Description
We are looking for a highly organized, solutions-oriented Day-of Event Coordinator to help oversee operations during SKATESIDE FEST, a large community event in Culver City bringing together thousands of families for skateboarding, roller skating, music, and activities.
Hosted by THE SKATESIDE, a youth program that has introduced skateboarding to over 10,000 kids since 2015, the event focuses on building confidence, community, and positive experiences for youth and families.
This role is not for someone who simply reports problems. We are looking for a strong coordinator who can take ownership, solve issues independently when appropriate, keep staff organized and prepared, and ensure guests have a smooth and positive experience throughout the event.
The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, proactive, detail-oriented, and experienced in managing moving parts in a live event environment.
Location: Culver City Dates: May 30–31 Event Hours: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Coordinator must be available before, during, and after event hours)
