About The Position

As a Design & Logistics Coordinator at Bear, you ensure event designs are accurate, complete, and ready for production. After the design concept and client expectations are established, you coordinate ongoing execution, including small edits, product sourcing, and keeping clients and departments aligned through event close-out. The role supports 20–40 active events per month. You review designs for event readiness approximately six weeks before each event and coordinate final logistics and documentation during the last three weeks. This is an operations-focused position requiring production knowledge, strong client communication, and the ability to turn evolving details into a clear execution plan. You report to the Lead Event Designer and work closely with Event Designers and Warehouse, Production, Graphics, Floral, and Fabrication teams. This is an in-person office role with occasional on-site event support.

Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management tools, and comfort maintaining shared files and workflow tools.
