Requirements

Who You Are

You are the kind of professional who understands that administrative excellence is the foundation of a high-performing organization. You take pride in being the steady, reliable presence that others trust, and you thrive in a role where organization, professionalism, and service matter every day.

To be successful in this role, you bring:

Completion of an Office or Business Administration diploma (or equivalent experience preferred)
1–2 years of experience in an office environment performing administrative duties. Please note, this is an entry level role.
Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, office technology, printers, and multi-line phone systems

Beyond experience, your mindset sets you apart.

You:

Have a genuine passion for customer service and consistently strive to deliver a “WOW” experience
Understand and respect the Administrator’s role as a key touchpoint for all Club interactions — you are approachable, trustworthy, and reliable
Take a solution-focused, methodical approach to challenges and proactively seek out the information you need
Possess exceptional organizational skills and can confidently multi-task in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision
Anticipate needs before they arise, ensuring seamless office operations and maximum efficiency

Promote a culture of trust, integrity, and open communication while fostering positive team relationships
Maintain an upbeat, positive demeanor while staying polished and professional
Show a willingness to continuously learn, grow, and improve processes
Bring passion and drive to everything you do

This role also requires flexibility, including the ability to work irregular business hours for events and availability to work all home game days.

Most importantly, you understand that this position is more than administrative support — it is about setting the tone for the entire office and representing Rider Nation with pride.
