Apply for this role →About WeaponUpWeaponUp is a fast-growing women’s wellness company and the creator of The Original Sword Yoga™, a movement practice combining the kung fu straight sword with yoga. Through our online Studio, community, live experiences and events, WeaponUp is building a new approach to movement centered around strength, confidence and grace. Our global community is made up almost entirely of women, and our mission is simple: to create movement experiences that help women feel graceful, empowered, more capable and more at home in their bodies. WeaponUp is a growing, founder-led company based in Florida, with a creative, fast-moving team working across content, community, events, partnerships and digital wellness.
The Role:
We’re looking for an energetic and highly organised Community & Event Coordinator who loves people, events, and building community. This person will be one of the closest members of our team to the WeaponUp community—engaging with members inside our online platform while helping plan and execute the events, pop-ups, partnerships, and experiences that bring WeaponUp into the real world. This is not a traditional desk-based marketing role. One week you may be working from our Melbourne headquarters; the next you may be traveling with the team to execute an event in another city.
What You’ll Do:
- Engage with members across the WeaponUp online platform and community groups
- Welcome new members and encourage conversations and participation
- Support community challenges, meetups, groups, launches, and programming
- Gather community feedback, testimonials, ideas, and emerging trends
- Help plan and execute WeaponUp events, pop-ups, production weeks, festivals, conventions, classes, and partner activations
- Coordinate venues, vendors, schedules, inventory, signage, equipment, registrations, and event logistics* Create event timelines, checklists, packing lists, and run-of-show documents
- Communicate with partners, instructors, venues, vendors, and attendees
- Travel with the WeaponUp team and support event setup, execution, and breakdown
- Support marketing campaigns around events, launches, partnerships, and community initiatives
- Identify great community stories and user-generated content for WeaponUp’s marketing channels
Who We’re Looking ForExperience working in events and managing communities is at the top of our list.
Our ideal candidate has:2–4+ years of relevant professional experience* Hands-on experience coordinating events, activations, conferences, festivals, pop-ups, or community experiences
Experience managing or engaging an online or membership-based community
Excellent organizational and project-management skills
Strong written and verbal communication
The ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, vendors, and moving pieces simultaneously
A warm, outgoing personality and genuine enjoyment of working with people
The ability to stay calm and solve problems when plans change
A willingness to jump in and help wherever needed
Experience in wellness, fitness, entertainment, publishing/books, conventions, consumer brands, creator communities, or startups is a plus.
Travel & Schedule
This is a full-time, in-person position based in Melbourne, Florida.
Frequent travel is required. Because WeaponUp events may take place on evenings, weekends, and occasionally holidays, candidates must be comfortable with a flexible schedule.
Compensation & Perks$30 USD an hour
WeaponUp also offers:
Company-paid travel for required events
Complimentary WeaponUp membership
WeaponUp products and gear
Access to WeaponUp events and special experiences
Opportunities to travel throughout the U.S. (and globally)
Significant opportunity for professional growth as the company expands
We’re looking for someone who wants to do more than manage a community from behind a screen. You should want to know the people in it, create experiences for them, and help build something they genuinely want to be part of.
