About The Gathering Spot
The Gathering Spot is a premier private membership club designed for ambitious professionals, creatives, and leaders who value authentic connection and elevated experiences. We're more than a space—we're a carefully curated community where meaningful relationships and opportunities flourish.

The Opportunity
We’re seeking a highly creative and culturally attuned Programming Curator to shape and deliver exceptional member experiences. This part-time, contracted role is ideal for someone who excels at crafting meaningful events, curating community moments, and bringing fresh ideas to life.

As a Programming Curator, you will be responsible for ideating, pitching, producing, and executing five member-focused events per month , including one marquee event that anchors the club’s cultural calendar. You will work closely with the National Programming Director to ensure all events reflect the values, interests, and aspirations of our member community.

This role is about curation, creativity, and connection —designing experiences that deepen relationships and elevate the membership.

What You'll Do

Event Ideation & Curation

  • Develop original, culturally relevant event concepts tailored to member interests and community needs.

  • Pitch monthly event concepts to the National Programming Director for alignment and approval.

  • Curate a well-balanced monthly programming slate that includes five events , with one marquee experience that stands out in impact and scale.

Event Production & Execution

  • Manage full-cycle event production—from concept development to run-of-show creation and on-site execution.

  • Coordinate talent, partners, speakers, and vendors to support programming needs.

  • Ensure seamless event delivery in collaboration with operations, marketing, and membership teams.

  • Maintain a high standard of event quality, member engagement, and cultural relevance.

Community Engagement

  • Design events that authentically foster connection, conversation, and belonging.

  • Gauge member feedback, track event performance, and refine programming for continuous improvement.

  • Represent The Gathering Spot with professionalism and authenticity at all events.

     

    Ideal Candidate

  • A natural curator with a pulse on culture, community, and meaningful experiences.

  • Skilled in event production, creative programming, or community storytelling.

  • Strong communicator with the ability to pitch ideas clearly and compellingly.

  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to juggle multiple events simultaneously.

  • Thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys collaborative work.
