As the assistant director of intramurals and recreation, you will report to the director of university recreation and oversee a diverse program that encourages student engagement and wellbeing through organized, inclusive, and innovative recreational activities. You will plan quarterly and bi-weekly intramural leagues, tournaments, and special events. Since not all programs are held in university-owned facilities, you will identify, secure, and build positive relationships with off-campus venues and community partners. You will also coordinate facility usage to ensure all equipment is maintained, cleaned, and organized; handle setup and takedown of spaces; and work with external facility managers to ensure smooth program operations off-site. Additionally, you will make sure that all programs are delivered with a strong focus on safety, customer service, and community building.

Additionally, you will provide data-driven recommendations to enhance and expand programs in line with student interests and national recreation trends.
