BUILD events PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WON’T forget

A small team, considered work, and rooms that ask everything of you.

GIAN is intentionally lean, which means you'll sit in creative reviews, walk venues, set tables, and hold rooms far earlier than you would somewhere larger. It also means the standard is high and the pace is real — events don't move deadlines. We train carefully, document everything, and back each other on site. If you're the person who notices the crooked place card from across the room, we'd like to hear from you.

All roles are engaged on an independent contractor basis across Washington and California, per project and per season.

  • Seattle, WA and Los Angeles, CA · Contract, part-time · Pay DOE

    • Minimum 1 year in events, hospitality, or venue operations. Assisting, catering, and front-of-house experience qualifies.

    • Execute load-in and strike, confirm vendor arrivals against the production schedule, and hold the run of show to the minute.

    • Set and audit the room before doors: place settings, signage, welcome tables, bars, and displays to the design deck.

    • Report to the senior planner on site, escalate quickly, and resolve on the floor without pulling the client in.

    • Availability: weekends, evenings, and 10–14 hour event days. Reliable transportation and ability to lift 30 lbs.

    • Booked per event across Seattle/Puget Sound and greater Los Angeles. Seasonal volume.

  • San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA · Contract, part-time · Pay DOE

    • Minimum 2+ years owning full service weddings and events start to finish. Portfolio required.

    • Own the project: planning calendar, venue and vendor sourcing, contract negotiation, and production schedule through strike.

    • Own the budget: build the allocation, track against it, process vendor invoices and payments, and reconcile post-event.

    • Lead design end to end — concept, palette, floor plan, décor curation, design decks, and render direction with our SketchUp artist.

    • Manage rental and linen orders under our account, from spec through delivery, count, and return.

    • Carry the client relationship alongside Reneille from the first call through the final walkthrough, and lead on site.

    • Proficiency required: floor plan and design tools, project management software, and budget tracking in spreadsheets.

    • Weddings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings across the Bay Area and Seattle. Travel between markets as projects require.

  • Remote · based in Seattle, WA, San Jose, CA, or Los Angeles, CA · Contract, part-time · $20/hour, 10–15 hours per month

    • Support the founder across GIAN and the brands under its parent company. Entry level — no prior events or admin experience required.

    • Fully remote. No office, no set desk. Occasional travel or on-site support at events and meetings in your market, scheduled in advance.

    • Manage the calendar: schedule and confirm client calls, vendor meetings, and site visits, with reminders ahead of each.

    • Triage the inbox daily. Sort, flag what needs the founder, and draft straightforward replies for approval.

    • Keep files and records organized — proposals, contracts, and client documents named consistently and filed where they belong.

    • Support content operations: schedule social posts, maintain the content calendar, and organize photo and asset libraries.

    • Required: strong written communication, reliability on deadlines, discretion with confidential information, and fluency in Google Workspace.

    • Includes direct mentorship from Reneille and access to GIAN networking events.
