We're Hiring: Events & Marketing Coordinator

Plant Magic | Denver, CO

Status: Part-time, 15–20 hours/week Compensation: $22–25/hour, depending on experience Location: In-person Plant Magic - 925 E 17th Ave, Denver CO Reports to: VP of Marketing & Programming

About Plant Magic

Plant Magic is a Denver-based plant medicine Church, psychedelic education and community center, operating under RFRA and Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act protections. We hold ceremonies and facilitator-led events, run a community Cafe on 17th Avenue, and support members through our Plant Medicine Apothecary. Our model is rooted in "You Are Your Own Minister" — self-directed sovereignty over one's own spiritual practice.

Position Summary

We're looking for a part-time Events & Marketing Coordinator to help run the logistics behind our facilitator-led programs, occasional ceremonies, and community gatherings, while also lending a hand with marketing content and volunteer coordination. This role is roughly 70% events, 30% marketing, and reports directly to the VP of Marketing & Programming.

Plant Magic's community is thriving, and we're anticipating exponential growth in our program offerings this fall and beyond. This role is central to that growth — not just running our recurring events, but actively bringing new vetted programs and facilitators into the fold.

This is a great fit for someone already woven into Denver's psychedelic education and creative community — facilitators, artists, and community-builders alike — who wants a genuine foot in the door. That said, event facilitation and community-building experience come first; creative or facilitation backgrounds are a strong plus, not a substitute.

Key Responsibilities

Event & Programming Coordination (~70%)

Coordinate and keep our recurring, existing events running smoothly week to week. The established rhythm this role owns day one, alongside the new programs and community nights you'll grow
Plan and execute facilitator-led programs and community gatherings from start to finish, leading volunteer teams to pull off day-of logistics — space setup/breakdown, supply prep, scheduling, and run of show with volunteer support
Spearhead our community events — book clubs, movie nights, trivia nights, and similar gatherings — from concept through execution, growing this side of general programming as a steady, welcoming on-ramp into the community
Eventually own filling events with the support of the Marketing dept.: drive registration and attendance for both recurring and new programs so events run at capacity
Source and vet new facilitators and programs, ensuring alignment with Plant Magic's values, quality standards, and legal/community guidelines
Manage facilitator relationships end-to-end: agreements, event participation logistics, and payment processing Serve as an on-the-ground point of contact for facilitators during events with volunteer support
Support media creation at events (photo/video capture), coordinating with a volunteer media contributor where available Recruit, schedule, and manage volunteers for event support, with room to grow this program over time
Maintain and grow the events calendar and pipeline as new programs come online, communicating logistics across the team

Marketing Support (~30%)

Partner with the VP of Marketing & Programming to plan and execute how each event and program is marketed
Bring your own marketing ideas to the table — we want a thought partner, not just a task-executor, though campaigns are planned and approved together with the VP
Support social media and content creation, including sourcing and organizing photo/video from events
Must be technically savvy and understand how to utilize AI tools at an intermediate level.
Assist with general marketing operations as needed (asset organization, content calendar support, light copy assistance)

Growth Opportunity

Plant Magic is growing fast, and this role is a real entry point into leadership as we scale. Colorado's plant medicine landscape is thriving, and we intend to expand this model to other states — someone who grows with us here has a genuine path into a larger leadership role in that expansion.

Bonus: Cafe Barista Shifts (Optional)

We'd love for this person to also pick up barista shifts at the Cafe. It's a great way to get to know the community on an intimate, day-to-day level, and it's an easy way to add extra hours to your week. It's a fun gig, and totally optional — just an added perk if you're interested.

Qualifications

Prior experience in the psychedelic or plant medicine space strongly preferred
Experience coordinating events, programs, or community gatherings — this is the core of the role
Creatives and existing facilitators encouraged to apply; artistic, ceremonial, or performance backgrounds are a welcome bonus on top of strong event and community fundamentals
Marketing instincts and comfort proposing ideas, paired with a collaborative approach to executing plans alongside leadership
Comfortable managing volunteers and coordinating multiple moving pieces on event day
Basic photo/video sensibility; comfort with social platforms a plus
Aligns with Plant Magic's values: reverence, sovereignty, and non-extractive community care
Able to work in-person, including some evenings/weekends for programs and events

Schedule

Starting at 15–20 hours/week. Schedule will flex around the events and ceremony calendar; some evening and weekend availability required.
