Community Activation & Programming Lead

About Umvelt

Umvelt is a modern bathhouse and social wellness space designed for restoration, connection, and community. With saunas, pools, and an upstairs lounge shared with our restaurant partner Nissa, Umvelt blends relaxation, culture, and hospitality into one seamless experience.

We’re hiring a Community Activation & Programming Lead to help bring that vision to life.

This position designs and executes experiences that connect the bathhouse and lounge into a unified guest journey. You will plan events, build partnerships, activate the lounge space, create brand-aligned content, manage event logistics in our booking software, and serve as the primary liaison with Nissa—all while building systems that allow programs to run smoothly without ongoing leadership involvement.

You will also play a key role in shaping and developing Umvelt’s signature aromatherapy and aufguss sauna programming.
