Influencer Coordinator (Part-Time, Temporary)

Voodoo Doughnut is looking for a culturally fluent, creatively driven coordinator to help turn our restaurant openings into moments people actually talk about. This role sits at the intersection of food, creators, and internet culture. You will help shape how Voodoo shows up in new cities through influencer partnerships, social storytelling, and real community engagement.

This is a foundational opportunity to coordinate inbound creators and influencers for Voodoo Doughnut restaurant grand openings. Provide details for pre-opening events, capture, organize and respond to social media content postings, and engage with local and relevant communities to facilitate an exciting and successful launch.
