Community and Event Coordinator

Weapon Up is a fast-growing women's wellness company and the creator of The Original Sword Yoga™, a movement practice combining the kung fu straight sword with yoga. Through our online Studio, community, live experiences and events, Weapon Up is building a new approach to movement centered around strength, confidence and grace.

Our global community is made up almost entirely of women, and our mission is simple: to create movement experiences that help women feel graceful, empowered, more capable and more at home in their bodies.

Weapon Up is a growing, founder-led company based in Florida, with a creative, fast-moving team working across content, community, events, partnerships and digital wellness.

We're looking for an energetic and highly organised Community & Event Coordinator who loves people, events, and building community.

This person will be one of the closest members of our team to the Weapon Up community - engaging with members inside our online platform while helping plan and execute the events, pop-ups, partnerships, and experiences that bring Weapon Up into the real world.

This is not a traditional desk-based marketing role. One week you may be working from our Melbourne headquarters; the next you may be traveling with the team to execute an event in another city.

• Engage with members across the Weapon Up online platform and community groups
• Welcome new members and encourage conversations and participation
• Support community challenges, meetups, groups, launches, and programming
• Gather community feedback, testimonials, ideas, and emerging trends
• Help plan and execute Weapon Up events, pop-ups, production weeks, festivals, conventions, classes, and partner activations
• Coordinate venues, vendors, schedules, inventory, signage, equipment, registrations, and event logistics
  * Create event timelines, checklists, packing lists, and run-of-show documents
• Communicate with partners, instructors, venues, vendors, and attendees
• Travel with the Weapon Up team and support event setup, execution, and breakdown
• Support marketing campaigns around events, launches, partnerships, and community initiatives
• Identify great community stories and user-generated content for Weapon Up's marketing channels

Experience working in events and managing communities is at the top of our list.

Our ideal candidate has:

• 2-4 years of relevant professional experience
  * Hands-on experience coordinating events, activations, conferences, festivals, pop-ups, or community experiences
• Experience managing or engaging an online or membership-based community
• Excellent organizational and project-management skills
• Strong written and verbal communication
• The ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, vendors, and moving pieces simultaneously
• A warm, outgoing personality and genuine enjoyment of working with people
• The ability to stay calm and solve problems when plans changeA willingness to jump in and help wherever needed
• Experience in wellness, fitness, entertainment, publishing/books, conventions, consumer brands, creator communities, or startups is a plus.

This is a full-time, in-person position based in Melbourne, Florida.

Frequent travel is required. Because Weapon Up events may take place on evenings, weekends, and occasionally holidays, candidates must be comfortable with a flexible schedule.

$30 USD an hour

Weapon Up also offers:

• Company-paid travel for required events
• Complimentary Weapon Up membership
• Weapon Up products and gear
• Access to Weapon Up events and special experiences
• Opportunities to travel throughout the U.S. (and globally)
• Significant opportunity for professional growth as the company expands

We're looking for someone who wants to do more than manage a community from behind a screen. You should want to know the people in it, create experiences for them, and help build something they genuinely want to be part of.
