The Greenlight Community Coordinator is a highly visible, multidisciplinary role that sits at the intersection of sales enablement, public education, customer experience, and facility stewardship for both Greenlight Community Broadband and Gig East. This individual serves as a trusted guide for residents, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and community partners- helping them understand, adopt, and fully leverage Greenlight services and Gig East resources.
This role drives Greenlight sales through an education-first approach. The Greenlight Community Coordinator serves as a guide to residents interested in Greenlight services by spotlighting the value of Greenlight membership with technology demonstrations and community-curated outreach. This position will be Greenlight's primary representative when organizing and supporting digital skills training programs (whether owned by Greenlight or partner organizations), acting as both educator and relationship-builder, while also serving as a cornerstone presence at the Gig East Exchange, supporting daily operations, programming, Pearson Vue testing, and the overall member and visitor experience.
Success in this role requires a rare blend of people-first sales instincts, instructional confidence, operational reliability, and hospitality-driven customer service.

  • Identify customer needs and connect them to appropriate Greenlight services, programs, or referrals.

  • Serve as a first point of contact at the Gig East Exchange, welcoming guests and setting the tone for the facility experience.
  • Address questions, concerns, and issues with professionalism, empathy, and follow-through.
  • Act as a liaison between customers, vendors, staff, and community partners.
Community Outreach & Partnerships
  • Represent Greenlight and Gig East at community events, meetings, and partner locations.
  • Build and maintain relationships with local organizations, schools, nonprofits, and small businesses.
  • Identify opportunities to expand educational programming and community impact.
Guidelines
  • Guidelines include city, department, and Council policies and procedures, and city codes and ordinances. These guidelines are generally clear and specific, but may require some judgment, selection and interpretation in application.
