The Edmonton Eskimos are looking for a full-time Game Operations/Events Coordinator.

In a nut shell, you would oversee all logistics of hosting a live game and wowing fans in stadium, including halftime, facility booking, load in/load out and adhering to the league’s game operations manual – the variables that happen before, after and between the whistles. As the master of events, you would also take the lead on the logistics of community and team events such as Fan Day and the Annual Eskimos Women’s Dinner.

You’ve proven you can manage the intersection of sports and entertainment with your eagle eye for details. You’re probably the type to analyze the Grammys or Oscars technical queuing. A proven team player, you like working with people and they like working with you. You’ve led large groups to pull off live events with razzle and dazzle.

Pass catching and tackling ability is not required. The Eskimos are an equal opportunity employer – that includes the uncoordinated.

Where you shine
you live for live event management
working evenings and weekends regularly is AOK
You think on your feet without breaking a sweat
you’re the most organized person you know
you communicate clearly — whether it’s written or spoken, people know what you mean

You have
post-secondary education in sports management, marketing or event management. — preferably a bachelor’s degree
3+ years of event, promotions, marketing, sports or entertainment experience
proven you can foster a positive and collaborative team
solid project management experience
proficiency in Microsoft applications
experience with game management systems (TSE Game Time ScriptPro) is an asset
