• Coordinate daily with the Nordic Rental Lead so program and lesson guests are fitted and ready before scheduled start times.
• Direct Unit Leads and Instructors on operating days, including check-in, deployment, real-time guidance, and end-of-day wrap-up.

Qualifications

• Excellent communication skills across written, verbal, and electronic channels, including email, Teams, and Flaik, with clear and timely updates to staff, guests, and resort leadership.
• Excellent project management skills, with working knowledge of Microsoft Planner, Lists, and SharePoint, and familiarity with tools such as Asana, Microsoft Project, or Smartsheet, and a record of carrying projects from plan to completion on schedule.
• Ability to take a defined progression framework and turn it into weekly session plans across multiple ability groups and age bands.
• Two or more seasons in ski school, outdoor education, or youth program delivery, including at least one season in a supervisory or management capacity.
• Ability to ski both classic and skate technique at an intermediate level or better. PSIA Level 2 or above preferred.
