Do you thrive in creating memorable experiences while being both creative and strategic? Are you looking for a position where you can make a positive difference?

We’re CCMC, a community management company specializing in large-scale communities. Our vision of revolutionizing the industry by inspiring a resident-centric focus is brought to life by our core values of Integrity, Respect, Service, and Community.

About the Community:

LiveDAYBREAK / Daybreak Community Council, LLC, is an award-winning and growing organization that is known for exemplary events and activities and is within the top ten master planned communities. This growing community hosts unique and award-winning events (up to 200 events each year), including a large concert series, several cultural festivals, Oktoberfest and several arts-related festivals, as well as our creative and wacky signature event called the Pumpkin Regatta.

LiveDAYBREAK plays a dynamic leadership role in helping Daybreak continue to be the most desirable community in Utah by creating a culture where our residents live more fulfilling lives. This is achieved by implementing our organization’s pillars into every program, special event, or initiative we execute. Our pillars are a “recipe” to a fulfilling life and are: connecting, lifelong learning, embracing arts and diversity, healthy living, and giving back. We believe that our residents will love where they live the more they integrate these pillars into their lives, and we see our employees live more fulfilling lives and love where they work as they bring these ideas into the community.

In this crucial role, you’ll:

Play a key role in executing our company’s purpose statement: We build community by bringing people together in the neighborhoods where they live and in the offices where we work. Simply put, we create experiences that connect people. Lifestyle Directors work with residents and community partners to create and facilitate connections through events, programming, and communications.

What you’ll accomplish:

• Opportunity to open a new outdoor ice rink in Downtown Daybreak from the ground-up in conjunction with Larry H. Miller. This endeavor will include recruiting ice rink staff, establishing best practices, managing ice rink operations, and includes a 24-show summer concert series with national touring acts.
• Creating, planning, promoting and executing LiveDAYBREAK’s events, primarily the mid-level events and initiatives.
• Creating weekly, monthly, and yearly programming for residents of all ages.
• Managing event budgets and meeting set cost-recovery goals.
• Event set-up and break down.
• Organizing resident volunteer groups to assist in planning and implementing events.
• Producing, maintaining, and following an annual budget for activity income and expenses
• Working cohesively with the Communications Associate in developing content for the community communications – website, newsletters, promotional materials, social media accounts, etc.
• Establishing and nurturing partnerships with local organizations and businesses to benefit residents and the overall community
• Overseeing the operation of the amenity center including rentals
• Developing and implementing general policies and procedures
• Administrative duties
• Creation, coordination and support for community clubs, groups, and committees
• Ability to create a strong, professional, and symbiotic relationship with the Board of Directors.
• Must be comfortable with public speaking and engagement.

• This is not an 8-5, Monday-Friday desk job. Qualified candidates must be able to work onsite at the community and work flexible, full-time hours M-F, with ability to work additional hours on some nights, weekends and holidays.
• Qualified candidates must be self-motivated and able to work effectively with a resident board and committee members, as well as volunteers.
• Candidates should have 3-4 years of professional experience in event planning, recreation programming, public relations or other related experience and 2 years of professional experience with creating and managing communications.
• A Bachelor’s Degree or higher, ideally in recreation, communications, journalism or community development from an accredited college or university is preferred.
• Must pass pre-employment drug screen, driving record, and background check.
• Experience with facility operations (specifically ice rinks) is preferred, but not required
