BIFF Venues Team Co-Leader for 2027 and Beyond

Needed: BIFF Venues Team Co-Leader

The BIFF Venues Team Co-Leader plays a central role in recruiting, organizing and managing the Venues Volunteer Team. The BIFF Venues Team oversees theater logistics at our five Theater Venues during the 4-day festival April 8-11, 2027. Ideally, the Co-Venues lead will be interested in learning and taking over the role for the following season and beyond.. This is a hybrid role, but you must live locally and be available for in-person meetings/trainings during the day and some evenings and weekends. This role begins in November 2026 and does include a small stipend, a BIFF Film Pass, complimentary tickets to share with friends and is a great way to get involved in a fun community event and meet tons of people!

Our ideal candidate is a people person with strong organizational skills who enjoys recruiting, working with and training volunteers and feels comfortable in a fast-paced setting. Ideally, the venues team lead has prior experience coordinating teams in an event/venues type setting, but we will certainly consider someone who has similar experience in a similar setting. We require strong familiarity with Google spreadsheets, calendaring, and a willingness to learn the simple Shiftboard scheduling software. We welcome your creativity, flexibility, strong leadership skills and detailed organizational and listening skills. It’s important that this person is able to handle a hectic environment, think on their feet, be outgoing and flexible and bring a fun, team spirit to the role, because sometimes the festival environment can be a little chaotic!
