  • Plan and host activities such as dinners, cocktail hours, concerts, game nights, and adventure outings

  • Design experiences that feel relevant, social, and age-appropriate without siloing the community

  • Coordinate basic logistics (location, timing, headcount) in collaboration with the Facilitator and Business Team


Outreach & participation


  • Personally invite people and encourage “bring a friend” participation

  • Build energy and momentum around each gathering

  • Coordinate with Promotions and Welcome teams to spread the word


During events

  • Make sure no one feels left out or stuck on the margins

  • Salon social engagement

  • Foster social engagement during Salon gatherings through light icebreakers and social prompts


After events


  • Gather informal feedback

  • Share what worked and what didn’t

  • Suggest ideas for future social activities


Tools you’ll use


  • Messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp, text, email)

  • Social media sharing (Instagram, Facebook)

  • Simple planning tools (shared docs, sign-up lists)

  • Messaging collaboratively provided by the team


Time ask


  • Weekly: 4-5 hours for planning and outreach

  • Additional time during hosted events

  • Events may be monthly or occasional, depending on interest and capacity


What you bring


  • Extroverted, relationship-driven energy

  • Enjoyment of planning experiences and bringing people together

  • Comfort inviting people personally and following up

  • Good instincts for what feels fun, welcoming, and low-pressure

  • Reliability and follow-through


What you get

  • Impact: Expands community life beyond the Salon
