CASE Building & Event Coordinator
Job Summary
The Enrollment Management division at CU Boulder welcomes applications for the CASE Building & Event Coordinator position! This role supports the daily functioning of the CASE building (Center for Academic Success & Engagement) and contributes to a welcoming, organized, and guest centered environment for all visitors, including prospective students and families, school groups, campus partners, building tenants, and community members. This position manages front line communication through the CASE Services inbox, coordinates select space reservations, and provides operational support for evening and weekend events.
This role is 100% in person and not offered a hybrid option. The individual in this role will support Visitor Experience & CASE event communication and bookings and will be responsible for supervising set-up, tear-down, and the clean-up from large-scale events to small meetings events. This position collaboratively supports student staff training and two information desk operations in the CASE building. While not the primary supervisor of student employees, the coordinator serves as the Manager-On-Duty supporting student staff during evening or weekend hours. Due to the volume of requests and visitors within CASE and details surrounding events, the person in this role must be diligent, communicative, and able to manage multiple projects at once. A proven ability to connect with people and work both collaboratively and independently in a team-focused and client-focused environment is needed. As this position covers nontraditional hours, little to no supervision is provided when working evenings/weekends; this individual must be able to make critical decisions based upon previous trainings that are aligned with our mission and values. The person in this role will need to bring strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a growth-minded, solution focused approach to daily operations.
