Job Description
The University of Oregon is a prestigious public research university located in Eugene, Oregon, known for its strong commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and community engagement. Established in 1876, the university has grown into a vibrant institution with comprehensive programs and a dynamic campus environment. The university's Intercollegiate Athletics Department plays a vital role in fostering student-athlete development by providing unique opportunities for growth, competition, and achievement. It hosts a wide range of athletic events and has a significant footprint, drawing over 600,000 spectators annually and employing approximately 290 administrative and classified staff members.
The University of Oregon Intercollegiate Athletics Department is dedicated to creating an outstanding student-athlete experience by supporting excellence both in the classroom and on the field of play. The department competes fiercely within the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference, ensuring that student-athletes represent the university with pride and integrity. The department's vision is focused on developing student-athletes holistically, helping them reach their maximum potential in academics, athletics, and personal growth. As a major hub of athletic competition and fan engagement, the department demands an organized, diligent, and customer-service-oriented staff to support its numerous events and initiatives.
The Concessions Event Manager position within the Intercollegiate Athletics Department is a key role responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day food and beverage operations at University of Oregon Athletic Department sporting events. This includes organizing all aspects of concessions from pre-event preparations to post-event breakdowns. The manager hires, trains, schedules, supervises, and evaluates a large temporary workforce comprised of up to 80 part-time and student employees. Additionally, this role coordinates with 40 non-profit volunteer groups, each potentially having up to 50 members, to staff concession stands during home games and various outside events.
This position is crucial for ensuring excellent customer service and smooth operational flow during high-attendance events. It requires exceptional leadership skills, inventory management expertise, and a strong ability to handle cash management responsibilities proficiently. As events often occur outside of regular business hours, including nights and weekends, the manager must be flexible and dedicated. The Concessions Event Manager promotes the department's philosophy and objectives by adhering to university policies, NCAA regulations, and the standards of the Big Ten Conference.
Employment is a regular, ongoing appointment with 1.0 FTE and comes with a salary commensurate with experience.
