Events & Entertainment Administration Assistant Intern
TFC Promotions (The Festival Company)
Vancouver, BC
Must be currently enrolled in a program. Business Administration, Business focused or Marketing/Event program preferred.
About Us:
We're TFC. The Festival Company. We're a female owned and operated company that genuinely strives to make the world a better place. We build world class experiences for fans from all walks of life, from Extreme Mudfest to our other brands and events, alongside the Megaphone Project, a community for women building businesses on their own terms, and the Dallas Smith Lifted Youth and Mental Health Foundation.
We believe in connection and community over competition. Philanthropy is deeply rooted in everything we do, and our non-negotiable is leaving an impact in every community we serve. We're rooted in a love for connection, music, sport, entertainment, and giving back, and we believe a rising tide floats all boats.
We're a small team. That means you're not fetching coffee. You're in the room, on the ground, and in the details that make our team and our company actually run.
The Role:
We're looking for someone to support our entire team across the board, not just one person. This is a back office, high trust role. You'll be the person keeping schedules, workflows, and day to day operations organized and running smoothly across multiple brands
.

Calendar management, including reservation and meeting setting with reminders
Travel bookings
Contract markups
Issuing offer writing
SOP management and coordination
Invoicing
General task management for the team, making sure everything moves through a proper workflow
Team budget tracking
Cross-departmental exposure:
Marketing
Public relations
Event production
Sponsorship
