PARALYMPIC GAMESDIRECTOR (F/M/X)

The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) offers the position of a full-time Paralympic Games Director (f/m/x) in an international and multicultural team at the IPC Headquarters in Bonn, Germany, starting in early 2025 or as agreed with the successful applicant.

**ABOUT THE IPC**

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.

- Contributing to the successful deployment of the IPC Delegation at each edition of the Paralympic Games, including the internal onboarding and readiness programme.
- Building positive relationships with stakeholders across the Paralympic Movement, representing the G&E division and wider IPC in meetings and forums, including with the IPC Governing Board and external stakeholders, including the IOC, OCOGs and their delivery partners.
- Engaging with the G&E division and wider IPC Games Management Team in the continuous evaluation of the IPC's Games Delivery Model and ways of working, proactively identifying opportunities for improvement to advance the IPC's goal of rigorously pursuing excellence in service of the Paralympic Movement.

**CORE REQUIREMENTS**
- A deep passion to work within the Paralympic Movement and shares the IPC's vision, mission and values.
