How to Apply for Int'l Executive administrative partner

at Swift Sports Organisation

🏢 About Swift Sports Organisation

Swift Sports Organisation is unique as a Ugandan community-based organization that directly combats poverty through sports talent development, specifically working with single mothers and disadvantaged youth. Unlike typical sports organizations, they focus on creating sustainable projects and practical skilling opportunities alongside netball, football, and rugby programs. Someone might want to work here to make tangible social impact while building innovative community solutions from the ground up.

About This Role

This International Executive Administrative Partner role involves developing and implementing projects to sustain club activities, specifically establishing and managing the piglets project and Swift recreation center. You'll be a hands-on developer and implementor supporting organizational growth and operational structure in a remote, part-time capacity. The impact comes from creating sustainable systems that directly support poverty alleviation through sports in Uganda.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning virtual meetings with Ugandan team members to coordinate piglets project development, followed by research and planning for the recreation center's sustainable operations. Afternoons could include drafting project proposals, connecting with potential partners remotely, and developing implementation timelines while balancing part-time hours across different time zones. You'd regularly troubleshoot resource constraints and adapt plans based on ground realities reported by the local team.
