Assistant Technical Director

Independent Contractor Position 

​

Job Overview

Surrey United SC is looking to expand its technical staff and the program development at the club. This ATD role will be a support role to the Club’s Technical Director acting in a senior leadership capacity within the Club’s youth soccer programming on a year-round basis. This role will assist the Technical Director with all major technical items and delivery, including academy, club evaluations, team lesson plans, coach development and support. This position requires general daytime accessibility and full on- field availability during evening and weekend hours.

 

Experience & Qualifications

The strongest candidates for this position will have the following experience and qualifications:

 

• Ability to work in a team

• Ability to work independently with limited oversight

• Strong leadership and management skills

• Strong organizational skills

• Versatility and creativity

• Intermediate Microsoft and general computer skills

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in a similar role or other key staff position within a large soccer organization

• Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders certification

• Respect in Sport for the Workplace certification

 

Remuneration:

There should be an expectation of high volume times throughout the course of the year and a 40 hour work week is not reflective of a week-over-week commitment, but rather, an average over the course of a calendar year. This is a leadership role and as such, the expectation to be engaged in club activities and responsibilities as part of the leadership team should be embraced and understood as an underlying, general expectation of the role. 

 

Volunteerism and Not for Profit Organization:

Surrey United SC is a not for profit organization and while we attempt to accurately describe all responsibilities of the individual roles and responsibilities required of SUSC Contractor positions, there is always a community and volunteer spirit that must be understood as we exist to support a community, both the community of Cloverdale, Surrey, BC and the greater soccer community. There are always additional tasks and opportunities in other areas of the organization for which remuneration is not provided and we encourage all applicants to consider lending their time and talents in supporting the club’s vision of being more than a soccer club outside of the position they hold under contract. 

 

Additional Applicant Information:

Surrey United Soccer Club is a safe, inclusive and diverse soccer club. We strongly encourage you to apply if you are from a marginalized or underrepresented group. Some candidates may see a long list of job requirements and feel discouraged because they don’t match every single bullet point – we encourage you to please apply anyway. If you believe this is a role that you’ll be excited to participate in every day, and want to be a part of the club culture we have established over our 55 year history, please apply. We want to meet you!
