About the role
The Animal Pad all-breed dog rescue is looking for some all-star volunteers to join our team as Events Team Managers! Fundraising and adoption events are crucial for spreading the word about who we are and what we do, raising much needed funds, finding new fosters, and helping our adoptable dogs meet their forever families! We typically host, or are involved in about 4-6 events each month within San Diego County, each bringing more exposure to our dogs and our mission. Our ideal candidates would: have great people skills and work well with others, have strong communication skills and the ability to delegate, be comfortable speaking to the public (with regards to event attendees), be detail-oriented and well organized, and have the ability to keep calm under pressure. We would first have any new Events Managers attend a handful of our events to shadow our Events Directors and existing Managers, giving them the opportunity to get familiarized with TAP and learn the ropes of leading our events.
Role responsibilities include:
Getting event supplies together at our La Mesa facility (aka TAP HQ) Transporting supplies to event Managing the event itself Taking supplies back to HQ/putting them away in their designated area We need Events Managers who can commit to leading 1 event per month, and our team will provide all training necessary! Taking on more responsibility and helping to plan events is an option as well (but not at all mandatory). A 4-door sedan usually works just fine for transporting supplies!

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
