Role Overview Diwali Festival of Lights Vendor Assistant
As a Vendor Assistant, you are the right-hand support for the festival’s leadership and the "utility player" of the event. This role is designed for someone who thrives on variety, loves to help where the need is greatest, and wants to experience every facet of the Festival of Lights.
Key Responsibilities
Station Support: Float between different areas—such as the Laddoo handouts, Rangoli art, or the Swagat Committee—to provide extra hands during peak crowd surges.
Logistical Assistance: Help transport supplies, such as water for performers or extra powder for the Rangoli artists, ensuring all stations remain fully operational.
Information Support: Assist Vendors with simple administrative tasks, like handing out t-shirts or helping volunteers find their assigned locations.
Event "Eyes and Ears": Walk the festival grounds to ensure signage is visible, areas remain tidy, and any minor issues are reported to the leadership team immediately.
General Hospitality: Provide a friendly face for guests who have quick questions or need directions to the nearest activity.
Who You Are
Adaptable & Versatile: You enjoy a "choose your own adventure" style of work and are happy to pivot tasks as the festival's needs change.
Proactive: You don’t wait to be told what to do; you see a need (like a stray piece of trash or a long line) and jump in to help.
Energetic: You are comfortable being on your feet and moving throughout the event space to stay where the action is.
Team Player: You have a "no task is too small" attitude and a genuine desire to make the festival a success for everyone.
