• 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.

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

• 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.
