Ops Coordinator

Overview:

The Summit team is composed of producers, community builders, engineers, writers, and operators all with a sharp eye for experiential design and human connection. At Summit, you’ll create and support a product that enables a global community of leaders to develop meaningful relationships around dynamic shared experiences. Each team member values each other’s success as much as their own – we value reciprocity, growth, and fun.

• Taking a larger role in running the event on-site.  There will be managers for each component (food, beverage, design, transportation) but you will be a central point of information and knowledge – often being is the best position to make decisions.

Qualifications:

• 0-2 years of experience of event production and organization

• Excellent phone and communication skills

• Not afraid of long hours required to produce large scale multi-day event
