Team Lead, Arts, Grants & Events

Beaumont is powered by people who are technically proficient, passionate about what they do, and motivated to deliver superior, tangible results to our community. We live our core values:

• CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Be relentlessly curious and ask the questions others are afraid to ask. Challenge conventional thinking with an inquisitive outlook. Approach problems with a yes mindset. Be unafraid to make mistakes, learn, then adapt.
• MAKE A DIFFERENCE, WITH HEART AND MIND! Bring passion and joy to your work, your teammates and the community. Work towards effective solutions based on evidence and data, then measure success. Step up, make decisions and take responsibility.
• WORK FOR EACH OTHER! Celebrate individual and collective successes as wins for the team. Allow vulnerability and pick up the ball when others can’t carry it any longer. Let diverse ideas and experience build better outcomes, then speak with one voice when a decision is made. Accept feedback with humility and approach healthy conflict as an opportunity to listen and understand.
