Why I’m Hiring This Role Now
I’ve reached the point where I am really struggling achieving what I believe my calling and purpose is… without hiring this role to go further. My wife and I started this business as a staffing company in 2014 in a little $600/mo 1 bedroom apartment in Temecula, CA, with 1 baby and 1 on the way, both in college with no idea of where life was taking us. We now manage 10 venues nationwide, have an industry leading podcast and Youtube channel, and the industries only association for venue owners and operators. We have a decent team and some basic structure, but to go to the next level, I need someone to help take some of the admin workload. We have gotten as efficient as possible and implemented systems and really accomplish A LOT, but we need to get to the next place. I firmly believe we are missing a “who”!
These are my most pressing needs that you’ll be doing Day 1
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Managing my calendar, inbox, podcast scheduling, etc
Screening and organizing requests from vendors, employees, and clients
Posting on my social media or creating on Canva
Following up and collaborating with internal team members and keeping projects on track
Taking action on delegated items and making sure I’m only focused on what need my attention to push the brands forward
Working across multiple brands: Common Sense Events, WEVA, and The Venue Rx.
Who You Are:
This role is perfect for you if:
You have 2+ years of admin experience (supporting a founder, exec, or fast-paced team).
You’re a systems thinker who loves creating order, lists, and processes.
You can confidently use tools like Gmail, Google Drive/Sheets/Slides, Canva, Slack, Zoom, Asana, GoHighLevel, and more.
You can handle pressure, move quickly, and still be calm and professional
You communicate clearly and professionally, with excellent reading, writing, and speaking abilities in English
You love solving problems, anticipating needs, and keeping things moving.
You handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.
You thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment where no two days are the same.
Bonus if you have:
Experience in events, hospitality, or creative industries
Social media, content, or light marketing coordination skills
Ideal Personality Fit (Just for fun - NOT a Requirement)
We believe this role will be a great fit for someone with personality traits like:
Enneagram: Type 1 (Reformer), Type 2 (Helper, with strong boundaries), or Type 6 (Loyalist)
MBTI: ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, or ESFJ
PI: Operator, Guardian, or Adapter
Working Genius: Tenacity + Enablement (with maybe a touch of Galvanizing)
Kolbe: High Follow Thru, Moderate Fact Finder, Low Quick Start
That said—we don’t hire based on tests. If you see yourself in this role, are wired for action and support, and are excited about the mission, we want to hear from you.
What Success Looks Like
I spend 90% of my time in high-leverage, creative, and leadership work - not task based or admin work
Admin tasks and follow-through don’t fall on my plate
Internal communication flows without me needing to micromanage
Projects and decisions move faster because you’re managing the follow-up
Compensation & Logistics
Full-time role OR part-time remote to start (with potential to grow quickly into full-time) -
I would prefer to hire part time hourly and then work into full time within 6 months- 1 year.
$20 - $24/hr or $40,000–$48,000/year total compensation depending on experience, capacity, and scope
Tech stipend after 90 days
Occasional travel may be required
Preference for candidates in Central Standard (CST) Time Zone
A Note on Compensation & Experience
The range of compensation reflects the fact that there are multiple ways to structure this role, and I’m open to more than one path if the fit is right.
I’m open to someone earlier in their career or professional journey, with strong character, a serious work ethic, and a willingness to learn. If this is you, I’m open to hiring at the lower end of the range, with the understanding that you’re willing to grow into the full role. It’ll start with the basics (calendar, inbox, task follow-up), and as you grow in capacity, pay will grow too.
I would prefer to start part-time to help us get aligned early on. But please know for any of these options: THIS IS NOT A ROLE I PLAN TO ACTIVELY MANAGE…meaning, after we go through some training, I can’t micromanage you. I will expect you to have your list of things you are actively working on without my input based on the goals we have set.
Work Ethic & Expectations
This role isn’t for everyone….and I’m absolutely not pretending it is.
I’m looking for someone with a rare work ethic. Someone who doesn’t clock in and out mentally. Someone who finds genuine satisfaction in solving problems, building systems, and keeping things moving. You don’t need to be “normal” (I’m not either). You need to be driven, focused, and energized by the opportunity to help build something great.
How to Apply
If this role sounds like the right fit, here’s how to apply:
Submit your application on the hiring page (button linked below)
You can also email us directly at hiring@cseventservices.com - you’ll talk to one of our team first and then we will chat.
Please include:
Your resume and/or LinkedIn profile
Any personality assessments you’ve taken (Enneagram, MBTI, Working Genius, etc.)
A short note about why you’re interested in the role and why it feels like a fit
A quick video intro - you can record this with your phone to introduce yourself and you could also use Loom to show some projects you have worked on in the past (extra credit on that part!)
When You Apply:
I’m NOT looking for a polished resume or perfect answers. The application has normal things on it, but in the interview, we’ll ask you:
Extremely challenging/hard things you have accomplished in your life/career so far.
What you feel your superpowers are
What kinds of work light you up
Why this role is selfishly good/important for you
What gets in your way—and how you deal with it
Why do you want to support a founder in this kind of role?
What systems or tools do you love to use to stay organized?
I’m interested in how you evaluate your own weaknesses and what you’re actively doing to improve. I want to understand what motivates you, how you think, and what kind of work actually energizes you.
Thanks for your time reading this (admittedly long) job posting.
I’m Jonathan Aymin. I’m a founder, operator, and visionary working to elevate the wedding and event venue industry through multiple projects and companies.
I lead Common Sense Events, where we manage wedding and event venues across the U.S.; WEVA, the Wedding and Event Venue Association; and The Venue Rx, a media platform Youtube and Podcast platforms, focused on education and industry growth for venues and event pros. I’m also writing a book (about venue management), and raising seven young children with my wife Julianna.
My overall goal is to build meaningful businesses that create lasting change. Specifically, right now at this season in my life, I want to help the venue industry grow and evolve. I’m looking for the right person to help me do that.
💡 How We’re Changing the Wedding & Event Industry
We’re building something bigger than just one business. We’re changing how the entire wedding and event venue industry operates.
Common Sense Events (CSE) is where it all gets tested. We operate venues across the country and are hands-on in the day-to-day—this is our “kitchen,” where we gain real-world experience and refine operational best practices.
WEVA (Wedding and Event Venue Association) exists to create industry standards, share what works, and connect venue owners, operators, and leaders through community and education.
The book (in progress) will give venue owners and operators a clear playbook for running excellent, profitable, and sustainable businesses.
The Venue Rx is our free media platform—offering education, interviews, and behind-the-scenes insight to anyone in the industry looking to grow.
There is more coming….this is why I need you!
Each piece supports the others. We believe that when venues run better, the whole wedding/events industry gets better. Our goal is to lead that change.
Final Note From Me:
I’m looking for a partner who will grow with me and help shape the future of our brands. This role is challenging, fast-paced, and deeply rewarding if you love making things happen behind the scenes. I can promise, this won’t be boring, and it won’t be easy. Actually it will be very hard….But it will matter!
Even if you don’t check every single box, I encourage you to apply. Sometimes the right person is the one who’s hungry to grow into the role.
I can’t wait to meet you.
