Event Marketing Assistant

Washington, DC | Full-Time | In-Person | Immediate Start

If you've worked a busy shift in a restaurant, hotel, or bar, you already know how to read a room, stay calm under pressure, and make a stranger feel welcome in seconds. Those are the exact skills we're hiring for. We're looking for an Event Marketing Assistant to bring that same hospitality instinct to a new setting: representing well-known brands face-to-face at events and retail locations across Washington, DC.

Why Hospitality Experience Translates Well

In hospitality, you're always "on" — greeting people, managing multiple conversations, and making decisions on the spot. This role uses those same instincts, just without the late nights and holiday shifts. You'll spend your day engaging customers directly, introducing them to products and services, and guiding them through sign-ups or purchases, all while representing nationally recognized brands with the same professionalism you'd bring to a dining room or front desk.

What You'll Be Doing

• Engaging customers at retail locations, events, and promotional campaigns
• Representing client brands with professionalism and enthusiasm
• Introducing customers to products and services through face-to-face conversations
• Answering questions and guiding customers through sign-up or purchase steps
• Building rapport and delivering a positive customer experience
• Working with a team toward shared sales goals

What We're Looking For

• Comfortable staying friendly and composed in fast-paced, people-facing settings
• Strong communication skills
• A positive, approachable attitude
• Self-motivated and eager to learn something new
• Hospitality, restaurant, or hotel experience is a plus — not required
• Able to work on-site in Washington, DC

What You'll Get

• Comprehensive in-person training and ongoing mentorship
• Weekly pay plus performance-based incentives
• Clear career progression with internal promotion opportunities
• A team-oriented culture with regular team events and recognition
• Hands-on experience in sales, customer engagement, and brand representation

Ready for a role where your people skills finally come with regular hours and a clear path forward?
