About The Position

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants. By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We’re looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours. We’re seeking a self-starting Event Marketing Associate to support the planning, execution, and logistical coordination of Event Marketing programs. This role will contribute to a range of initiatives, including trade show activations, Faire-hosted events, systems and tooling development, and swag coordination. In this role, you’ll help deliver high-quality event experiences across North America, working closely with partners in Sales & Success, Brand Marketing, Content, Social, Marketing Operations and Creative. You’ll play an important role in bringing thoughtful, well-executed experiences to life that engage our customer community and support Marketing’s mission to grow, inspire, educate, and connect Faire’s global community. This is an execution-focused role ideal for someone who enjoys managing details, collaborating cross-functionally, and helping turn plans into polished, on-the-ground experiences.
