Summary

We are seeking capable, self-directed people who can handle the building, the guests and the unexpected without needing supervision. All events will be during “off-hours” times, i.e. after 5pm on weeknights and/or during the weekend.

Description

The Posner Center hosts evening and weekend events that entail a mix of our own programming, external rentals, and events run by our member organizations.

The Posner Center is located at 1031 33rd Street, Denver, CO 80205 in the Curtis Park neighborhood.

The Roster

We are building a roster of two to four Independent Contractors (“Contractors”) to produce these events on site. Each contractor runs the building for the length of an event, from set-up to lock-up.

1. Every few weeks, or more frequently if needed, the Posner staff sends the upcoming event schedule to the roster. The Events Production Independent Contractors will work with the Interim Building Director, or the Executive Director once hired, to train and coordinate for each event.

2. Contractors sign up for the events they want to work. When more than one person chooses to work an event, it will be assigned to the first Contractor to respond.

3. As we build this program, we hope trained Contractors will commit to at least two events a month.

4. After you have confirmed an event, we require at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel. We ask that you help us find a replacement from the roster, wherever possible.

Services

For each event, the Contractor is responsible for the following outcomes:

Building access and security

● Arrive 30 minutes before the event set up begins, unlock, disarm the alarm and do a walk-through
