The posting

Conference Supervisors are responsible for assisting with the planning for our upcoming 2027 summer conference season, as well as with the supervision of the summer conference operations team, coordination of event-related logistics, day-to-day operational tasks, information management, and record keeping in the conference software program StarRez. They will provide exceptional customer service and perform tasks related to summer programs including client communications, rosters, key and dining card management, room inspections, linen distribution if needed, and other relevant tasks. Conference Supervisors will also assist with the recruitment, hiring and training of our summer student team. They will lead and motivate that team throughout the summer and will be responsible for delegating work both in the office and out in the field. Conference Supervisors report to the Conference Operations Manager and Director of Conferences. This position is an office role during the spring semester but will also require time spent in our residential areas during the summer. Because our office is open 7 days a week from mid-May to mid-August, Conference Supervisors will be required to work a flexible hourly schedule, which will include assigned weekend rotations, some evenings and possibly holidays.
