Event Producer & Community Architect CHICAGO
Hello and welcome to DAYBREAKER! We are a global morning dance community of 1M+ and growing and we wake up and dance 💃🏽 in the most iconic locations around the world (top of the World Trade Center, Sydney Opera House, Smithsonian museum, the White House and so many more). While the city sleeps, we break the day with energy and intention with a community of adventure-seekers, mischief makers, and collective joy enthusiasts.
We are a Brooklyn-based family. Three best friends are leading this dance movement with a tiny but mighty team. We are looking for more than just epic skills and experience - we are looking for a mindset and orientation focused on kindness, service, optimism and joy. We're here to do IMPORTANT work of getting more people to dance, play, have fun, connect, make friends and come home to their self-expression — especially post pandemic.
WHAT WE DO
We are the original coffee party and our bread and butter is morning dance and wellness events in iconic spaces around the globe (daybreaker.com). We are a substance-free community and are reimagining how humans socialize (in the morning / without alcohol or drugs). We are experience designers, creatives, storytellers and community architects with a results-oriented team that is set on building a lasting movement that continues to support local communities for years to come.
We look forward to connecting with you. And whether you end up on the team or not, know that these decisions are so hard to make and you're still EPIC and we hope to see you on the dance floor.
THE ROLE //
