**Job Overview**
We’re looking for a Lead Zone Coordinator to keep our live events and experiential activations running like clockwork across designated venue zones. You’ll be the on-site point person who ensures every detail — from branding and staffing to logistics and client needs — is executed flawlessly. This role is perfect for someone who loves the buzz of live events, stays calm under pressure, and takes genuine pride in delivering unforgettable fan and client experiences.

- Own your assigned zone(s) during event build, show days, and strike, acting as the central point of contact for staff, vendors, and clients
- Conduct regular walk-throughs and zone checks to ensure branding, signage, activations, and assets are installed correctly and on-brand
- Brief, deploy, and supervise zone-based staff (brand ambassadors, team leads, specialists) and troubleshoot any staffing issues in real time
- Liaise with production, operations, and client teams to solve problems quickly and keep everything on schedule
- Manage zone inventory, consumables, and assets — tracking usage, re-stocking, and reporting shortages before they become issues
- Capture photo/video recaps and complete post-shift reports to document execution quality and key learnings
- Support load-in and load-out, including basic manual tasks when needed — we all pitch in
- Proactively identify risks or opportunities in your zone and communicate them clearly to the Site/Operations Manager

- Proven leadership of part-time or temporary staff in high-pressure, fast-paced environments
- Eagle-eye attention to detail - you notice when something is 2 inches off or a sign is slightly crooked
- Calm, decisive problem-solver who thrives when plans change last-minute and can make smart decisions under pressure
- Excellent communicator - comfortable giving clear direction to staff and confidently escalating issues to senior managers or FIFA clients
- Physically capable of long hours on your feet, lifting up to 50 lbs, and working outdoors in heat, cold, rain, or any weather
- Valid driver’s license with clean record and ability to travel freely across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico
- Full availability January-August 2026 (intense schedule including weekends, holidays, and extended hours)
- Proficiency with Google Suite, Box, Slack, WhatsApp, iPhone photo/video tools, and intermediate Excel skills (pivot tables, change logs, inventory tracking)
