About The Position

JOE & THE JUICE is seeking an energetic, organized, hands-on Event & Community Manager to join its US Brand & Culture team. Based in the NYC HQ office, this role focuses primarily on bringing new stores to life across the US, working closely with the Senior Event & Community Manager to create openings that feel connected to their neighborhoods from the first local partnership through opening day. The role also supports other brand, community, and cultural events across US markets. It requires someone comfortable managing several projects, working with local partners, solving problems, and being on the ground to make events happen—not just planning from a desk. The position supports new-store opening planning and execution, local outreach and partnerships, event activations, and community building. It also helps coordinate fitness, wellness, music, culture, and lifestyle events and contributes to the improvement of JOE’s store-opening and event playbooks. The manager coordinates with internal teams and external vendors, keeps timelines, budgets, contacts, and event details organized, tracks event spending, and documents results and lessons learned. Travel and evening or weekend work may be required when openings and events call for it.
