We are hiring for an Event Coordinator role at our College Station, TX store. This position is focused on planning, coordinating, and facilitating craft-related events, including children’s birthday parties, within the Michaels store. The goal is to provide a stress-free, fun, and engaging event experience for guests of all ages, ranging from young children to seniors, by fostering a creative and welcoming atmosphere. The Event Coordinator is also a key player in enhancing the customer shopping experience by assisting patrons in locating products, educating them about promotions such as the Rewards program and Private Label Credit Cards, and ensuring speedy and friendly checkout service.

As an integral part of store operations, the Event Coordinator supports various store activities, including unloading trucks, stocking merchandise, maintaining display standards, and completing daily cleaning tasks to uphold the store’s brand promises and safety standards. The role requires strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills, particularly the ability to interact positively with customers and colleagues, manage multiple event details simultaneously, and adapt plans based on client feedback. Experience working with children and managing children's events is essential. The position also demands physical stamina, including the ability to stand for extended periods, lift heavy items, and engage in repetitive movements. Employment at Michaels offers a supportive environment with robust benefits for both full-time and part-time Team Members, including health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), paid time off, tuition assistance, and employee discounts.
