The ideal candidate has familiarity with planning and running multi-day residential events, including building relationships with venues and ensuring all logistics run smoothly.
Key Responsibilities:
- Managing the full life cycle of retreat logistics, from event inception through production

- Researching venues and building relationships with vendors
- Communicating with participants, faculty and venues regarding retreat logistics

You must have access to a car, be willing to be at times on-site and at times on-call via text and phone during retreats & events, and have a flexible schedule.
