Description
As a Design & Logistics Coordinator at Bear, you ensure our event designs are accurate, complete, and ready for production. Once the design concept and client expectations are established, you own the ongoing coordination: managing small edits, sourcing products, and keeping clients and departments aligned through execution and close-out.
Supporting 20–40 active events per month, you review designs for event readiness approximately six weeks before each event, then coordinate final logistics and documentation during the last three weeks. This is an operations-focused role requiring production knowledge, strong client communication, and the ability to turn evolving details into a clear plan our teams can execute.
You will report to the Lead Event Designer and work closely with Event Designers, Warehouse, Production, Graphics, Floral, and Fabrication teams. This is an in-person office role with occasional on-site event support.

- Drive coordination across creative, warehouse, and production teams, maintaining current project information and leading event readiness meetings to align requirements, deadlines, and responsibilities.
- Own the final handoff to Event Leads and production teams, providing clear event documentation, binders, and briefings so teams arrive prepared to execute the design.
- Manage post-event close-out, including client follow-up, surveys and review requests, job-costing inputs, and debrief findings that inform future work.
- Continuously improve planning tools, communication, and handoffs to reduce preventable errors and strengthen the connection between design and execution.
Who you are:

Requirements:
