Games Operations Senior Manager (F/M/X)

ABOUT THE IPC

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) offers the position of a full-time
Games Operations Senior Manager (f/m/x) in an international and multicultural
team at the IPC Headquarters (on-site) in Bonn, Germany, starting as soon as
possible.

At the IPC, we work as one team, aligned and focused on fulfilling our vision and
mission.

The IPC’s vision is for an inclusive world through Para sport. We believe that
Change Starts With Sport, and that the work of the Paralympic Movement is a
catalyst for driving social inclusion and advancing the UN Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The IPC, a purpose-driven non-profit association, is the global governing body of
the Paralympic Movement. We oversee the delivery of the Paralympic Games and
Paralympic Winter Games and serve as International Federation for five Para
sports. We enjoy a positive working relationship with the IPC Governing Board,
members of which are democratically elected every four years by the IPC General
Assembly. Since 1989, we have been creating change through sport with the
Paralympic Games and Paralympic athletes at our core.

The IPC seeks to use the influential global position of the Paralympic Movement
and the growing profile of Para athletes to challenge the stigma attached to
disability and empower social transformation.
