Position: SRA is seeking a highly motivated and highly organized individual with strong communication skills to join our team as a Regatta Director and Community Liaison. The ideal candidate will have a passion for building community and a proven track record in event management. Scope of Position: This is a unique opportunity to lead one of the country's most popular regatta venues. With the 3 largest regattas combining to field over 4,000 boats and 20,000 participants, these regattas are not only a staple of much of the Northeast rowing community, they also represent a significant impact on the local economy. Key Responsibilities: As the Regatta Director you will be responsible for all aspects of regattas hosted by Saratoga Rowing on Fish Creek.

Possible activities include club wide events or traditions, volunteer appreciation events, local rowing community events, and developing community partnerships. In both these roles it is expected that an annual calendar will be maintained both outward facing to all relevant parties and inward facing to the staff, members, and volunteers. Due to the intensity of the spring and fall regatta seasons, it will be imperative to be able to schedule and work with long term goals and complete projects on a timely schedule vs an urgent schedule. Compensation and Expectations: This is a full time exempt position with benefits including paid time off, health insurance contributions, and matching retirement contributions. Annual Salary $60,000- $75,000, including potential for incentive based compensation. 80% of work is expected to be completed on site in regular working hours.

The candidate will be expected to manage a small group of temporary assistants as well as a large group of volunteers.
