Cycling Ireland is looking for part-time staff to work at bike races, through the season and across the country, to improve the appearance of the events and perform other tasks. The staff being sought will travel to races across all disciplines and will work on “event activation”.
They
will be responsible for “branding, sponsorship activation and ensuring consistent look and feel of Cycling Ireland national championships,
National Series and other major events across all disciplines”.
The tasks activation
staff perform will aim to create a continuity around how events look, and thus
how they are presented to the public, the media and to potential sponsors;
something British Cycling has worked hard on over the last 10 to 20 years.
Candidates
will be required to work weekends – as most events take place at weekends – and
must have a clean drivers licence and access to their own car, which they will
use for the event activation work.
