Marketing & Events Coordinator

Reports To: Marketing Manager

Location: Brian Head Resort 329 UT-143 Brian Head, UT 84719

Employment Type: Full-Time, Seasonal (Winter & Summer)

About The Role

We are seeking a dynamic and highly organized Marketing & Events Coordinator to join our team for our winter and summer seasons. This unique position plays a vital role in enhancing the guest experience by blending creative marketing strategies with the execution of unforgettable resort events. This role will adapt to our seasonal business needs, focusing heavily on event planning and fulfillment in the vibrant summer and spring months, and shifting to a marketing-centric role during the winter.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with a passion for both marketing and event management, an eye for detail, and a genuine love for the outdoors. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, excel at managing diverse responsibilities, and want to share your passion for the mountain lifestyle, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

A Note on Our Seasonal Rhythm: This is a seasonal position designed for those who embrace the adventure of a mountain lifestyle. There will be a planned, unpaid break in employment during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall), typically lasting 3 to 5 weeks between seasons. This built-in downtime is a unique opportunity to pursue your own grand adventures, whether that means backpacking for an extended period, taking a long raft trip, or traveling to other parts of the world to ski before returning refreshed for the next exciting season with us.
