Rowing Australia - EOI Beach Sprint Program Coaching Role

At Rowing Australia, we believe that no matter how you get involved – as a rower, a coach, or a volunteer – our sport develops excellent people. We are an organisation that nurtures and develops talent, creating opportunities for those committed to the pursuit of excellence.

Our High Performance program strives for sustainable success through the implementation of world’s best practice, including athlete development and support systems.

With LA 2028 on the horizon, Australian Beach Sprint rowers will have a three-medal opportunity in the Men’s and Women’s Solo and Mixed Double Scull. The Beach Sprint Coach will work closely with the Head of Para and Beach Sprint Rowing to build on the momentum our Beach Sprint Team has established over the last three years – creating a clear vision and driving a high-performance culture that delivers podium success at World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals and culminates in a pinnacle performance at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

Quality coaching is integral to success, and we believe rowing is a coach-driven sport. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape and deliver outstanding technical and performance standards within a growing discipline.

This is a full-time position, offering a competitive remuneration package, although other options may be considered for the right candidate.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a coach and team player who can:

  • Develop and sustain a high-performance culture that drives performance.

  • Demonstrate a clear understanding of International Beach Sprint racing.

  • Bring a strong record of high-performance success in rowing, either as an athlete or a coach.

  • Understand the ASC Win Well pledge and the importance of athlete wellbeing as a key pillar of daily performance environments for sustainable high performance.

  • Demonstrate an ability to collaboratively develop and deliver podium performances.

  • Work effectively with NTC staff and coaches as part of an integrated high-performance network.

  • Engage with high-performance support teams to achieve holistic athlete health and sport performance outcomes.

  • Support the wider development of the Beach Sprints format, including talent identification, technical and training guidance, development of boat handlers, course laying and management, and coach education.
