World Wheelchair Rugby (WWR) has announced a new opportunity for a Program Manager to support its international programs, with a strong focus on global development and gender equity.
The role, offered as a full-time remote contract, will play a key part in strengthening the sport worldwide. The successful candidate will support competition development, including pathways to the Paralympic Games and World Championships, while also helping develop new events and maintain global rankings.
In addition to supporting competitions, the Program Manager will support initiatives aimed at expanding participation—particularly among women—by working closely with WWR’s Women’s Advisory Group. The role also involves collaborating with international partners, regional leaders, and working groups to grow the sport and improve communication across member nations.
A significant part of the position includes identifying funding opportunities, managing program budgets, and delivering an annual operational plan aligned with WWR’s strategic goals.
WWR is looking for candidates with experience in sports administration, strong communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects independently. Knowledge of parasport or wheelchair rugby is considered an advantage.
The three-year contract offers a salary of $50,000–$56,000 USD, with applications opening on March 18 and closing on April 12. The successful candidate is expected to begin in June 2026.
