Company Description
Poppin Parties is Houston's premier full-service event production company, specializing in high-end events from concept to cleanup, all managed in-house. We collaborate with Private Clients, Executive Assistants, HR teams, Office Managers, and Marketing departments to create intentional, elevated, and on-brand events such as holiday galas, company milestones, leadership retreats, and brand activations. With a design-first approach, we provide seamless execution by handling all aspects, from custom fabrication to entertainment. Clients can focus on enjoying their events while we manage the rest. Join a team committed to delivering unforgettable event experiences for businesses in the Greater Houston area.
About The Opportunity
We are looking for a dynamic, outgoing, and creative Social Media Assistant to join our team and support our content efforts. This is a hands-on, in-person role where you will work directly under Krystal's leadership to help capture the energy of our events and translate it into compelling digital stories.
If you are early in your career, have a background in event planning, or simply have a natural talent for foreseeing how a room will unfold and want to learn how to curate a narrative from it, this role is a great stepping stone. We want someone who walks into a party ready to execute a shot list and eager to learn the ropes of professional content creation.
Note: This position begins as a paid trial opportunity covering our upcoming events. The goal is to see if we are the right fit for each other before committing to a long-term role. Strong performers will transition directly into a permanent support position on the team.
What You Will Do
As our Social Media Assistant, you will support the full content lifecycle under Krystal's guidance. You will attend our parties and activations in person, which means you need to be comfortable walking up to strangers, getting them talking, and capturing genuine moments on camera. You will assist with post-production editing using Adobe Premiere (or a comparable professional editing ecosystem), ensuring every piece of content is polished before review.
Beyond video, you will help maintain our social media channels day-to-day — keeping the lanes organized, scheduling posts, and assisting with community engagement. You will also collaborate closely with Krystal on her newsletter, contributing writing and scripting support to help bring her vision to life.
The storytelling piece is critical, and you will learn how to master it. We need someone who can follow direction, anticipate needs, and help foresee the story before it happens, assisting in building a narrative arc around an event.
What We Are Looking /for
- Video Production - Assist in shooting and capturing event content in a fast-paced, in-person environment
- Editing - Basic to intermediate post-production skills in Adobe Premiere or equivalent, eager to learn more
- Writing & Scripting - Strong foundational copywriting and scripting skills; ability to support newsletter creation
- Social Media Management - Assist in maintaining active channels; scheduling posts and supporting community engagement
- Storytelling - Eagerness to learn how to curate a narrative arc from an event; before, during, and after
- People Skills - Outgoing, approachable, and confident talking to guests at events
- Event Instinct - Background in event planning or a natural ability to anticipate how an event will unfold
This is a part-time position with the opportunity to go to full-time.
Requirements
- You have some hands-on experience or a strong portfolio in social media management, content creation, videography, or a closely related field.
- You are comfortable in Adobe Premiere and can move through an edit efficiently, taking feedback well.
- Your writing is clean and intentional, and you are adaptable to learning our brand voice.
- You are not the type to stand in the corner at a party; you are the one making things happen, getting people on camera, and finding the moments worth capturing.
- Availability for in-person events, including evenings and weekends, is required.
