FIA Balloons is a luxury balloon décor and event design company based in New York City, creating custom installations for weddings, corporate events, private celebrations, and brand collaborations. We're a small, founder-led team building something people genuinely love and we're looking for a reliable, creative contractor to help with balloon production and craft work, primarily in our Midtown office, with occasional on-site event work.
This role is mostly based in our workspace — inflating hellium balloons, building balloon garlands, arches, and installations for events — with occasional on-site work when a job requires setup at the venue itself. You'll be offered jobs as they come up and can accept based on your own availability.


Scope of Work
In-Office (Primary — most of the work)

  • Inflating and prepping balloons for upcoming installations
  • Building balloon garlands, arches, columns, and other décor pieces ahead of events
  • Simple sewing machine work
  • Painting and finishing work on props or décor pieces
  • Cutting materials to spec (fabric, paper, foam, etc.)
  • Printing materials as needed for events/products
  • General hands-on production support for upcoming jobs

On-Site (Occasional)

  • Installing finished balloon pieces at the event venue
  • Transporting completed materials/equipment to and from event venues
  • Following design references/plans to match the client's vision on-site
  • Occasional breakdown/removal after events

Requirements

  • Relevant experience in balloon décor, sewing, painting, or general hands-on/creative production work
  • Comfortable using a sewing machine and basic craft/production tools
  • Flexible availability, including weekends — jobs offered as they come up; no guaranteed hours
  • Comfortable with physical labor and, when on-site, ladder work — standing, reaching, climbing, lifting materials
  • Creative eye and attention to detail; able to follow a design reference accurately
  • Based in or able to regularly work from our Midtown Manhattan workspace; able to occasionally travel to event venues across Manhattan

Engagement Details

  • Classification: Independent Contractor — engaged on a per-job/per-project basis (primarily office production days, occasional on-site events)
  • Pay: $18–23/hour, depending on experience level
  • Schedule: No fixed hours — you'll be offered individual jobs and can accept or decline based on your own availability
  • Location: Primarily our Midtown Manhattan workspace; occasional on-site work at event venues across NYC
  • Start: Immediate

Why Work With This Role
🎈 Hands-on, creative production work with occasional event-day variety
🚀 Full control over which jobs you take and when
💬 Direct collaboration with the founder
🌱 Ongoing opportunities as more events and product lines get added
