Festival App Design & Product Coordinator
The Big Dill® is hiring a paid, project-based Festival App Design & Product Coordinator to help build The Big Dill Pickle Pass, the official app experience for our 2026 three-city tour across Baltimore, Arlington/DFW, and Philadelphia.
This is not a coding role. The Pickle Pass will be built inside an existing event app platform such as Grandstand. The role is closer to product development: helping structure the app, organize features, build content, test mobile flows, improve the guest experience, and make sure the app is useful during a real festival.
The Pickle Pass will help guests choose their city, view maps, browse vendors, follow schedules, receive push notifications, complete scavenger hunts, enter photo challenges, vote for Best in Brine, submit costume contest entries, unlock prizes, and access FAQ / Ask AI support.
Strong skills in Canva, Figma, Photoshop, Google Sheets, Monday.com, mobile app tools, QR flows, short guest-facing copy, and organized product thinking are required.
Responsibilities include creating app content, organizing vendor and sponsor listings, building feature trackers, helping design badges and QR signage, drafting push notifications, mapping scavenger hunt and photo challenge flows, testing the app on mobile devices, and improving anything that feels confusing.
Before applying: research The Big Dill and Grandstand. In your cover letter, include:
- What would you personally want to see in a festival app that would make you actually use it during an event?
- One Grandstand feature you think could be useful for The Big Dill Pickle Pass.
- One idea to make the app feel fun, not like homework.
- One example of design, app, content, product, or project work you have created.
Generic applications will not be considered.
Ideal candidates understand festivals, food events, pop-ups, concerts, social media, and what makes people scan, click, play, and participate at live events.
