Birthday & Events Coordinator

About the role

The Little Gym of Seekonk opens in January 2027, and we are looking for an enthusiastic, creative team member to join us as our Birthday & Event Coordinator. This person will own our birthday party program from the first inquiry to the final high five. You will be the creative force behind our birthday parties, special events, and social media presence. This is a role for someone with a year or two of experience in events, childcare, hospitality, or customer-facing work who will help build our party program from day one. Birthday parties and events are important tools for helping us grow our membership base. There is lots of room for growth in this position, as we will be opening a second location in 2027!

Social Media & Marketing

• Capture photos and videos of classes, parties, special events, and all the Serious Fun happening in our gym, following our photo policies.
• Create, schedule, and publish posts and Reels across multiple platforms while maintaining The Little Gym's brand.

• Represent The Little Gym at local events.
• Ensure leads generated from events are followed up on.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in event coordination, childcare, youth programming, camps, hospitality, or similar work.
• Equal parts organized and creative — able to manage a fully booked weekend of parties while also dreaming up the next viral Instagram Reel.
• Enjoy creating content and comfortable using tools like Canva, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
• Comfortable and confident communicating with parents by phone and in person.
• Weekend availability is required.

Benefits

• Employee discounts
• Flexible schedule
• Free uniforms
• Training & development

Perks

• You won't be stuck behind a desk! One day you're planning a celebration, the next you're pretending to be a dinosaur to film a fun Reel, and the next you're bringing a community event to life.
• Athleisure, T-shirts, and bare feet are the daily dress code.
• You will be part of a brand-new team and get to use your creativity, organization, and leadership skills to make a real impact on a growing business.
• You could get paid to fold T-shirts or get paid to close your activity rings. The choice is yours!

Career growth

As part of The Little Gym team, you'll join a family dedicated to the growth and development of children while helping us build an incredible community here in Seekonk. You'll start by running our party program. Depending on your performance and our growth, this role can expand into event leadership across multiple locations, other management responsibilities, or the instructor and leadership training tracks offered through The Little Gym system.
