Bring Extraordinary Experiences to Life
Luxury Weddings • Events • Seasonal Installations
Cory Christopher Design specializes in luxury weddings, corporate events, seasonal installations, interactive activations and bespoke floral experiences throughout Alberta, B.C. and beyond.
From intimate celebrations to large-scale immersive environments, our team works tirelessly to bring our clients’ dreams to life with sophisticated style, and every project is thoughtfully designed, meticulously planned, and flawlessly executed.
We’re always looking to collaborate with experienced creative professionals who take pride in their craft, appreciate working with like-minded professionals, and are energized by creating exceptional work. If you value creativity, professionalism, attention to detail, and continually strive for excellence, you’ll feel right at home within our team.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an experienced Project Lead who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys leading people, and takes pride in delivering exceptional work.
As a Project Lead, you will oversee the successful execution of a wide variety of projects, including luxury weddings, corporate events, seasonal installations, retail activations, hospitality projects, and bespoke floral and design environments. No two days are the same. One week you may be transforming a mountain venue for a luxury wedding, the next leading the installation of a large-scale Christmas display or creating an immersive corporate experience.
This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for guiding projects from production through completion, leading installation teams, coordinating client communication, and ensuring every project is executed to the exceptional standard our clients have come to expect.
Working closely with our Design, Floral, and Production teams, you’ll lead projects from pre-production through installation and teardown. You’ll coordinate logistics, communicate with clients and vendors, lead installation crews, solve challenges as they arise, and ensure every project reflects the quality, creativity, and attention to detail that defines Cory Christopher Design.
If you’re passionate about craftsmanship, organization, creative problem-solving, and leading by example, we’d love to hear from you.
