Get ahead with CREB — apply to become our next Event Coordinator!

The most creative organizations aren’t afraid of trying new things and reaching beyond the scope of everyday business practice to find that next nugget of possibility.

At CREB, we embrace this line of thinking and encourage our dynamic team of professionals to follow suit. Why? Because we know that every employee has the capacity to add value – that people do their greatest work when given the space to stretch their creative minds and apply the best of themselves in the workplace.

It’s what makes our culture unique and why you should seriously consider joining our team.

What qualifications and skills do I need to meet your requirements?

Working collaboratively with team members and other business units, CREB’s Event Coordinator is responsible for supporting the delivery on all aspects of event planning and execution as well as space activation.

Some key responsibilities include:

1. Coordinate events, which may include handling registration and RSVPs, venue and catering communications, volunteer recruitment, set up and take down, organizing vendor contacts, coordinating between CREB departments, sourcing rentals, logistics and deliveries, IT requirements, etc.
2. Conceptualize, plan, and execute various CREB Campus events and member engagement strategies throughout the year to activate the Campus space and encourage member involvement.
3. Work collaboratively with the Event Planner to determine event objectives, audience, format, scope and budget, as directed.

7. Physical labour may be required, lifting up to 50 lbs.

These are the core elements of the job, but it’s really so much more. We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly organized individual who approaches their day with a positive, solution-focused attitude. If you are passionate about delivering an amazing client and member experience and thrive in a dynamic environment, this could be the opportunity for you.

Are there benefits? Can we talk compensation?
