Brand Activations Coordinator Rupt · Remote (US, near a major airport) · Full-time · 25–30% travel NOTE: APPLICATIONS WILL ONLY BE LOOKED AT VIA OUR RUPT CAREERS PAGE, APPLY HERE: https://careers.rupt.com/brand-activations-coordinator We’re launching a new division at Rupt, and requests are already rolling in before we’ve even announced it. We need someone to own it. Most event merch gets handed out at a table and forgotten in a hotel room. We’re building the opposite: hands-on brand experiences where people make something they actually want to keep. We can’t spill all the details yet, but trust us, it’s going to be fun. This role is part event producer, part merchandiser, part brand ambassador, part on-site hero. We move fast here. Really fast. So this role is for someone who’s SUPER organized, teaches themselves whatever they need to know, and stays calm when the truck is late and the doors open in 20 minutes. This is a brand new role. You’ll report to our VP of Sales and Activations and help shape the program from day one. What You’ll Actually Be Doing: Represent us • Be the face of Rupt at client events, trade shows, and launches. Every guest should walk away a fan., • Work alongside our sales team and distributor partners to understand each client’s goal (traffic, recruiting, brand awareness, team building) and bring the activation to life around it, • Help market the program: sample photos, social content, and demo stations at trade shows Plan it • Own every event from intake to cleanup: products, themes, timelines, budgets, and run-of-show, • Build pack lists, source products and supplies, and coordinate staff, shipping, travel, and venue requirements. When plan A falls through, you already have plan B., • Think like a merchandiser. Which products, colors, and themes will people actually want to wear? What sells out first at a Vegas show versus a Nashville offsite?, • Obsess over the guest experience: wait times, flow, setup, and how the setup looks on camera Run it • Travel to client events, trade shows, and launches (roughly 25–30%), • Set up, run the experience, and tear down, • Be the person who’s “on”: energetic, welcoming, and great with people, because at an activation, the staff IS the brand, • Catch problems before the client does, and fix them before guests ever notice Make it better • Get inventory and equipment back, organized and accounted for, • Recap every event: what worked, what didn’t, and what we do better next time, • Turn what you learn into playbooks, templates, and checklists so every activation runs smoother than the last Who You Are • You’ve got a big, magnetic personality. You light up a room, can talk to anyone, and make people feel welcome the second they walk up to the table., • You’re SUPER organized. Color-coded-spreadsheet, packing-list-for-your-packing-list organized. You juggle multiple events, suppliers, and timelines and nothing slips., • You’re a self-learner. You don’t wait to be trained. You Google it, YouTube it, AI it, call someone, and figure it out. (When you’re building something new, that’s the whole job.), • You have a real creative eye, with opinions about product, color, display, and what’s trending., • You’re equally comfortable working a busy event floor and building a tight pack list the next morning., • You think three steps ahead: the rain, the delayed shipment, the line out the door., • You stay cool under pressure and fix things with a smile., • You’re excited to build something from scratch, not just run someone else’s playbook. Experience • 1 to 3 years in experiential marketing, event sales, brand activations, promotional products, or retail merchandising, • Strong communication skills are a must, • A sales background is a big plus. You know how to read a room, pitch an idea, and make a great first impression., • Bonus: hands-on experience with custom apparel or product personalization, or relationships with promo distributors or event agencies How You’ll Be Measured • Events delivered on time, on budget, and without surprises, • Guest experience: smooth flow, short waits, and people who love what they made, • Client and distributor feedback, and repeat bookings, • Playbooks and processes that make the next event easier The Details • Full-time with benefits, • Location: Remote, anywhere in the US near a major airport, • Travel: roughly 25–30%, • Reports to: VP of Sales and Activations, • Compensation: Base + commission (Salary range $55k to $65k), • Start date: ASAP Why Rupt? Because this isn’t some giant corporate machine where you disappear into the background. We make custom products with 1-piece minimums, ship to 70+ countries, and move fast. We’re a design-led team that would rather build the thing customers keep asking for than launch another product nobody wanted. We care deeply about design, branding, customer experience, speed, and creativity, and we genuinely give a shit about what we’re building. You’d be helping launch a whole new business line, not inheriting someone else’s. Learn more about us: rupt.com Ready to Build It?
