What you’ll own

Event planning & organization 

  • Lead end-to-end planning for signature community events (Annual Dinner, Hot Cocoa Walk, Ice Carving, Spring Wine Walk/5K, ExB Days, Coffin Races, Christmas Parade, Santa Chalet, etc.).

  • Oversee regular marketing tasks (ads, billboards, mailers, digital images) and coordinate with agencies.
  • Lead website/CRM content updates and special CRM/website projects.

Partnership engagement & recruitment

  • Produce partner newsletters, track contributions, and improve partner benefits and renewal processes.
  • Be a visible ExB advocate in the Burlington community.

Community connection & admin

Systems & process

  • Maintain clear SOPs for permits, volunteer deployment, sponsorship tracking, and event checklists.
  • Deliver repeatable, measurable improvements to processes and data.

You (must-haves)

  • 3+ years event management or partnership engagement experience (nonprofit/chamber/tourism a plus).
  • Strong project management skills: budgets, timelines, vendor & volunteer coordination.
  • Experience designing marketing assets (Canva or similar) and coordinating with vendors/agencies.
  • Comfortable owning a CRM/partner database and improving data processes — you love checklists and SOPs.
