The Hermitage Club at Haystack Mountain, a premier private, member-owned ski resort in Vermont’s Green Mountains, is seeking an energetic, polished, and highly creative Activities & Events Manager to help bring the Club experience to life.
This is a unique opportunity for a hospitality professional who can blend the spirit of a great cruise director, the enthusiasm of a seasoned camp counselor, and the polish expected in a private club environment. The ideal candidate is warm, organized, imaginative, and comfortable creating memorable experiences for members and guests both on and off the slopes.
About the Role
The Activities & Events Manager will help plan, promote, coordinate, and execute a vibrant calendar of Club events, social activities, family programming, outdoor experiences, and seasonal member gatherings. This role works closely with Operations, Member Services, Food & Beverage, Communications, Facilities, Mountain Operations, and other Club teams to ensure activities are well planned, well communicated, and delivered with warmth, energy, and attention to detail.
This position is ideal for someone who loves creating experiences, engaging people of all ages, and turning simple moments into lasting memories.

Help create and manage a year-round calendar of member events, activities, family programs, and seasonal experiences.

Bring fresh, creative ideas to Club programming, including winter activities, après-ski experiences, family events, children’s activities, outdoor adventures, social gatherings, and off-season programming.
