Conference Supervisor (Student Wage)

Conference Supervisors

Conference Supervisors (CS) are responsible for assisting with the planning for our upcoming 2026 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 serve as a conference expert for an assigned group of summer conference programs, providing exceptional customer service and performing tasks related to those 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 Event Operations Manager for Conferences. This position is not strictly an office role, but will require time spent outside 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.
