Community Development Coordinator

Do You Enjoy Organizing Events, Bringing People Together, and Helping Small Businesses Succeed?

Would you be excited about planning gatherings, encouraging participation, and making things happen? Do you enjoy organizing events where business owners walk away with fresh ideas, valuable insights, new relationships, and renewed enthusiasm for their businesses? If so, this could be a your next opportunity to put those talents and interests to work.

As a Community Development Coordinator, you'll help create opportunities for local small business owners to step away from the day-to-day demands of running their businesses, exchange ideas with other owners, learn together, and discover resources that can help them grow profitability and freedom.

You'll play an important role in organizing business roundtables, workshops, planning sessions, and other gatherings designed to help business owners become more successful. You’ll network and share with the business community the amazing results our clients are enjoying and invite them to individual discovery meetings with one of our coaches and/or exclusive sessions with other local small business owners.

This is a flexible, part-time opportunity that could easily become full time for a professional who enjoys connecting with others and bringing the right people together for everyone’s benefit.
