CAREERS AT NEIGHBOURGOOD
COMMUNITY & PARTNERSHIPS COORDINATOR
Start Date: TBC
Location: Cape Town
Salary: Market Related
Job Type: Permanent
WHO WE ARE
Neighbourgood brings good to neighbourhoods. We run living spaces, aparthotels & hotels stays from 1 night to a few months at a time and work clubs across Cape Town, and we believe the magic happens when strangers become friends over a pizza, a games night, or a party on the rooftop.
THE ROLE
You're the human who turns a building into a community.
Every day, you'll bring together our work club members, hotel guests, long-stay residents, and friends of Neighbourgood through events that actually feel fun, not corporate. Think braais, sip and paints, movie nights, and whatever cool idea you dream up next. You'll also be out there building partnerships with local brands to co-host events that make our community programming even better.
If you love people, thrive on a fast pace, and want a job where no two days look the same - this is it.
WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO
Run the Events:
Plan a mix of regular weekly/monthly events and standout one-off experiences
Own events from start to finish - setup, hosting, pack-down
Show up. You'll be at most events, not just planning them from a desk
Build the Vibe
Get to know our members and guests - be a familiar, friendly face across our buildings
Run our community WhatsApp groups, keeping people in the loop on what's coming up
Welcome new people into the fold and keep regulars coming back
Find Cool Partners
Scout and build relationships with local brands for event collabs
Bring fresh ideas and partners to the table that make our events and experiences better
Tell the Story
Capture photos and video at every event
Create content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn that actually captures what Neighbourgood feels like
Keep It Sharp
Track a simple events budget and report on it monthly
Talk to location managers and attendees to find out what's working (and what's not)
Use that feedback to keep improving
Champion Our Culture
Help build team morale through internal initiatives
Co-lead our team events and activations across head office and properties
WHAT YOU’RE LIKE
A natural connector - people remember you after one conversation
A social butterfly - you thrive on social events and get energy from interacting with people
Organised enough to juggle five events at once without dropping the ball
Comfortable being the face of a brand, in person and online
Creative - you don't wait to be told what the next event should be
Adaptable - plans change, and you roll with it
A self-starter who doesn't need hand-holding
NICE-TO-HAVES
A degree or diploma (we care more about the person and their experience than a degree)
Experience in events, hospitality, marketing, or community roles
An eye for content, copywriting, photography, videography, or design
Comfortable with Google Workspace, Canva, WhatsApp, Instagram & TikTok
Neighbourgood is growing fast, which means real responsibility from day one. If you're someone who brings the fun and gets things done - we want to meet you.
