Job description

Assistant Director of Athletic Performance

Design and deliver year-round athletic performance programmes for assigned NCAA Division I sports, developing the physical qualities required for collegiate competition. The post also supports weight-room operations, works with athletic training staff and contributes to the broader Athletic Performance department.

This role aligns with IQF Level 6 because it independently develops customised year-round athletic performance programmes for assigned NCAA Division I teams, incorporating strength, speed, agility, plyometrics, conditioning, mobility and athlete health considerations. It requires a bachelor's degree, at least two years' full-time Athletic Performance/S&C experience and Level 6 certification.

Salary and Role Alignment

Amber. The role appropriately requires degree-level education, professional S&C certification and relevant experience, but USD $51,261 to $55,000 is relatively modest for an autonomous NCAA Division I Level 6 practitioner responsible for year-round programming across assigned varsity teams.

This role has been independently classified by IUSCA against the International Qualification Framework (IQF) Level Descriptors according to its required autonomy, complexity, professional responsibility, leadership and scope of practice.
