About Riley Riley is on a mission to create happier and more engaged teams.

Riley's answer is a platform that combines experienced, service-minded individuals with technology to create a new way to connect with employees and keep them engaged and happy. A huge part of Riley's mission is to provide diverse job opportunities and career advancement paths for individuals of all backgrounds. The Role This role is ideal for someone who is eager to get in on the ground floor of an exciting new startup. This is an opportunity for a motivated individual to take ownership and gain knowledge across multiple aspects of a business. You will wear many hats and must be comfortable knowing that no two days are alike. You'll be asked to collaborate directly with both Co-Founders and your feedback will be instrumental in shaping the foundation of the company. While your responsibilities will be broad, the primary responsibilities will include: Creating Event Programming/Experiences Riley's clients expect curated and thoughtful events to keep their teams engaged and interested so we need someone who likes to think out of the box to create novel, fun, and worthwhile virtual events. You'll be instrumental in sourcing, organizing, and coordinating events for clients and also building the database of events for the future. Riley seeks to recreate some of the rituals that are missed from the physical office, such as acknowledgment of birthdays or special occasions. As head of events/experiences, we'll need someone who can fill this void by offering up interesting ways for companies to reimagine these types of employee experiences. Liaising With Co-Founders As we grow Riley, we're hoping to find a motivated individual who's interested in learning what works and what doesn't and isn't afraid to share valuable feedback.

Track record showing you've coordinated events (ideally virtual) or experiences for offices and their employees. Hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants) experience a plus. Ideally you've managed people in the past. Not a deal-breaker, but at some point you'll be in charge of a team, so experience helps. You're super organized - you even surprise yourself with how you stay on top of everything. You're high energy - the more you have to do, the happier you are. You're a people person who truly cares about keeping the team happy, and have been known to go above and beyond to make sure of that. You're mature enough to take the work seriously, no matter how tedious the task.
