Description du poste

Welcome to Lava Island

Lava Island is an indoor play oasis where kids fly across trampolines, dive into foam pits, race down slides, and disappear into towering jungle gyms while families share pizza and celebrate birthdays. It is loud, bright, and full of energy, and it is the kind of place where memories happen without warning.

We are opening new parks every year, and every one of them needs its community to know we are there.

What You’re Really Giving Away

Most companies hope word of mouth shows up on its own. We do too, eventually. In the meantime, we send people out to start it.

What You’ll Do

As a Brand Ambassador, you are the first Lava Island experience a lot of families will ever have. You show up where they already are, at the farmers market, the school event, the coffee shop down the street, and you give first. A free visit, a fun moment, a reason to come see us. We call it leading with generosity, and it works.

Why You’ll Love Working at Lava Island

• Out and about. Most of your time is spent in the community, not at a desk.
• Focus on the fun part. Your Lead handles the scheduling and email, so your time goes to people.
• A proven approach. You are working from a playbook we built and tested in Denver.
• Work that matters. You help families find a place where they make memories together.
• Room to grow. The team is expanding as we open new parks every year.
• Flexible, part-time schedule built around community events.

Go and find people

• Visit local businesses and the places families spend time.
• Connect with mom groups, homeschool networks, schools, and churches.

Show up at community events

• Support local nonprofits in ways that help both sides.

Run events at the park

• Host in-park events that make family time easier and more fun.
• Welcome the families and partners your outreach brings in.

Keep the relationships going

• Follow up with partners so connections last.
• Work closely with the park GM and keep them in the loop.
• Track your activity and share what is working and what is not.

Who We’re Looking For

• Warm and outgoing. You like meeting new people and it shows.
• Generous by nature. You enjoy giving first.
• Self-starters. You stay focused working on your own in the field.
• Reliable. You keep your commitments to partners and families.
• Curious. You notice what connects with people and share it.
• Living our values. We’re Day Makers, We Raise the Bar, We’re All In, and We’re Better Together.

What You’ll Need
