Experiential Project Assistant

Jackson Dawson•Long Beach, CA

19h•$27 - $29•Onsite

About The Position

We are a fast-paced Experiential Marketing Agency that produces large-scale brand activations, live events, trade shows, mobile tours, and marketing programs across the United States. Our work moves quickly, priorities can change daily, and no two projects are ever the same. We are seeking an Experiential Project Assistant to support our Account Managers and Project Teams with day-to-day tasks across multiple accounts and programs. This role is ideal for someone who already has experience in experiential marketing, event production, brand activations, or agency environments and wants to gain deeper hands-on exposure to client management and program execution. The Experiential Project Assistant plays a critical support role in helping programs stay organized, on schedule, and moving forward. This person will assist with project coordination, vendor communication, staffing support, logistics, reporting, and administrative tasks while working closely with Account Managers and cross-functional teams. This is not a traditional administrative role. We are looking for someone who is highly adaptable, self-driven, resourceful, and comfortable operating in a demanding, fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly. The ideal candidate is mature, professional, proactive, and willing to step in wherever needed to help the team succeed.
