Onyx Offsites & Trainings is a premier experiential education company that provides team building, organizational development programs, offsite retreats, and virtual experiences to companies around the globe with a primary focus locally here in San Diego. Our mission is to help other companies connect on deeper levels to promote a positive company culture.
Join our team as a new Event Operations Associate. The Event Operations Associate will handle the program and logistics coordination for both in-person and virtual events. This role starts out supporting the Director of Operations, completing program plans, making participant sheets, contacting nonprofit and vendor partners, completing site diagrams, sourcing program supplies, collecting packages, inventorying program packouts, creating staffing calendar invites, and other duties as assigned. After a 3-month introductory period, the Event Operations Associate will begin independently operating programs and self-delegating tasks such as taking the lead on client communication, program management, and shared task load of operating events with other operations team members.
A typical week would be spent on program planning and coordination, preparing materials for in-person programs, or handling shipping needs and inventory for programs. This position would be ideal for an event planner who enjoys details and planning but also likes to do the manual labor of packing out gear, loading it, and ordering and sourcing materials. This job is 70 percent computer work and 30 percent physical tasks (packing gear, on-site at programs, running errands). During the first 3 months, this role will require a lot of in-person collaboration with the Director of Operations. On days with computer work hybrid/remote work is possible though you will have standing synchronous weekly virtual meetings.
What team members love about working at Onyx:
Autonomy, bosses who recognize we’re all “human,” casual days mixed with professional client-facing days, schedule flexibility (if you want to workout at 12:00pm you can as long as it doesn’t negatively impact your meetings and client/program needs), transparency from leadership, ability to suggest organizational improvements and implement new business initiatives, creating culture, connection and change.
If the following describes you, keep reading:
Adaptable, proactive, willing to learn, careful, considerate, detail-oriented, organized, focused, self-motivated, and collaborative, you triple-check your work, have excellent time management skills, creative and solution-oriented, team collaborator
There is an element of this job that requires you to be forward thinking in a creative solution oriented way. There aren’t always S.O.P. 's to black and white outline the functions of the process. i.e. for a custom program we haven’t operated before you need to be comfortable and confident creatively and logistically designing the program and decision making including on site design, flow, ordering, staffing. This won’t be expected immediately but is a goal of every planner we hire.
Necessary Minimum Qualifications:
Position Pay Rate: Full time position, overtime hours possible (but not guaranteed) during peak seasons. Hourly at $25.00 per hour. Health care benefits, $500 yearly wellness stipend, and other benefits are available.
