For the Candlelight Concerts in Sacramento, California, Fever Originals is seeking a part-time onsite Event Manager to join their team. This role is critical in ensuring the smooth operation of the weekly concerts held on Wednesdays and Fridays. The Event Manager acts as the primary point of contact onsite, coordinating with event staff and management to deliver an exceptional experience for all attendees. Responsibilities include overseeing staff schedules, training team members on various duties such as ticket validation, guest seating, and candle setup, and managing event logistics such as transporting supplies and maintaining inventory.

Additional skills such as problem-solving, ability to work under pressure, and knowledge of audiovisual systems are preferable. A valid driver’s license is strongly preferred to facilitate transport of materials to and from venues, although alternative transport arrangements can be made if necessary. The position offers a contracted term of six months, with the possibility of extension, and compensates at a rate of $25 per hour. The role includes shifts varying between 4 to 8 hours per day, with a maximum of 29 hours weekly, and may occasionally require work on certain holidays excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Fever Originals provides an exciting opportunity to be part of a rapidly growing company that is transforming how classical music concerts are experienced globally. The Event Manager role provides a platform for those enthusiastic about live event management, allowing them to contribute meaningfully to the success of unique musical events and potentially manage additional Fever Originals events in different locations.
