Position Overview:
This is an opportunity to contribute to a dynamic provincial sport organization and play a key role supporting programs that impact athletes and communities across British Columbia.
We recently completed a rebrand and are looking for someone who is genuinely excited by document work. If you find real satisfaction in a perfectly formatted template, a clean spreadsheet, or a newsletter that looks exactly right, this role was built for you.
The Administrative Assistant is the document and brand backbone of BC Athletics, a role built for someone who is excited by formatting, consistency, and precision. We recently rebranded, and we need someone who will champion that identity across every document we produce.
Reporting to the Operations Manager, this role supports the CEO, Board of Directors, and program areas including Track & Field, Road & Trail Running, Officials, and Sport Development. The Administrative Assistant acts as a shared resource across the organization, ensuring consistent, professional communication and documentation.
Position Responsibilities:
Document and Brand Ownership (Core Focus)
- Reformat legacy BC Athletics documents to align with the new brand: fonts, colours, layout, and voice
- Build and maintain a library of polished, reusable templates across all program areas
- Ensure consistency in formatting, branding, and version control across all materials
- Coordinate, draft, and format BC Athletics newsletters, announcements, and reports

- Complete annual inventory counts and assist with organizing financial information for the audit
- Assist with invoicing for programs and teams

Membership Database Management and Member Compliance

- Provide member support and troubleshooting under the direction of the Operations Manager
Program and Event Support
- Assist staff with event preparation and planning
- Support coordination of program delivery and team logistics across Track & Field and Road & Trail Running
Experience and Beneficial Skills:
- You are lit up by document work: formatting, consistency, and precision are not tasks you tolerate between the "real" work; they are what you do best.
- You will take ownership of reformatting legacy materials to align with our new brand standards.
- You are strong with Excel beyond the basics, comfortable with formulas, pivot tables, and data organization. You take pride in spreadsheets that are as clean as they are functional.
- You bring administrative or office support experience and can contribute effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- You are skilled at managing multiple priorities and requests across a wide range of contacts.
- You have strong writing and copy-editing skills.
- You are service-oriented, responsive, and proactive in resolving questions and issues.

- You work effectively both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
- You are willing to complete CAC Safe Sport Training and a Criminal Record Check including a Vulnerable Sector Check.
Your application should include:
