Event Operations Coordinator

Overview:
Camp North End seeks an Event Operations Coordinator to drive planning processes for in-house programming and third-party event experiences, with a logistics-crushing skillset and a customer-service mindset.

The Event Operations Coordinator will report directly to the Community Manager as a key member of the Community Team. As the point-person for initial legwork related to event planning, they will frequently collaborate across internal departments and liaise with a wide variety of stakeholders including community leaders, event hosts and vendors, Camp tenants, leasing prospects, elected officials, investors, property management partners, and representatives from the public sector.

Camp North End is an adaptive reuse project that will redevelop historic buildings and build new construction across 76 acres over 20 years. When fully developed Camp will boast over 3 million square feet of office, residential, retail, and public space designed with an eye towards helping people and productivity thrive.

Such an ambitious vision requires a diverse team of smart, humble, enthusiastic, hard-working people who bring their talents to bear at every stage of the project’s life cycle. As Camp enters the next phase of its development, with office tenants in occupancy and apartments under construction, strategic programming remains a key tactic for activating the site, building the brand, and nurturing important relationships. Motivated by this bigger picture, the Event Operations Coordinator will play a crucial role on the frontlines.
