Resume Writing Workshop Event Planner (Paid Per Registration)

Location: Metro Detroit, MI (Hybrid/Remote)
Commitment: Part-time, flexible schedule; evening/weekend events may apply

We are seeking a results-driven Event Planner to organize and grow attendance for our Resume Writing Workshops. You’ll own the event pipeline—from venue or virtual setup to outreach, partnerships, and conversion funnels. Compensation is paid per person registered to attend (tracked via unique links/codes).

Core Responsibilities

Plan and execute monthly/biweekly resume workshop events (in-person and/or virtual).
Build attendee pipelines: partnerships (colleges, libraries, workforce agencies), employer co-hosts, community groups.
Launch and optimize simple marketing funnels (Eventbrite/landing page + email/SMS + social posts).
Manage outreach: cold/warm calls, emails, DMs; secure co-marketing swaps and community calendar listings.
Coordinate speakers, agendas, room/AV, check-in, and post-event follow-up.
Track registrations by source; submit weekly forecasts and post-event reports (show-up vs. registrations, CAC, channel ROI).

Requirements

Demonstrated experience in event planning, community outreach, or program coordination.
Strong communication skills; comfortable with cold outreach and partner negotiations.
Organized, deadline-focused, and data-minded (can manage lists, links, and tracking).
Familiarity with Eventbrite (or similar), Google Workspace, and basic CRM/spreadsheets.
Bonus: Experience with workforce development, higher ed/community orgs, or career services.

Compensation & Structure

Pay-Per-Registration: Earn a set amount for each verified registrant attributed to your unique link or code (discussed during interview).
Tiered Bonuses (optional): Higher per-registrant rates after hitting volume thresholds (e.g., 50/100/150 regs per event).
Attendance Quality Bonus (optional): Additional bonus for achieving target show-up rate (e.g., 65%+).
1099 contractor arrangement; flexible hours.

KPIs (measured weekly/event)

Total registrations and cost per registration (CPR).
Channel performance (community partners, email, social, cold outreach).
Show-up rate and waitlist utilization.
Partner conversions (new partners activated, repeat partners).

Tools & Support Provided

Branded landing page/Eventbrite setup with your unique tracking.
Email/SMS templates, media kit, and partner outreach scripts.
Access to a contact list framework and community calendar checklist.
On-site support for larger events as needed.

How to Apply

Send a brief note with your resume: (1) one example of an event you grew and how, (2) your preferred outreach channels. Include links to any relevant pages or portfolios.
