Job Description

Join the Team at the Vancouver Rowing Club!

Founded in 1886, the

Vancouver Rowing Club (VRC)

is proud to be the city's oldest amateur athletics club. With over a century of history, our members are actively engaged in

Rowing, Rugby, Field Hockey, and Yachting

. Nestled in the heart of

Stanley Park with stunning Coal Harbour views

, our heritage clubhouse and marina offer a one-of-a-kind setting for sports, community, and social connection.

We are now looking for an

What You'll Do

As the Office Administrator, you'll keep our clubhouse running smoothly and ensure every interaction--whether with members, guests, or staff--reflects the warm and professional standard the VRC is known for. Your day-to-day will include:

Being the

first point of contact

for members, guests, and clients--answering questions, offering advice, and helping everyone feel at home. Handling phone, email, and in-person inquiries with professionalism and efficiency. Managing

club access systems

, merchandise sales, payments, and inventories. Keeping our records and filing systems (both digital and paper) organized and accurate. Staying on top of communications to ensure staff are up-to-date on policies, events, and club operations. Maintaining a

tidy, professional front office space

that reflects the pride we take in our club. Jumping in with other administrative tasks as needed--because at the VRC, teamwork makes it all work!

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a confident, outgoing, and detail-oriented individual who thrives in a fast-paced, people-focused environment. Ideally, you'll bring:

3-5 years of administrative experience

(experience in a private club or hospitality setting is a big plus). Strong computer skills, especially with

Office 365

(Jonas Club Management software experience is a bonus). Excellent interpersonal and communication skills--both written and verbal. Sharp judgment, strong organizational skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities. A self-starter attitude with flexibility and enthusiasm. Must be available to work weekends.
