The Beaver Creek Resort Company effectively serves as the government of Beaver Creek. We are responsible for overseeing Beaver Creek’s merchants, homeowners, rules and regulations, events and event marketing. The BCRC Events Department produces 14 signature events per year and 112 days of activities. Additionally, we support 17 third-party events per year. The Special Events Intern purpose is to support the Event Managers in the execution of these events. The Special Events Intern will learn all facets of event planning, management, and execution.

Duties include, but are not limited to:

• Assist in the planning, set up, event execution and teardown of our on-going, weekly family activities and signature events
• Serve as the “team leader” for one or two animations or events and develop the schedule of events, work with BC marketing department and generate increased attendance at each of these events.
• At the end of the internship, the associate will be required to present a report of ho
• w attendance has changed throughout the winter, and how the guest experience has been elevated at each of these events.
• Assist with the marketing and public relations for all of these events
• Assist in general office tasks
• Brand representative - expected to represent high expectations of the company and brand conducting business while interacting with integrity and keeping the best interest of BCRC in mind

Qualifications:

• Outstanding work ethic. The intern must be willing to work odd hours, do manual labor (event planning requires a lot of hands-on, physical work including site set-up/take-down, taking supplies to/from storage facilities, etc.) and work through the elements (events go on – rain or shine – or snow!).
• Ability to prioritize and follow-through. Three Event Managers will at different times supervise the intern. It is important that the intern be able to prioritize projects, ask for direction when needed and follow through on the completion of tasks.
• Self-motivated/Self-sufficient.  Our department is extremely busy year-round and the intern will be expected to take on a lot of responsibility and work independently without supervision. 
• Good teamwork skills.  Although the intern will be expected to work on his/her own for much of the time, he/she will also constantly be interacting with the rest of the event team members and other members of other departments.
• Excellent organization skills.  Being detail oriented and very organized is essential to the success of any event.  Our events are very multifaceted, and the event organizers must have every aspect planned well in advance.
• Excellent problem solving skills. When planning events, unforeseen obstacles arise, more often than not. The ability to gather the necessary information in order to make decisions is a very important trait for the intern to have.
• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written).
• Good computer skills (Microsoft Word and Excel).
• Positive attitude.
• Applicants are required to be enrolled in or just graduated from an accredited school (University/College/Trade School)

We’re looking for team members whose legendary attention to detail and commitment to phenomenal service comes naturally.
