• Strong communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to track expenses and manage departmental budgets.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel preferred.
• A hands-on leadership style and willingness to support the team wherever needed.

We're excited to be building the team at The Point Surf Park! As a new operation, we're developing our team and processes from the ground up. Our hiring process may take longer than you typically expect, and we appreciate your patience as we carefully review applications and prepare for opening.
