About:

At We Love Pop Ups, we bring immersive holiday magic to life through Frosty’s Christmas Bar — the most over-the-top, joy-filled Christmas pop-up experience in the country. With locations in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and Austin, Frosty’s transforms venues into multi-sensory wonderlands where guests can sip themed cocktails, take unforgettable photos, and dive headfirst into festive nostalgia.

We’re expanding to new cities this season and are looking for 2 Lead Experiential Designers/Producers to help us design and execute these immersive environments.

If you live for creative transformation, production design, and hands-on collaboration — this is your stage.

Job Description: We’re seeking visionary experiential producers with a strong background in event design, scenic installation, or immersive production. You’ll lead the creative buildout and oversee all aspects of Frosty’s transformation — from concept to final walkthrough.

This is a three-week production sprint, where your ideas and leadership will shape the full guest experience — lights, decor, flow, and festive storytelling.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team of decorators to install large-scale holiday décor across multiple Frosty’s pop-up venues (bars, restaurants, and retail spaces).
• Design and implement creative holiday décor plans that align with Frosty’s immersive theme and each venue’s unique layout.
• Assign and oversee tasks, ensuring efficient use of time, staff, and materials to meet tight buildout deadlines.
• Collaborate with event producers, creative directors, and technical teams to integrate décor seamlessly into the full event experience.
• Source and manage installation of décor elements such as Christmas trees, garlands, wreaths, lighting, ornaments, and custom props.
• Ensure safety and quality of all installations, confirming décor is secure and meets venue regulations.
• Maintain décor during the pop-up’s run, managing any repairs, updates, or adjustments.
• Coordinate with vendors for delivery, setup, and teardown of large-scale elements.
• Motivate and lead your team, fostering creativity, efficiency, and high standards of execution.
• Report progress to event managers, track milestones, and ensure all installations are completed on schedule.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience in event decorating, set design, experiential installation, or holiday décor production.
• Proven leadership or team management experience in event or production settings.
• Strong creative vision with a keen eye for color, texture, and spatial design.
• Excellent organizational and project management skills, with the ability to oversee multiple buildouts simultaneously.
• Familiarity with lighting, electrical setups, rigging, and décor installation best practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for working with production teams, vendors, and venue partners.
• Physical stamina to lift, move, and install large decorations as part of hands-on work.
• Flexible schedule — available for travel and extended hours during the 3-week production window.

Benefits:

• Competitive seasonal pay
• Opportunity to lead and manage a creative team
• Dynamic and creative work environment
• Work on high-profile pop-up events

How to Apply: If you're passionate about holiday décor and have the leadership and creative skills to make any space sparkle with Christmas cheer, we'd love to hear from you! Please submit your resume, portfolio, and a brief cover letter outlining your holiday decorating and team management experience.
