What we are looking for:
We provide team building activities all over North America and have a team of 20+ contractors who facilitate those events. Depending on your location, you may be traveling for 80% of the events you run, and the frequency varies based on customer demand. It can range from 1 event a week or month, or multiple events in one month. We offer both virtual and in-person events and our pay ranges from $200 for hosting a virtual event to $500 for our more complex in-person events. Our event times range between 2-4 hours not including travel or pre-event preparation (site visit, set-up, and training).
Our ideal candidate is someone whose work life will complement this on-demand (per-event) contract work; working a few hours virtually hosting or 4-8 hours on-site for in-person events. You have experience leading corporate team building events, think scavenger hunts and charity bike builds. You can speak confidently on stage in front of a group of any size. You’re a critical thinker able to make swift decisions in the best interest of the event while ensuring customer satisfaction throughout the event. You’re willing and able to manage the set-up for the event, which may include lifting and transporting supply bins, setting up those supplies, and training your on-site staff to support during the event.
As a contractor, you come equipped with your own technology package, smartphone, robust cellular plan, laptop, and accessories. You are comfortable traveling to events when needed; this may be by air for 1-3 days or driving 1-3 hours to an event locally.
Check out some of our customer testimonials:
“The event was very organized and a wild success for our team. The process was made very easy by the Outback team in helping us plan this event – from our engagement consultant Bryan to our event manager and coordinator Kevin, to our amazing event host Miguel. I have no doubt we will be working with your team again soon on another event.” – Gusto
“The Outback team was very professional in planning & executing our virtual team building event for 150 Associates across India, Europe & North America! The team that executed the activity (Heather, Stephanie, Aiden, & Dolena) were very friendly, fun, engaging, upbeat & accommodating with a minor last minute requests & follow-up requests. A+” – Amazon
“Bradley was an amazing host and got the energy going within the team. The event itself was a really good way to get to know team members in a smaller setting, which is something that I found really meaningful in building relationships with folks on the team that you normally don’t talk with on a daily.” – Dropbox
