Responsibilities

Related Ross is expanding its presence in Boca Raton, bringing its track record of building vibrant, mixed-use destinations to one of South Florida's most dynamic markets.

Position Summary

The Community and Events Manager is responsible for building and executing a year-round program of events, activations, and community engagement initiatives for Related Ross assets in Boca Raton. This role acts as the primary connector between property management, tenants, residents, retail partners, and outside vendors — creating an active, welcoming destination culture that supports leasing, retention, and the broader placemaking vision for the site.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, plan, and execute a recurring calendar of campus events, collaborating across corporate teams including Related Life, Marketing, Communications, Related Ross Foundation and others. Events include tenant appreciation events, wellness programming, seasonal festivals, farmers markets, concerts, and networking mixers.

• Manage event logistics end-to-end: budgeting, vendor and venue coordination, permitting, staffing, setup/breakdown, and day-of execution.
• Build and maintain relationships with local businesses, artists, food and beverage vendors, nonprofits, and Boca Raton community organizations to bring outside partners onto campus. Collaborate with the Related Ross Foundation to ensure community engagement initiatives support aligned charitable giving and Foundation goals in the community.
• Develop and manage the community and events budget; track spend against plan and report on ROI and attendance metrics.
• Partner with marketing to promote events across email, social media, signage, and the campus app or website; help develop campus-branded collateral and messaging.
• Coordinate with property operations, security, and engineering teams to ensure events run safely and don't disrupt daily campus operations.
• Support leasing and marketing teams by hosting prospective tenant and resident tours, broker events, and grand-opening activations.
• Manage relationships with outside event vendors and negotiate contracts (catering, AV, entertainment, rentals) within approved budget.
• Track industry trends in placemaking, hospitality, and mixed-use community programming, bringing fresh ideas to keep the campus calendar distinctive.
• Maintain a library of post-event recaps, photography, and attendance data to inform future programming decisions.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; comfortable representing the brand with tenants, residents, executives, and outside partners.
• Working knowledge of event budgeting, contract negotiation, and vendor management.
