About the Craft Workshop & Events Coordinator Role
The Neon Tea Party is currently in a growth phase and is looking to bring on a Craft Events & Workshops Coordinator to increase the number of private & corporate events, brand activations, and workshops booked each month. This is a unique opportunity for a design-loving, entrepreneurially-minded individual (preferably with a passion for crafting!) to get in on the ground floor of an emerging creative upstart and to be an essential player in scaling the business to new heights.
