Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) is pleased to announce the launch of its recruitment process for a new Executive Director to lead the organization into its next chapter.

As the National Sport Organization for competitive climbing in Canada, CEC plays a central role in developing and promoting the sport, supporting athletes and national teams, organizing national competitions, and collaborating with provincial and territorial partners to strengthen the Canadian climbing community.

The successful candidate will oversee key areas, including:

  • Stakeholder engagement: Building strong relationships with provincial and territorial organizations, athletes, coaches, officials, government partners, and the broader climbing community.

_____________________________________________________________

Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) est heureux d’annoncer le lancement du processus de recrutement de sa prochaine direction générale, qui aura pour mandat de guider l’organisation vers une nouvelle étape de son développement.

À titre d’organisme national de sport responsable de l’escalade de compétition au Canada, CEC joue un rôle central dans le développement et la promotion du sport, le soutien aux athlètes et aux équipes nationales, l’organisation des compétitions nationales ainsi que la collaboration avec les partenaires provinciaux et territoriaux afin de renforcer la communauté canadienne de l’escalade.

S’appuyant sur plusieurs années de croissance et de développement organisationnel, CEC est à la recherche d’une personne dynamique, collaborative et expérimentée pour assurer la continuité de ses activités et poursuivre la réalisation de ses priorités stratégiques.

À propos du poste

Relevant du conseil d’administration de CEC, la personne titulaire du poste de direction générale sera responsable de la direction, de la gestion et du fonctionnement quotidien de l’organisation.

La personne retenue supervisera notamment les secteurs suivants :

  • Leadership organisationnel : Assurer la gestion des opérations quotidiennes, du personnel et des ressources, ainsi que la mise en œuvre du plan stratégique de CEC.
  • Programmes sportifs et compétitions : Superviser les championnats nationaux, soutenir les programmes de haute performance et renforcer les parcours de développement des athlètes, des entraîneurs et des officiels.
  • Viabilité financière : Assurer la gestion des budgets, du financement gouvernemental, des partenariats et des possibilités de développement de revenus.

  • Relations avec les partenaires : Développer et maintenir des relations solides avec les organismes provinciaux et territoriaux, les athlètes, les entraîneurs, les officiels, les partenaires gouvernementaux et l’ensemble de la communauté de l’escalade.

CEC recherche une personne autonome, motivée et organisée, possédant une expérience démontrée en gestion organisationnelle, en supervision financière, en gouvernance et en relations avec les partenaires.

Une expérience au sein du système sportif canadien constitue un atout, tout comme une connaissance de l’escalade de compétition, bien que cette dernière ne soit pas une exigence. Une forte préférence sera accordée aux personnes candidates capables de travailler en français et en anglais.

Assurer une transition harmonieuse

Le conseil d’administration de CEC s’engage à assurer une transition harmonieuse à la direction de l’organisation, tout en maintenant la continuité de ses programmes, de ses services et de ses prochaines compétitions.
