Coordinator of Communications and Outreach

Recreation & Wellbeing

Recreation & Wellbeing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is searching for a creative, innovative, and detail-oriented individual to join our marketing and communications team. With our recent rebranding behind us, we’ve set our sights on opening the Nicholas Recreation Center, a highly-anticipated $87.5M state-of-the-art facility and the first building project of a $236M Master Plan. At the same time, we’ve started to design our second building project of the Plan, a $110M replacement of the current Gymnasium – Natatorium.

But we’re more than a building. We’re building a movement. And we’re looking for go-getting, limit-pushing, movement-loving people to join us. Starting on Day One, your experiences, ideas, and strengths will be valued and leveraged to help us deliver mission-driven results.
