EMPLOYMENT
Executive Director
at George pocock rowing Foundation
The George Pocock Rowing Foundation (GPRF), is looking for its next dynamic Executive Director. We are an organization that believes rowing transforms lives. Our mission is to bring together communities and boathouses to get more kids on the water; kids who reflect the full diversity of their communities; and to accomplish both those goals with a values-based approach inspired by the legacy of George Pocock (Stan and Lucy Pocock too. Give all three a Google). We’re not looking for incremental change. You’ll be leading a revolution. Last year, our programs served over 22,000 youth in the Northwest and nationwide. In 2020, that will grow substantially. Our strategic plan calls for us to double our impact within 3-5 years. That will take a lot of smart and hard work, but it should also be fun and rewarding. Admittedly we’re biased, but we aspire for this to be the best job in rowing (and youth sports in general).

-
Mission Driven Leadership
-
Team Leadership
-
Partner, Stakeholder & Supporter Engagement
-
Growth Mindset
-
Financial Acumen
-
