Event coordinator job feat

ABOUT US:
Dashing Date is a well-established Canadian speed dating company, headquartered in Montreal, that is in its 8th year of business. We specialize in organizing high-quality, expertly curated dating experiences for single professionals who are serious about meeting someone.

ABOUT OUR TEAM:
Our team is driven, friendly and passionate about the dating space and helping people find love! We work hard, with integrity and a positive mindset. We challenge and question everything, including our own work and processes. We stay ahead of the curve and are always ready to embrace change!

Our team values open and honest communication and is always willing to hear each other out. We love cracking jokes and bringing joy to the workplace. We’ve designed our jobs so that we can all work remotely most of the time. Most importantly, we really are a team (even when we’re working separately), which means that we encourage and support each other and share the workload.

ABOUT OUR SPEED DATING EVENTS:
In 2020, we’re planning more than 200 speed dating events across Canada for between 20-24 people per event. All events have a seasonal theme, take place at a well-established local restaurant and each one is facilitated by an expertly trained Dashing Date Event Host in that city. They’re normally held on Wednesday or Thursday evenings, with the occasional Friday or Saturday night thrown into the mix.

NOW… ABOUT YOU and THE JOB…

We’re hiring a Part-Time Event Coordinator and Administrative Assistant

We’re excited to welcome a new team member who will be integral to Dashing Date’s growth in 2020! The job is for an Event Coordinator and Creative Admin Assistant. The position is mostly remote (work from home) but you must be located in Montreal so that we can meet in person to collaborate on projects and co-work as needed. It’s part-time, averaging 20 hours per week, give or take (on the weeks we have events, the workload is heavier, on off-weeks, it’s lighter) with the goal of transitioning to full-time. Full training will be provided to bring you up to speed. We’re looking to hire immediately.
