Are you excited by the idea of supporting artists and creatives while working in a collaborative, nonprofit environment? Are you detail-oriented, people-focused, and comfortable juggling data, communications, and events? If so, we invite you to apply to join the Arts Council Wood Buffalo team and play a key role in strengthening our arts community.

As our Engagement Coordinator, you get to:

As the Engagement Coordinator, you will work closely with the Engagement Manager to support Arts Council Wood Buffalo’s Membership Program and community outreach efforts. You will be the main point of contact for ACWB members and play a vital role in ensuring our membership experience is welcoming, well-organised, and responsive. This role blends relationship-building, data management, communications, and event support, making it ideal for someone who enjoys both people-facing and behind-the-scenes work.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Engagement Manager, the Engagement Coordinator will::

• Serve as the primary contact for ACWB members
• Maintain and update the membership database and records
• Coordinate member communications, including emails and updates
• Participate in community outreach and public speaking opportunities
• Support the planning and execution of ACWB events and programs
• Assisting with data tracking, reporting, and evaluation related to membership and engagement
• Be available for evening and weekend work.

This job might be for you if:

You’re excited by building connections and helping people feel welcome, informed, and valued within a creative community. You communicate clearly and thoughtfully, and you enjoy being a reliable point of contact for artists, members, and partners.

You’re organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable balancing multiple tasks at once—whether that’s managing data, supporting communications, or assisting with events and programs.

You work well as part of a team, maintain open and effective communication with management, and can manage your time independently to meet deadlines and follow through on commitments.

Community engagement and behind-the-scenes coordination energise you! You’re confident using tools like Google Suite and databases or CRM systems, and you take pride in maintaining accurate records, clear communications, and smooth administrative processes.

Physical demands:

You won’t need the strength of a powerlifter, but this role does require a solid amount of hands-on, on-site work. You’ll be actively involved in setting up and taking down program and special event infrastructure, which includes lifting and moving equipment and materials (up to approximately 50 lbs) in a safe, supported environment. Expect to be on your feet, moving between spaces, driving to events, and pitching in wherever needed to make things run smoothly. This role will also include evenings and weekends– perfect for someone with giddy-up-and-go who enjoys being part of the action.

Qualifications and Experience

• Experience supporting or delivering programs and events, preferably within the arts, culture, or nonprofit sector (an asset).
• Knowledge of, or a strong interest in, the Wood Buffalo arts and culture community.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, with a collaborative, people-first approach.
• Comfort with hands-on, physical work, including event set-up and takedown, and the ability to safely lift up to approximately 50 lbs as required.
• Proficiency with computers and technology, including word processing, spreadsheets, and online tools; familiarity with databases or CRM systems is an asset.
• A positive attitude and a good sense of humour—especially during busy event days!

Compensation and Benefits

• Salary: $50,000–$60,000 per annum, based on experience and credentials.
• Benefits: Access to a benefits package and professional development funds after a probationary period.
