What We Do

Calgary Corporate Challenge is a nonprofit events company aimed at elevating the experience of working Calgarians while providing the largest scale employee engagement event in Canada. CCC runs several events throughout each year, including our headlining event: the CCC September Games. The CCC Games boasts over 8,000 participants from 130+ local companies for 15 days of cross-industry networking and team-building events.

Who We Are

We’re a small team, and as is often the case with small companies, we all tend to wear a lot of hats (figuratively speaking). We work closely and collaboratively as a team on most projects and events, and we genuinely have a good time doing it. Our slogan is, “Where Work Comes to Play”, and we do our best to live out that motto!

What We’re Looking For

Individuals with knowledge of (and preferably a degree in) Event Planning and/or Sport Management, Health and Wellness or a related field who are looking to gain meaningful work experience in the world of event planning, in the nonprofit sector, and/or in sports event management.

A self-starter who is highly motivated, dependable and organized. The right candidate will possess exceptional communication skills, and a strong work AND play ethic. It also doesn’t hurt to have some familiarity with Google Workspace applications.

Must have access to working internet, a computer and a phone. A valid drivers licence is also required. Evening & weekend availability may be required.

Preferred: Current CPR & First Aid Certification

Calgary Corporate Challenge has an open hiring and recruitment policy, and we are committed to evolving diversity including but not limited to age, gender, and ethnicity.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Communicating with a variety of stakeholder groups including sponsors, charity partners, venues, vendors, officials, participants and volunteers through email, in meetings, and at events.
• Event preparation and management, including but not limited to scheduling, reviewing and fulfilling packing lists, organizing and managing storage unit inventory, assisting with setup and takedown of event-specific equipment
• Note: The physical environment requires the employee to work both inside and occasionally outside in hot/cold, wet/dry conditions. Ability to lift up to 50 pounds may be required.
• Highlighting CCC on Social Media up to and throughout the CCC Games
• Training and working with volunteers to support them with setup, event management, and problem solving as needed

Why You Should Work With Us:

• Hands-on, practical experience in event planning and execution.
• Unique opportunities to engage and network with stakeholders in corporate Calgary.
• Work with a small and dynamic team in a collaborative environment. When one of us succeeds, we all succeed! And when one of us struggles, we can all go get ice cream.
  

Please note: While this is currently a contract position, there may be an opportunity to join the team full time in the near future.

To apply:

Email us (see contact below) your resume along with a cover letter telling us a little bit about yourself. We want to know the somewhat important stuff like what skills and experience you have and what you’re hoping to learn through this experience, but we also want to know the really important stuff like which sports teams you cheer for, what movie or tv show you’d recommend, or what your favourite ice cream shop in Calgary is. Yes, really. We have a spreadsheet going.

The application period will remain open until we find the perfect candidate to join our team. We appreciate all applications, but only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview.
