About The Position

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) is a global nonprofit research and education organization with over 48,000 members dedicated to shaping the future of the built environment. ULI Utah is the local district council serving approximately 450 members in Utah, delivering the Institute’s mission through education, networking, and community engagement. ULI Utah organizes around 30 programs annually, including three signature events, a Technical Assistance Panel (TAP), an engaged Leaders group with a mentorship program, a Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI), and UrbanPlan delivered in local high schools. This role provides essential marketing, events, and operational support to the Executive Director of ULI Utah within a small, fully remote team. It requires a hands-on approach to marketing and communications, event logistics coordination, and support for volunteer committees. The Associate will be a primary point of contact for members and partners, requiring a friendly, professional, and well-informed demeanor. While significant training is provided, making it a potential first full-time role, genuine initiative and a willingness to learn quickly are crucial. The position requires attendance at various events and programs, some of which occur in the evenings or on weekends, along with occasional regional travel.
