This position focuses on hands-on, in-person event marketing while providing structured training in business development, territory management, and team leadership.
Trainees begin by managing short-term pop-up fundraising and promotional events on behalf of nonprofit partners. As skills develop, responsibilities expand into territory oversight, event coordination, and leadership support, creating a clear pathway into management-level roles.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities:
- Execute pop-up fundraising and promotional events within assigned communities

- Fundraising Strategy – donor communication, ethical fundraising, impact storytelling
- Client & Brand Management – representing nonprofit partners with professionalism
- Territory Planning – event placement, coverage strategy, and scheduling
- Team Leadership – communication skills, mentoring, and performance development
This role is designed with long-term advancement in mind. Trainees who demonstrate strong performance, leadership ability, and consistency may advance into:
- Senior Events Representative
- Trainer / Team Lead
- Market or Territory Manager
- Advancement is performance-based, not tenure-based.
