Part-Time Events Assistant / Marketing Helper

About the role

This part-time role is designed for students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals who love education and thrive on bringing events to life. As a Part-Time Event Assistant, you’ll support our Silicon Valley campus events—from academic competitions to workshops and community outreach, while gaining hands-on experience in logistics, registration, guest services, and on-site operations. Working alongside our teaching and ops teams, you’ll assist with pre-event planning, vendor/venue coordination, room setup, crowd flow, and post-event wrap-ups (feedback, reports, and content recaps). You’ll also have chances to contribute to marketing campaigns that grow attendance and elevate the participant experience. No prior event experience is required, training, playbooks, and mentorship are provided. This position is a strong stepping stone toward event coordination, operations management, or campus/community marketing within Think Academy’s expanding network.
