Apply for Customer Service Coordinator (FT)

Rainbow Dome’s mission is to steward our collective joy. Based in Denver, Rainbow Dome is a queer-centric hub that gathers people across differences to experience joy-in-motion through art and activities. We are a community venue for roller skating, entertainment, and art. Our vision is a more playful world that values accountability and connectedness.

Rainbow Dome is seeking a full-time (32 hours/week) Customer Service Coordinator (CSC) to help lead our day-to-day programming operations and facility needs at Rainbow Dome's roller skating rink and arts venue. This role holds the same tasks and responsibilities as the Customer Service Associate (CSA) position and has additional responsibilities, such as shift supervision and Manager on Duty (MOD) responsibilities, ensuring every shift has strong, values-aligned leadership on the floor.

The ideal candidate will have strong leadership and customer service experience. Additionally, they will have a passion for cultivating spaces that are joyful and foster belonging for diverse audiences, particularly people who identify as Queer; People of the Global Majority; disabled and neurodivergent; and artists and creatives. They will be committed to Rainbow Dome's culturally sensitive customer service policies, such as anti-racist practices, gender-affirming hospitality and de-escalation techniques, and will be ready to model and lead that commitment for other staff. They will understand the importance of problem-solving, communicating consistently and proactively, and leading a team through Rainbow Dome's inevitable shifts as the business evolves. Evening and weekend availability are required.

Who We Are

Rainbow Dome is an artist‑led, queer‑centric hub that gathers people across differences to experience joy‑in‑motion through art and activities, with rollerskating being our foundational activity for connection. Rainbow Dome’s audience shares experiences of intersectionality and marginalization within the dominant culture of the US, and includes people who identify as Queer; Black, Brown, & Indigenous; disabled and neurodivergent; and artists and creatives. Rainbow Dome formed out of a need for a social space for marginalized communities that centers joy and play as catalysts for authentic social connection. Rainbow Dome’s programming is threefold:

• Art of Gathering: Produce human‑centered events to invite our audience to experience joy‑in‑motion. One of our primary activities is roller skating.
• Creative World Building: Fabricate artwork to elevate our audience’s experience of joy and support imagination and new possibilities
• Platforms for Artists & Creatives: Build a movement with artists and community members to foster shared abundance of resources

Rainbow Dome is a start‑up LLC that is undergoing a major transition in 2026, going from producing pop‑up events in the spring to opening our permanent roller rink this fall. Our organizational structure is sociocratic and uses consent‑based decision‑making, requiring a high level of self‑management. Learn more about sociocracy here: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy/ 

At this stage of the company, we are working towards becoming financially sustainable and profitable by 2027. We center in‑person culture through (1) our events as hosts for our audience; (2) fabrication of artwork in our studio; and (3) collaboration across our team.
