This is a hands-on role for someone who loves planning events, meeting people, building relationships, and turning creative ideas into memorable experiences. You do not need a traditional marketing background. We are looking for someone with strong event planning experience, exceptional organizational skills, and a natural ability to connect with people.

Attend and oversee events to ensure polished, professional execution from beginning to end. Handle the unexpected and solve problems quickly when plans change. Track event participation and results to help identify the events and partnerships that provide the greatest value. Community Engagement & Relationships Build strong relationships with local schools, businesses, nonprofit organizations, chambers, community groups, and other organizations throughout the Tomball area.

Calm under pressure and able to solve problems when something doesn't go according to plan. Ability and willingness to travel to our other Family First ER locations and corporate office in the Heights. Availability for occasional evenings and weekends based on the event calendar.

Experience in event planning, hospitality, community relations, fundraising events, nonprofit events, corporate events, school events, public relations, or a similar role may be a great fit. The Person Who Will Thrive Here You're the person who has the spreadsheet, the timeline, the vendor's phone number, and the backup plan. You notice the little things. You enjoy making an event feel special rather than simply checking boxes. You're comfortable walking into a room where you don't know anyone, introducing yourself, and building relationships. You can spend the morning meeting with a community partner, the afternoon coordinating vendors, and the evening making sure an event looks exactly the way it should. Most importantly, you're dependable, positive, personable, organized, and genuinely enjoy working with people.
