About Wicked Popcorn Wicked Popcorn is a family-owned gourmet popcorn company serving events throughout San Diego, including Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. We are a small, hands-on team that takes pride in providing quality products, dependable service and a great guest experience. Position Summary Wicked Popcorn is looking for a reliable, flexible and hands-on Delivery & Event Support Associate (Seasonal) to support our event operations several days per week for the end of our Rady Shell Season (season ends at the end of December). A typical shift begins at our Point Loma warehouse, where you will organize products for delivery. You will then drive the company van to Rady Shell, unload products and supplies, help the on-site team prepare for gates to open and work the event through intermission, assisting with stocking and service support. At the end of the shift, you will return excess products and the company van to the warehouse. This is not a management position, but it requires strong personal responsibility.
