We are looking for an organized, energetic Events Specialist in the Denver, CO area to support the planning and hands‑on execution of TRUEWERK’s presence at community events, trade shows, jobsite visits, and brand activations. This role sits at the intersection of logistics and brand expression—making sure we show up the right way, with the right people, the right gear, and the right energy. You’ll be responsible for coordinating booth setup, ordering and shipping gear and event materials, coordinating travel and staffing, and supporting in‑person activations with partners, vendors, and brand ambassadors.

Our ideal candidate works comfortably across internal groups and external partners, communicates clearly both in writing and in person, and loves keeping multiple concurrent things on track. You thrive on strong organizational systems, have outstanding attention to detail, and pride yourself on a solutions‑first mindset: anticipating problems before they become a big deal.

If you’re a detail‑oriented executor who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and enjoys bringing events to life, we want to hear from you!
