As a Driver at Jacob's Pillow, you’ll play a key role in providing transportation for artists, staff, and guests to and from nearby cities (including Boston and NYC), as well as airports, train stations, and bus stops. You’ll also assist with picking up and delivering supplies from local vendors. Reporting to the Public Programs Coordinator, you will collaborate with the Programming Team for scheduling and logistics. This is a year-round driving position requiring flexibility with hours.
