    Guest Experience Coordinator

    Overview

    Arthur Blank, chairman of the Blank Family Foundation and owner of Mountain Sky Guest Ranch, Paradise Valley Ranch and The Ranch at Dome Mountain near Emigrant, Montana, opened West Creek Ranch in 2018 as a unique convening space for nonprofit and philanthropic organizations. At West Creek, the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation provides nonprofit partners with an opportunity to connect, renew and inspire while exploring crucial issues that are aligned with the foundation’s priorities.    

    Located in Montana’s Paradise Valley, about 25 miles north of Yellowstone National Park, the 6,700-acre West Creek Ranch features spectacular scenery one mile above sea level. West Creek is a one-of-a-kind facility featuring comfortable meeting spaces and rooms, wi-fi and gourmet dining combined with unplugged high-country activities. West Creek offers 5-star service and amenities to ensure that every guest’s needs are met as they embark on a powerful personal and professional experience at the ranch.

    West Creek is in big sky country, and we provide partners with an opportunity to engage in big sky thinking. The combination of extraordinary scenery, guided adventure and intentional reflection provide a unique transformational environment for leadership development, innovation labs, strategic planning, executive education, hands-on workshops, and discussion or planning about how to influence the issues that occupy our country and communities. 

    The West Creek experience is rooted in Arthur Blank’s personal recognition that extended immersion in the world’s most inspiring spaces fosters learning, creativity and self-renewal. We call our approach the 50/50 model to signify that our guests spend half their time inside working on important issues, and half their time outside exploring their ideas through experiences in nature that support their goals. Each year the Blank Family Foundation identifies select organizations to host gatherings that convene colleagues, peer organizations or coalition partners to capitalize on this model and advance the public good.

    West Creek Ranch seeks a Guest Experience Coordinator to support the 50% of the time our guests spend in Ranch experiences – horseback riding, hiking, yoga, fly fishing, etc. – and facilitating the connection between those experiences and the goals of the group each week. Deepening relationships and teamwork, creating a risk-taking culture, generating 100 new ideas to solve a sticky problem, bringing thought leaders together to strategize about complex issues and much more — West Creek has the experiences and activities to enrich each group’s goals with deeper meaning and we are looking for a Guest Experience Coordinator to ensure that the 50% of the time each group spends in Ranch experiences is as meaningful as the 50% of time spent indoors in meetings.   

    We believe that when Ranch experiences are combined with daily intentions and opportunities for reflection that positive change and impact occur. The GEC will facilitate the onsite planning of daily activities for each group so that intention and reflection are at the core of the experiences and so that problem solving, team development, self-discovery, collaboration and communication are rooted in the guest experiences.

    Horse Program

    Horse Program

    Wrangler

    $2,625.00 / month

    West Creek Ranch is the perfect job for a wrangler, or experienced rider, who loves the guest ranch lifestyle but is looking for more variety in their job.  The ideal wrangler candidate will demonstrate both excellent customer service and strong horsemanship skills.  Wranglers will lead trail-rides on over 6000 acres of the ranch

    Typically, wranglers at West Creek lead only two or three trail-rides each week.  These trail-rides are two-hours long and primarily walk-only.  Wranglers spend time throughout the workweek exercising and training guest horses to keep them happy, healthy, and safe.  Other horse-related tasks include caring for a herd of +/- 40 head, gathering/turning out on horseback, training green horses, and basic veterinary care.

    All activities are purpose driven with intention and reflection time. Wranglers will subtilty initiate conversations with guests to reflect on their experiences based on each group's goals and intentions.

    In addition to the wrangling duties at West Creek Ranch, wranglers will rotate through a schedule of shifts at our sister ranch, Mountain Sky.

    These shifts will vary week to week based on a rotating schedule amongst the team. Wranglers may be at Mountain Sky 1-4 days a week. Mountain Sky wangling duties will be like those at West Creek but on a larger scale. These duties include assisting in the loading and unloading process of guests and their horses, leading trail-rides (walk, trot, and lope rides for families of various ages), gathering/turning out a heard of +/- 100 head out on horseback, and basic veterinary care. Wranglers will lead rides on 17,000 private acres, in addition to the neighboring Gallatin National Forest. Trail rides aren’t your typical nose-to-tail walking dude rides; Mountain Sky guests stay for a week at a time, and they come to ride.

    Other wrangler responsibilities include:

    • Providing fly-fishing lessons every week.
    • Teaching gun safety and skeet shooting instruction
    • Teaching archery safety and recurve and light compound bow instruction 
    • Driving guests to and from the local airport weekly (these hours will vary)
    • Washing transportation vehicles (1 to 2 hrs./wk.)
    • Dishwashing (one 4-hour shift/month)
    • Fence maintenance (as needed)
    • Trail maintenance (as needed)

    Workdays are Monday through Friday, and average around 45-50 hours/week. The five-person wrangler team works a rotating weekend chore schedule: feeding and doctoring. Wranglers work just one weekend/month.

    Individuals with knowledge of basic veterinary care and horseshoeing skills are encouraged to apply. Ability to operate skid steers and tractors is a plus.  The ability to remain flexible to a changing schedule is important while working at West Creek Ranch.

    A riding video will be required from applicants not able to join us for a riding interview, but it is not necessary to submit the video with your initial application.

    While West Creek Ranch provides its wranglers with ranch horses to ride, wranglers have the option to bring one personal horse. The ranch does not allow outside dogs, cats or other pets.
