Facility and Leagues Coordinator

This is an exciting full-time career opportunity. The ESSC is Edmonton’s largest provider of adult recreational sports leagues, tournaments and events. The Facility and Leagues Coordinator (FLC) will have a significant impact on our player’s experience and will play an essential role in ensuring our leagues run smoothly each night. This position will be challenging and require you to problem solve and think on your feet, but will also be very rewarding. The three primary areas of focus will be:

Staff Testimonial & ESSC Culture

Overview:
The SSC culture (Edmonton and Calgary offices), is a performance-oriented environment. We place a strong emphasis on hiring exceptional people and giving them all of the support that they need to excel in their roles. New staff are given strong guidance and nurturance but are encouraged to gain freedom through commitment and results. Weekly goal setting meetings with their manager helps each staff member to create and execute a plan for success. Ongoing skill development sessions aid in increasing all employee's effectiveness in their roles. We also like to have fun: frequent staff outings, our innovations program, out of town trips to Banff, Sylvan Lake, Calgary, etc. are a few examples of our work hard, play hard mentality.

A note from Calgary's Current Facility and Leagues Coordinator (Kandice):
Being a part of the SSC is such an amazing experience. I have been lucky enough to hold three different positions here at the Club but my current role as the Facility & Leagues Coordinator has been the most rewarding. Getting to work in a fun, but hard-working, environment with sports as our focus is a dream opportunity.

Understanding the back end of how to run the leagues and provide support in scheduling and facility management is very interesting. There are a lot of factors involved and there are many opportunities to continuously grow and learn. There are constant challenges through working on special projects and assisting management with their support which makes me feel like I am able to make a real difference for our players!

Along with the benefits above as well as the amazing perks available to us, below are a few of my favourite aspects of the FLC role:

  • Ensuring schedule accuracy through rental amendments and communicating changes with players
  • Working on facility related projects to ensure we are delivering the best product to our teams
  • Assisting the MLO with finding/acquiring new facilities

If you have a passion for sports, like to work hard, and like a challenge; working for the SSC as the new FLC will be a great fit for you!
