Mt Buller Race Club is looking for a new Head Snowboard Coach.

Mount Buller Race Club (MBRC) was established in 1987 and has become one of Australia’s most successful Alpine and Snowboard race clubs producing many athletes who have competed on the World Cup and Olympic stage. Rich in history, the club has grown significantly over the years, providing dedicated programs for young athletes at Mt Buller, Victoria, Australia. With a membership base of approximately 200 athletes and an established brand amongst the Australian alpine ski and snowboard community, MBRC is looking to take the next step in its journey through a Club restructure.

This is a full-time seasonal role for the Mt Buller season, and a part-time role out throughout the balance of the year. The successful applicant will be involved in the guidance of a Northern Hemisphere training program for performance athletes and will assist the club GM in developing a performance framework for the club.

The role will have several key areas of responsibilities including but not limited to;

MBRC Focus

• Work closely with the Club GM as part of the leadership team including the Head Alpine Development Coach and Head Alpine Performance Coach to deliver a world class performance program.
• Work closely with the Club GM to deliver strategic outcomes for the club with a focus on developing the Snowboard program and membership base.

Athlete Focus

• Develop and manage the MBRC snowboard program including race calendar and course setting for club and Snow Australia races at Mt Buller.
• Assist athletes with developing and maintaining their Individual Performance Plans. 
• Communicate relating to athlete pathways and nominate athletes to pathway programs as appropriate.

Coach Focus

• Lead, manage and assist in the recruitment of the snowboard coaching staff.
• Set coaching objectives and timetable for the Mt Buller season.
• Mid and post season review of Snowboard coaches/instructors identifying areas for program improvement.

Currently, this role would oversee a program on snow across the Mt Buller season, incorporating pre & post season add-on training opportunities beyond our current seasonal program (est 15 weeks Jun - Sep). A Part-time role would be developed for this role in consultation with the successful applicant, which will enable the design and management of year-round IPPs (Individual Performance Plans) for all performance athletes at the club.
