This particular role is based in the Tucson-Irvington, AZ store and is designed for a part-time team member dedicated to planning, coordinating, and facilitating events within the store, including children’s birthday parties, craft classes, and various other creative events. The position requires a blend of customer service skills, event coordination expertise, and operational support to ensure that every event delivers a memorable and stress-free experience to guests of all ages, from young children to older adults. As an Event Coordinator and Store Team Member, the individual will be expected to engage customers with friendly and knowledgeable service, assist them with locating products and checking out quickly, and support daily store operations such as truck unloading, stocking, and maintaining merchandise presentation.

The role emphasizes creativity, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to adapt plans based on client feedback to meet and exceed expectations.
