- Purchasing & Sourcing: Work within an assigned budget to source and purchase engaging contest prizes, gift cards, or specialty items.
- Procurement Collaboration: Partner with the Procurement and Inventory leads to review incoming donated merchandise or sponsorships that can be matched to upcoming contest awards.
- Prize Preparation & Tagging: Package, tag, and organize winning prizes so they are clear, labeled, and ready for event emcees to award on stage.
QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
- Creative Flair: Strong eye for design, crafting, or DIY customization (e.g., custom ribbons, vinyl detailing, decorated trophies, or themed prizes).
- Resourcefulness & Budget Awareness: Ability to stretch budget dollars and find high-value, unique items without overspending.
- Organization & Detail: Capable of tracking prize lists, budgets, and schedules for multiple events throughout the year.
