Office Manager Position at Granny Gear Productions

Position: This person is the front line employee that interfaces with all of Granny’s racers. Position is full time and includes travel to great locations 5 times a year minimum [places like Snowshoe, Moab, Northern California, Temecula California and beautiful Canaan Valley.] This person must have a sense of humor, wear many hats and be a “completion driven” individual who is always organized. Position includes health care, and paid vacation benefits – salary will be commensurate to candidate’s experience. Position open immediately.

Location: Granny Gear is based in Davis, WV adjacent to nationally known Canaan Valley. Tucker County has two state parks, America’s 500th National Wildlife Refuge, and thousands of miles of trails and wild rivers. The area sees 180+ inches of natural snowfall annually and is minutes from ski areas. Canaan Valley is the Mountain Biking haven of the Eastern USA and is quiet and affordable rural living in a small mountain town. Our office is a quick walk to the best restaurant in town and right next to the trail.

Duties include:
Working with racers through online registration and on all communication channels – the voice of Granny Gear daily.

Working with Corporate Sponsors on all communication channels

Scheduling, design, and implementation of race & event related services

Scheduling meetings, travel, and maintenance schedules

Purchasing of equipment, supplies and prizes from suppliers

Supervision of office staff on a project basis

Coordinator of volunteers & staff at race events

And as always - other duties as assigned – this small team moves very fast to host world-class events across the country!


Recommended Experience:
The ideal candidate is a person who is educated, articulates ideas well, is a fast learner and truly enjoys people. Strong computer literacy with both Microsoft office applications and Adobe software products is a plus. An individual who loves to travel - to great locations in North America, 5+ times each year – is essential. Any experience with trail work, volunteers, and biking is a plus but not required. Granny Gear is an equal opportunity employer and seeks applicants from a wide range of experience. Please send a resume and cover letter (no calls please) to Carl Bolyard carl@grannygear.com or fax them to 304.259.5596

Who deemed the Canaan Valley as "the Mountain Bike haven of the Eastern USA??":rolleyes:

And that best restaurant in town is probably more likely the ONLY restaurant in town. ;) :p :D
