In this role, you will transition your experience in ministry, coaching, youth leadership, or recreation into a professional hospitality environment. You will be responsible for creating a vibrant, inclusive culture by designing and executing a diverse calendar of events, tournaments, youth activities, and multigenerational programs that turn neighbors into family.

  • Volunteer Mobilization: Recruit, train, and guide resident committees and volunteer groups to help lead community clubs and support major events.
  • Communications & Hype: Act as the "voice of the community." Author the monthly community newsletter, manage resident app updates, and create high-energy social media content to drive maximum participation.
  • Vendor & Budget Management: Source, negotiate with, and supervise third-party vendors (entertainers, instructors, caterers). Manage the annual lifestyle programming budget efficiently.
  • Amenity Oversight: Ensure clubhouse spaces, sports courts, and recreational spaces are safe, welcoming, and properly prepared for daily resident use.
Qualifications & Transferable Skills
  • Experience: 3–5 years of proven experience leading large groups, orchestrating high-turnout events, or directing programs. Backgrounds in Youth Ministry, Athletic Coaching, Camp Directing, Parks & Recreation, or Hospitality are highly preferred.
  • People Skills: Exceptional public speaking ability with a natural talent for commanding a crowd and welcoming newcomers.
  • Logistics & Organization: Strong organizational skills; comfortable managing digital calendars, software platforms (e.g., Canva, Microsoft Office), and balancing multiple project timelines.
  • Flexibility: Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays, to align with community events.
  • Certifications: CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain). A valid driver’s license with a clean driving record.
