About the Role
ALL BCI BOARD POSITIONS ARE VOLUNTEER
We're about turning passion into unforgettable experiences. However, this means a diverse team of individuals, who would rather be playing Star Citizen, who need to someone to help us stay on task! We are looking for a Chief of Operations (COO) who will oversee the company’s operational functions, with a primary focus on managing overall project execution and leading the training department. The COO will drive operational excellence, streamline processes, and ensure alignment with the company’s goals. It takes a lot to run a tight ship and we hope you can help!
A key aspect of BCI will be training for coordinators and we hope you can pilot that team. We will be recruiting training staff - but, they will need some guidance from a project manager on accomplishing that mission.
NOTE: This is a volunteer role requiring a substantial time commitment. Hopefully, as our organization becomes more developed the time commitment will reduce. However, during high-profile events like CitizenCon, Bar CitizenCon Week, or other CIG attended large events the commitment may increase.
Be a proud part of the Bar Citizen® initiative, helping bring Star Citizen® fans together in the real world, one unforgettable gathering at a time.
