Position Type: Professional Tech Full time

College: Front Range Community College

Division: Office of the President

Department: FRCC Institutional Events

Campus: Larimer Campus or Westminster Campus

Location: Fort Collins CO or Westminster CO

Salary Range: $62,271-$65,384 annually

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.

As the Manager of Institutional Events at Front Range Community College (FRCC), you will lead the detailed planning, coordination, and execution of institutional events across all three FRCC campuses. Your responsibilities will encompass creating welcoming event spaces and supporting the smooth execution of institution-wide events that affect FRCC's reputation, partnerships, and employee engagement.

Reporting to the Director of Institutional Events in the Office of the President, you will be responsible for crafting exceptional event experiences for external clients and internal stakeholders including FRCC dignitary events, campus festivals, fundraising events, and major ceremonies like Commencement and college‑wide employee training day. You will work collaboratively with team members and cross‑departmentally with Student Life, Information Technology, Foundation & Community partnerships, Facilities, and Security.

Essential skills for this role include effective communication, project management, critical thinking, decision‑making, attention to detail, and resourcefulness. You will also partner with external organizations, including the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) and other community partners, to manage on‑ and off‑campus events.

This position has the opportunity to work remotely occasionally but does require a strong on‑campus presence and will need to travel to all three FRCC campuses. Evening and weekend work is occasionally required to support college events and initiatives. Duties are performed in a standard office setting with frequent event‑space visits, and the role involves occasional lifting and transporting material of up to 20 pounds.
