Job Overview
Showtime Presents is looking for a talented, creative and hands-on Event Designer, Stylist & Installer to transform an existing hospitality venue into an incredible, immersive Christmas pop-up bar experience.
We operate Jingle Bar and Elf Bar, festive pop-up experiences across the USA and Canada, and we're looking for individuals who can bring Christmas to life through bold, imaginative and visually impressive décor.
Think floor-to-ceiling Christmas decorations, oversized ornaments, sparkling lights, hanging presents, Christmas trees, garlands, themed photo opportunities and installations that make guests say WOW the moment they walk through the door.
We're not looking for someone who simply creates design concepts. We need someone who can design it, source it and physically help build and install it.
What You'll Be Doing
Creative Design & Styling
- Develop a visually exciting Christmas concept suited to the existing venue.
- Identify key areas to transform, including entrances, bar counters, walls, ceilings and photo opportunities.
- Create simple mood boards, visual references and installation plans.
- Work within an agreed budget while maximising visual impact.
- Create an immersive experience that looks fantastic both in person and on social media.
Sourcing & Purchasing
- Source Christmas decorations, lighting, props, artificial greenery, hanging installations and other creative materials.
- Identify affordable local suppliers, retailers and rental options.
- Use creativity to achieve high-end results without unnecessary spending.
- Manage an agreed materials budget and provide clear purchasing lists.
Hands-On Installation
- Personally participate in decorating and installing the venue.
- Install garlands, ornaments, lighting, themed props, backdrops and other decorative features.
- Safely create impactful ceiling and wall installations using venue-approved methods.
- Coordinate additional installation assistance where required.
- Ensure everything is secure, practical and appropriate for a busy hospitality environment.
- Complete the transformation within an agreed installation schedule.
Who We're Looking For
You'll ideally have experience in one or more of the following:
- Christmas or seasonal commercial decorating
- Immersive events or themed pop-up installations
- Event styling and production design
- Theatre set design, set dressing or scenic installations
- Visual merchandising or commercial displays
- Experiential marketing and brand activations
- Hospitality venue styling and transformations
Most importantly, you must be hands-on.
You should be equally comfortable planning a design, shopping for decorations, assembling props, working with tools and physically installing décor.
We value practical creativity over formal qualifications.
What Makes a Great Candidate?
- A strong creative eye and excellent attention to detail
- Experience transforming spaces on a limited budget
- Confidence using tools and practical installation methods
- Ability to work independently and solve problems on-site
- Strong organisational skills and reliable communication
- Ability to work to tight deadlines
- Access to suitable transportation for sourcing materials
- Availability for installation work in November
Pay: $3,000.00 per week
Work Location: In person

Tips for Your Event Designer Job Search
Build a portfolio around measurable outcomes
Hiring managers for event designer roles want to see before-and-after visuals alongside concrete context: guest count, budget constraints, and what production challenges you solved. Label each project with the event type and your specific scope of responsibility.
Tailor your resume to event scale
Distinguish between intimate social events and large-scale corporate productions on your resume. Recruiters scan for budget ranges and headcount because those numbers signal whether your experience matches the complexity of their typical events.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists event designer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target listings that name your software stack
Many postings specify CAD tools, floor plan software, or rendering platforms. Apply first to roles that name tools you already use, then customize your resume to call out those exact tools prominently in your skills section.
Prepare a concept presentation for interviews
Many event designer interviews include a creative brief exercise. Practice walking through a mood board or concept deck out loud, explaining your vendor sourcing logic and how you would adapt the design if the budget dropped by a third.
Negotiate scope clarity before accepting an offer
Event designer roles vary widely in whether on-site execution is included or design stops at concept delivery. Before accepting, confirm whether your contract covers load-in supervision, vendor coordination day-of, and post-event breakdown responsibilities.
Event Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most event designers?
The companies hiring the most event designers right now include Bold Catering & Design, Showtime Presents, and Flowers & Creations, with the largest share of openings in Georgia, New York, and Missouri, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Corporate hospitality groups and experiential marketing agencies tend to post the highest volume of openings consistently.
How many event designer jobs are remote?
About 0% of event designer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though fully remote positions are most common in concept design, mood board development, and client proposal work. Roles that involve on-site production management, vendor walkthroughs, or day-of execution are almost always in-person.
How do you become an event designer?
Start with a degree or certificate in event management, interior design, or a related creative field, then build hands-on experience through internships or assistant roles at event agencies or venues. Develop a portfolio of real projects that shows your design process from initial concept to final installation. Proficiency in floor plan and rendering software strengthens your candidacy significantly for most employer openings.
How do you get hired as an event designer with little experience?
Focus on building a portfolio through volunteer work for nonprofit galas, community events, or friends' weddings where you can take creative ownership of the design. Apply to assistant event designer or event coordinator roles that include design responsibilities, since those positions are common entry points. Demonstrating skills in CAD or floor plan tools and showing concept sketches in your portfolio can offset a short work history.
What does the event designer interview process look like?
Most event designer interviews begin with a portfolio review where you walk hiring managers through two or three past projects, explaining your creative decisions and how you handled production constraints. A second round often includes a creative brief exercise where you develop a concept under a fictional budget and theme. Final interviews typically involve the broader creative or operations team and focus on vendor relationships, timelines, and cross-functional communication.
Where can I find and apply to event designer jobs?
You can find and apply to event designer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your specialization and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
