Gig Overview: We’re looking for a confident, charismatic, and highly capable Event Manager to lead a series of exciting in-store activations across Walmart locations in Tampa. This is not your typical staffing role, this is for someone who can truly own the experience from start to finish. If you’re the kind of person who can set it up, run it, engage a crowd, and break it down like a pro, all while keeping the energy high, we want you on this team.

Throughout the activation, they will actively engage with shoppers, educating them on the product, answering questions, and creating an energetic, welcoming experience inspired by K-pop and Korean culture.
