Job Description

Description:

Celebrate Success. Create Connection. Make Every Moment Count.

Let's Create Recognition Experiences That Inspire.

At Stampin' Up!, we believe recognition is so much more than awards or events it's about celebrating the people who make our community extraordinary. Every experience we create is an opportunity to strengthen relationships, encourage growth, and remind our demonstrators that they're valued.

If you're someone who finds joy in the details, loves bringing big ideas to life, and gets excited watching an event come together flawlessly after months of planning, we'd love to meet you.

You'll join a team of people who strive to better their best, support one another, and genuinely want to make a difference. Together, we create seamless events, unforgettable recognition experiences, and meaningful moments that connect demonstrators around the world.

Recognition & Events Specialist

As our Recognition & Events Specialist, you'll blend creativity with organization to create experiences that celebrate achievement and strengthen community. From coordinating global recognition programs and sourcing memorable gifts to planning engaging live and virtual events, you'll help ensure every interaction reflects the heart of Stampin' Up!

This role is ideal for someone who loves both strategy and execution. One day you may be analyzing recognition reports and coordinating with vendors; the next you'll be leading a large event team, collaborating across departments, or putting the finishing touches on an experience that hundreds, or thousands, of demonstrators will remember.

Success in this role comes from balancing many moving pieces at once without losing sight of the details. If you naturally think several steps ahead, enjoy building relationships, stay calm when plans evolve, and take pride in creating exceptional experiences, you'll thrive here.

What You'll Be Doing

• Live our core values every day: We Care About People First, We Act with Courage, We Better Our Best, and We Own It.
• Implement the vision for global demonstrator recognition while ensuring programs are accurate, timely, meaningful, and cost effective.
• Coordinate year-end recognition programs and integrate them into company-sponsored demonstrator events.
• Research, source, and partner with vendors to select recognition gifts that create memorable experiences.
• Plan and execute engaging live and virtual events that support company objectives while collaborating across multiple departments.
• Create seamless events by managing timelines, budgets, communications, logistics, and vendor relationships from concept through completion.
• Lead event execution for assigned events, including MSA Event and OnStage+, directing large cross-functional teams from setup through teardown.
• Build trusted relationships with our top-achieving demonstrators, helping create recognition experiences that encourage growth and connection.
• Participate on the Demonstrator Compensation Plan team, understanding how compensation decisions impact both demonstrators and the business.
• Continuously look for opportunities to improve processes, elevate experiences, and make future events even better.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You might be our person if you are...

• Exceptionally detail-oriented and take pride in getting the little things right.
• A planner who loves creating order, staying organized, and following projects through to completion.
• Comfortable managing several projects simultaneously while balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
• Creative, adaptable, and energized by finding solutions when plans shift.
• Curious, responsive, and always looking for ways to improve experiences and processes.
• Skilled at building genuine relationships with a wide variety of people.
• A proactive self-starter who enjoys taking initiative and owning outcomes.
• An excellent communicator who collaborates well across teams and communicates clearly with internal partners and demonstrators.
• Comfortable using Excel, reports, and data to support decisions and ensure recognition accuracy.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Event Planning, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Experience planning, coordinating, or managing events and/or recognition programs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills across multiple communication platforms.
• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Ability to prioritize multiple projects while meeting deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience researching solutions, making recommendations, and implementing process improvements.
• Confidence to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

Why You'll Love It Here

Besides spending your days creating memorable experiences, you'll also enjoy:

A wicked-awesome benefits package (go ahead—we encourage comparisons.)

A Friday dress code every day of the week. Dust off those favorite jeans.

Extreme crafting experiences. Totally optional...but don't be surprised if you become a fan.

Paid personal time off...like, a lot of it. We believe work should fit into life—not the other way around.

Tuition assistance plus a 401(k) with company match, because investing in your future matters.

A team that genuinely cares about people, celebrates wins together, and believes every person can make a difference.

Ready to Celebrate Something Bigger?

If creating meaningful recognition experiences, planning unforgettable events, and helping people feel seen and celebrated sounds like your kind of work, we'd love to hear from you.

Bring your curiosity. Bring your creativity. Bring your attention to detail.

We'll bring the teamwork, the purpose, and plenty of opportunities to better our best; together.
