Grandstand started in 2017 with a simple idea. Event teams should not need a big tech department to create a modern app. Whether you run a fair, festival, conference, or tour, your tools should feel friendly, flexible, and stress free.
From our home base in Lincoln, Nebraska, we built Grandstand into a platform now used by hundreds of organizations across the US and around the world. What began as a small project has become a trusted partner for events of every size.
We still keep things personal. When you work with Grandstand, you hear directly from the people who design, build, improve, and support the platform every day. At the same time, our tools, partners, and infrastructure scale confidently to support tens of thousands of users during busy event weekends.
Founder-led, hands-on, and focused on delivering the right experience for every client.

Remote | Contract | 10–20 hours per week
Grandstand builds mobile apps for festivals, events, fairs, tourism organizations, and communities across the US and Canada. Our platform powers schedules, maps, vendors, alerts, scavenger hunts, rewards, and more. We work with hundreds of partners each year, many of whom operate on tight timelines leading up to live events.
We are looking for a detail-oriented Part-Time Content Specialist to help build, organize, and quality-check content inside our apps.
The Part-Time Content Specialist is responsible for creating and maintaining in-app content using the Grandstand admin platform. This role is execution-focused and ideal for someone who is organized, reliable, and comfortable working through structured tasks while managing multiple apps at once.
This is a remote, flexible role with heavier workloads during peak event season.
