Main Job Tasks and Responsibilities: Logistics: You will utilize and improve a system for event execution. You will coordinate with sales for implementation handoff and maintain each project in the system (approximately 100/year). You will ensure that all checklists, materials, equipment, people, and vehicles arrive at the appropriate location on time for each event. You will lead some events, perform guide briefings, work with facilitators, manage all logistics, and be the “Go-To” person for all on-site guides. You will assist in developing, maintaining, and implementing CBST event procedures and protocols.

Our busy season is May – October (70% of our events). Expectations of overtime work during that time will be required. Long days and hard work on both weekdays and weekends are expected. Many times, your work will involve rafting/camping/rock climbing/mountain biking, so work won’t always feel like work. During the slower season, you’ll be able to work on your skiing and biking. Strong organizational and written/verbal skills; must be able to manage multiple concurrent projects. Operate in a team-oriented environment; work across both the sales and implementation teams to accomplish goals. Must be hands-on and willing to lead event teams. Ability to operate from both a strategic viewpoint and project manage tactical execution. Self-driven individual who can analyze, plan, and execute programs with minimal supervision.

Residence in the Metro Denver area is a must. Clean driving record strongly preferred. Most employees work an average of 30 hours per week over the year, with spikes in the busy season. Our flexible schedule allows you to get the work done when it makes the most sense to you (within reason on actual events or times when you’ll need to work with the team). We are also an active team, so biking, skiing, hiking, rafting, and rock climbing are extra benefits of the job. Compensation will be a combination of hourly, bonus, and profit sharing, determined based on your experience level and other intangibles that you bring. #J-18808-Ljbffr CBST Adventures
