Event Development Coordinator
Tourism Revelstoke | Revelstoke, BC
Full-time, permanent, year-round | $58,000 to $65,000 per year | Start date: January 2027
About Tourism Revelstoke
Tourism Revelstoke is the destination marketing and management organization for Revelstoke, BC. We promote Revelstoke to visitors year-round and work alongside local businesses, community partners and residents to make sure tourism strengthens the place we call home. Our destination management approach means thinking carefully about who we invite, when they come and how their visit benefits the community. Our current focus is growing visitation in the shoulder seasons, when local businesses and workers benefit most from steadier demand.
About the Role
This new, year-round position adds dedicated capacity to our events work. The Event Development Coordinator strengthens Revelstoke's event economy by supporting events already happening here, attracting new events and conferences, and helping local organizers and businesses build the skills to host events well.
Rather than producing events directly, this role works alongside organizers, businesses, and community partners to help their events succeed and to develop Revelstoke's events sector as a whole. You'll keep a strategic view of the community event calendar, identify gaps and opportunities across the seasons, and recommend ways Tourism Revelstoke can strengthen how it supports and attracts events.
Events are one of our most effective tools for managing the destination. Well-timed, well-run events can smooth demand across seasons, support local businesses during quieter periods, and give residents and visitors meaningful reasons to connect. This role will help ensure the events we support and attract fit Revelstoke's capacity, timing and values, and deliver lasting benefit to the community.
The position reports to the Communications and Engagement Manager and is part of a small, collaborative team.
What You’ll Do
You'll work directly with organizers of in-destination events, helping with planning, promotion and logistics, and connecting them with local partners and suppliers. You'll support our event and conference attraction efforts by researching opportunities, assessing how well they fit Revelstoke's seasonality and community capacity, preparing bid materials and hosting site visits alongside the Communications and Engagement Manager.
You'll design and deliver event management training for local organizers and businesses, including practices that reduce event impacts and increase local benefit. You'll manage our event supply rental program, including inventory, bookings, maintenance, and rental agreements. You'll also maintain and monitor the community event calendar, identifying gaps, conflicts, and opportunities to spread events across the year. You'll track event outcomes and economic impact, and use what you learn to recommend new event opportunities and improvements to our event support and attraction programs.
What You Bring
You have 2+ years of experience in event planning, event development, tourism, community development, or a related field. You understand how events come together from the organizer's side, and you're interested in the bigger picture: how a community's events sector grows, where the gaps are, and what it takes to attract and keep the right events.
You're highly organized and comfortable managing logistics, timelines, and several projects at once. Just as importantly, you're flexible and steady under pressure. Events rarely go exactly to plan, and you stay calm and constructive when priorities shift, problems surface at the last minute, or a plan needs to change quickly. You're a resourceful problem solver who can think on your feet without losing track of the details.
You build strong relationships with a wide range of people, from volunteer organizers and local business owners to conference and event planners, and you understand that good events serve both visitors and the host community. Knowledge of the Revelstoke community and its event landscape is an asset.
Working Conditions
This is a hybrid position with a minimum of two days per week in our Revelstoke office. Some evening and weekend work will be required to support event schedules. Applicants must be legally eligible to work in Canada.
