Position Purpose

Under the direction of the Formula Hybrid + Electric Program Director, the Program Coordinator provides support for the planning and execution of the annual competition, including but not limited to assisting in the planning and management of the event, maintaining and building sponsor relationships, soliciting and managing event volunteers, and handling promotional activities.
Interested candidates will be able to thrive in a multi-faceted position. The varied responsibilities of this position evolve during the year starting with marketing of the competition to potential sponsors and teams through social media and direct outreach. Building relationships with likely sponsors by communicating the competition benefits, securing sponsor commitments, preparing invoices, and tracking payments are key activities. The successful applicant will manage the information flow to registered teams and coordinate team-submitted papers and documents with volunteer reviewers and judges. Planning for the week-long competition is a year-round activity which includes the management of suppliers and caterers and the logistics of moving the required equipment to the track and back again. Coordination of the volunteer responsibilities during the year and during the competition is a key aspect of the position.
