Our showroom is where the brand comes to life—part museum, part proving ground, all vibes. We’re looking for a Showroom Coordinator who can wrangle vendors, marshal creative, and turn manufacturer partnerships into memorable, on‑brand experiences. You’ll own the day‑to‑day : planning, production, installs, event ops, and post‑event reporting. You’re equal parts project manager, event producer, brand guardian, and “make‑it‑happen” machine.
If you read that and thought “I’ve got a label maker, three backup checklists, and a sense of humor,” we should talk.
If you smiled, laughed, or questioned yourself once so far then we bet you a Shrute buck that you’re qualified for the role. Let’s chat!
Requirements
What you’ll do (the mission)
- Own the showroom activation calendar across all partner brands—planning, timelines, budgets, staffing, and recaps.
- Deliver the commitment : Two (2) event days per year, per brand (e.g., with 9 partners, that’s ~18 event days annually). You plan it, crew it, run it, and report it.
- Be the creative traffic controller : Build briefs, route assets, track approvals, and ensure everything is on‑brand and on‑time.
- Vendor wrangler & install boss : Coordinate production / installs with our partners and show vendors (e.g., venue services, print houses, staging / AV). Check proofs, measure twice, install once.
- Spec ninja : Work with designers to meet print / digital specs (bleed / trim, large‑format, color modes, file prep) and submit on publisher portals when needed.
- Ad & signage support : Help traffic ads and show deliverables (think directories, trackers, digital signage, wall graphics, lanyards, key cards)—making sure creative, copy, and specs are buttoned up.
- Day‑of show captain : Run point on run‑of‑show, staff schedules, demos, contingency plans, and live adjustments without breaking a sweat.
- Metrics that matter : Build simple dashboards—attendance, engagement, leads, partner satisfaction—and share clean post‑event recaps.
- Systems discipline : Keep the Monday board, timelines, budgets, files, and naming conventions tidy so anyone can jump in and win.
What you’ll bring (the toolkit)
3–5+ years in experiential marketing, events, retail / showroom ops, trade shows, or brand activations.Project management chops that turn chaos into checklists (you’ve shipped complex installs with vendors and deadlines that didn’t move).Creative literacy : You speak designer—CMYK vs. RGB doesn’t scare you; you can review proofs and catch the gotchas.Partner‑friendly communication : Clear updates, crisp asks, and the tact to keep multiple brands happy and aligned.Process brain + hustle : You love building templates, runbooks, and rinse‑and‑repeat systems—and still move fast.Hands‑on bias : Comfortable lifting event kits / signage (up to ~40 lbs), taping floors, zip‑tying cables, and solving problems on site
Cultural fit : Team‑first, radically candid, and funny enough to survive load‑in day. (Bonus points if you can quote The Office under pressure.)Nice ‑ to ‑ haves
