Job Summary:

 

This recruitment will be used to fill one full-time, 10-month, University Development Project Coordinator 1 position, for the College of Liberal Arts, at Oregon State University (OSU).

 

This onsite position supports the implementation of events at the Patricia Valian Reser Center for the Creative Arts (PRAx), including receptions/dinners, arts and speaking events, VIP visits and hosting, workshops and classes, meetings and gatherings, and similar. It requires outstanding organizational and communicative skills to meet the needs of a facility that holds almost daily events of all sorts. While many events are in the building itself, PRAx also sends visiting artists, speakers, and scholars to conduct classes and workshops off-site.

 

The position reports to the Event Manager while working closely to intake event details across the multiple departments of PRAx.

 

The position holder is expected to move fluidly between logistical and implementational tasks, as well as between locations in the building, on-campus, and, on occasion, off-campus. A typical day could include email or phone correspondence and will commonly involve light to moderate physical labor (moving chairs and/or lecterns, arranging and placing decor, setting up tables and materials, operating simple AV setups, and the like). The position holder attends many events in the portfolio to provide on-site monitoring.
