At Event Network, we believe that experiences matter. As the leading operator of retail experiences at some of the most iconic and inspiring destinations across the United States, we infuse passion, creativity, and purpose into everything we do!

The Museum of Science and Industry gift shop in Chicago is a premier destination, offering a carefully curated selection of science-inspired merchandise, educational toys, books, and unique gifts that reflect the museum's innovative spirit. Located within the heart of one of the largest science museums in the world, our store provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that celebrates science, technology, and discovery.

The Role:

As a Sales Associate (Part-time), you’ll be the heart of our store, bringing energy, enthusiasm, and unforgettable moments to every guest who walks through our doors.

What You’ll Do:

• Create Magical Moments: Be the reason our guests have the most enjoyable and unique shopping experience ever! From welcoming smiles to exciting product demos, you'll make each interaction fun and meaningful.
• Be a Store Superstar: Help out with day-to-day operations, ensuring the store runs smoothly and efficiently. Whether you're restocking shelves or helping a guest find the perfect item, you'll always be ready to lend a hand.
• Engage & Entertain: Bring your positive energy to every customer interaction, making shopping an experience they’ll never forget.

What We’re Looking For:

• Flexible & Ready for Anything: You’re available to work irregular hours, including weekdays, weekends, early evenings, and holidays. We know it gets busy, and your support is key to making every day successful.
• People Person: You love meeting new people and can naturally strike up conversations with guests of all ages. Your enthusiasm is contagious!
• Product Pro: You’re excited to share your product knowledge, showing guests all the cool features and making personalized recommendations.
• Team Player: You’re welcoming, positive, and can easily collaborate with your fellow team members and store staff.

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Retail Rockstar: Previous experience in retail, cash handling, merchandising, or customer service? Awesome! But if not, don’t worry—we’ll help you get there!

What to Expect:

• Keep Moving: You’ll be on your feet, moving around the store, helping customers, and creating displays. You might also need to reach, bend, stoop, or even crawl from time to time (don’t worry, we’ve got your back!).
• Light Lifting: Occasionally, you’ll need to lift or move up to 15 pounds, but nothing too heavy.

BRING YOUR PASSION AND TALENT TO OUR TEAM!
