Project Activators are the engine room of British Rowing’s participation growth agenda. Working directly with clubs, schools, universities and community partners, you will bring energy, creativity and focus to the task of opening up rowing to more people, in more places.

About Project Activator (North / Midlands / South - 3 posts)

This is a highly practical, outward-facing role for people who enjoy building relationships, solving problems quickly and helping others turn ideas into action. You will be part of a small, agile national team, reporting to the Transformational Programme Lead, with the opportunity to lead projects, test new formats and play a visible role in shaping the future of the sport.

British Rowing is recruiting three Project Activators. Each role will have a geographic emphasis (North, Midlands or South), ensuring we are close to the communities we serve.
