Operations Coordinator Sports Jobs in Reston, VA

ROLE SUMMARY

The Sport Operations Coordinator is a part-time, cross-trained front office generalist hired to address front office capacity needs. Each Coordinator is assigned eight of SYC's sixteen programs and serves as the primary point of contact for all front office matters—including registration, scheduling, PlayMetrics administration, coach/referee support, and first-line financial administration.

The two Coordinators work as a single functional team, covering all aspects of front office operations, cross-covering for one another, and sharing club-wide duties as assigned. This role is intentionally generalist: each Coordinator owns the full front office relationship for their assigned programs, building flexible, cross-trained capacity while the club evaluates longer-term staffing needs.

• Consistency Across Programs: Apply front office policies consistently across all assigned programs in line with the club's "one club, equitable support" principle.
