Event Assistant & Coordinator

Position: Event Assistant & Coordinator
Casual / Part-Time / On-Call

Raven Events is looking for a reliable, outgoing, and hardworking person to join our team and help coordinate, set up, and run events throughout Whitehorse, rural Yukon, and occasionally beyond.

This is not your typical 9–5 job! Events can mean early mornings, late nights, weekends, long days, road trips, hauling tables, greeting hundreds of people, solving unexpected problems, and jumping in wherever you are needed.

The biggest asset I am looking for is someone who is great with people.

Experience working with the public and providing excellent customer service is more important than having formal event experience. I am looking for someone who is friendly, professional, calm under pressure, takes initiative, and can represent Raven Events well when working with clients, guests, communities, vendors, and event partners.

Responsibilities may include event set-up and take-down, registration and guest services, vendor and volunteer coordination, decorating, moving tables and equipment, keeping event spaces organized, assisting with event logistics, troubleshooting during events, and generally helping make sure everything runs smoothly.

The right person will:

• Have excellent customer service and people skills
• Be dependable, punctual, organized, and able to take initiative
• Have a valid driver’s licence
• Be comfortable travelling and working in rural Yukon communities
• Be available for casual/on-call work, including some evenings and weekends
• Be physically able to lift 30+ lbs and spend long hours on their feet
• Be comfortable working long event days when required
• Be flexible and willing to jump into whatever needs to be done
• Be respectful, culturally aware, and comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and communities, including Yukon First Nations and rural communities.
• Stay calm and positive when plans change — because in events, they always do!

Previous event experience is an asset, but it is not required. I am much more interested in finding the right person who is reliable, great with people, willing to learn, and isn't afraid to work hard.

Raven Events works on everything from corporate events, conferences and staff retreats to community and cultural gatherings, celebrations, concerts, and large-scale events throughout the Yukon.
