter is more Social Media content creation and planning for summer.
• Hours are spread out Monday through Friday working 2-4 hours a day,
• In person weekly meeting: Tuesday 10am to 2pm ish at Edgewater Public Market.

COMPENSATION / FUTURE POTENTIAL

• Dependant on experience, in the range of $25/hr to $27/hr
• At Happy Cones we value creating long-term relationships within our team. If you’re looking to learn and grow within a supportive local company, this is ideal for you. If you’re only looking for a 2 year position, then this is not for you.
• If you’re awesome and hit it out of the park (not too sure why I keep using sporting analogies), then there is future growth potential to make this a more full time/ salaried position.

Ok, my adderall has run out, would love to hear from you.

Cheers, Hap
